When are we going to get THIS fearsome weapon of war?

Yes, a bazooka firing L4 (Piper Cub). Hey, don't laugh! The Russians have the PO-2....c'mon, it''s only fair!

If you were a German soldier, and saw this diving at you, with it's rockets screaming, surely you would know that the war was lost. As Tiger tanks erupted in flames all around you, you'd be certain that Hitler's Third Reich was nearing it's end.

Good God! Hopefully never! The last thing we need is more novelty. I am betting it was not that effective and didn't "Win the war"

 If it wasn't for the impact it had on future tech, the Me-262 would be cancelled for the same reasons.  :P

The J-3/ L-4 is probably the only airplane that could land on a Tiger, have the pilot knock on the turret, throw in a handgranade and then take off again ?

It is also the aircraft that makes you fear that there might be some dude around with an MP40 and some clips.

Shrike, I'm having a hard time believing that you actually thought that I was serious!

You think I was too? No, we need this?

We need this, I need to pretend I'm bazooka charlie.

 

I need this so I can go full blooded American and shoot down Nazis with my 1911.

Assuming we’re not all being sarcastic...

 

The U-2 is great fun in MP in tank servers.

Adding a similar recon/light ground attack aircraft for Luftwaffe (Hs 123, Fw 189?) would add another layer to tank battles. 

If TC ever ends up with a second expansion in Europe then the L-4 has a space as well. 

 

It would fit the setting, plays a useful role in spotting enemy forces and attacking light vehicles, which could be fun. Also unlikely to do much serious damage to tanks, which would stop the tank crews from complaining when they get repeatedly wiped out by Il-2s.

I would like to see this added if we ever get a Battle of Arracourt or something similar one day.

Being Bazooka Charlie would be pretty sweet in all seriousness.

LOL! Those Pipers were frequently used as Arty-Spotter planes weren´t they? And hey I want my Fieseler Storch then.

It would be fun to fly around the BOX world in in the Piper J3.
