Tante Ju

[Foobar]

I highly doubt that 10 dollars will be enough for a large tri-engine plane. At least 20-25 could be realistic. We will see.

[BMA_FlyingShark]

Yes.

 

[Feathered_IV]

I would definitely buy the Ju-52.   If -  the points earned for a round-trip supply mission were sufficiently high to make transport pilots a force to be reckoned with on the leaderboards.

And... if the points awarded for shooting down a Ju-52 were 5x that of a fighter vs fighter kill.  With those very same points being subtracted as a penalty from the transport pilots own accrued score.  That would make the life of the transport pilot's life both dangerous and rewarding, and put them at the centre of any online mission or campaign.

[Triad773]

Have to say I voted *Yes,* I might pay for one if it were flyable; but if it were Ai only (which would suit me fine,) I would not pay for the add on. It was an integral part of the air war and generally think it would be a welcome target . . . I mean addition

[Pollux]

I voted the first choice! 

 

I hope to buy one day and fly above the map Stalingrad.

[CCG_Pips]

_{This plane should be useful not only on the Stalingrad map but also on ALL fronts of Western/Eastern/North Africa batlles during the whole WWII!!!}

 

_{So I hope too for that plane}  

[sturmkraehe]

I hope the policy of making only planes if they are also flyable will be revised at some point. I personally think that making a plane flyable that will be rarely flown by people and only by a very small minority as will be the case for a transport plane such as the Ju52 does not justify the effort that has to be put into it. 

 

However, some planes are simply a must have at least as AI like transport aircraft or spotter planes. If they are not flyable there's no need to build a cockpit and imho also the FM and to some extend also the DM does not need to be as sophisticated as for a flyable plane.

I just don't see how it's supposed to work if this would be an AI only release.

 

Will everyone who joins a mission online which has the AI Ju-52 in it, have to buy the AI-only Ju-52 then? Or should the AI plane be linked to a certain map that people would need to buy? If so, wouldn't that rule out the Ju-52 on the BoS map?

 

It still remains to be seen how they'll handle the plane releases in BoS, but i can't imagine how AI only releases would be worth the effort, even without cockpit and a simple DM and FM.

 

I would pay for a fully modelled, player controllable Ju-52, even though i have little interest in flying it myself. Same is true for most other planes which actually were used during the BoS in significant numbers. But i can understand that the devs have to set priorities and i have my doubts that the Ju-52 would sell as well as many other planetypes, so it will perhaps need to be bundled with other planes to make it cost efficient.

[sturmkraehe]

It has already been mentioned that the RoF scheme will not be applied to BoS. So I would not expect to purchase all additional planes one by one as with RoF.

[Matt]

No i don't expect that either. I'm guessing that planes will be released together with maps. Maybe 4-6 new planes and a new map in pack, with the option of using the new planes on the old map and vice versa (assuming you bought both BoS and the new pack).

 

But who knows, that might actually take too long to develop.

[MiG21bisFishbedL]

Maybe some of you recall a sim for the PS2, Aero Elite Combat Academy? It had a decent roster of fighters to fly, but the best part?

 

 

This beast. Flying rescue missions with this was damn fun. Having Tante Ju to perform similar operations would be awesome and serve to add some really good variety to the game.

 

Players would be pretty shocked at how nimble it is. I saw Rimowa's Ju-52 at Oshkosh in 2012 and that big ugly beast could turn on a dime, it looked awesome. A Ju-52 would be a must have for me.

You DARE to call this lovely plane ( <3 ) UGLY?? Seriously have some love for oldies

I've always loved the Ju52's triple engine design and wouldn't dare to hesitate buying it once announced for BoS.

 

Bet it needs to be released along with a special fighter or bomber as a pack since there seems to be much too less love for the "Tante Ju" out there, an addition of special strategic missions or MP objectives that could only carried with it would also be a viable solution.

This looks like road to Mod hell old sturm turned into...

[LLv44_Mprhead]

If they make that Tunisian Campaign expansion, Ju 52 would be integral part of that too...

I want me some Spanish Civil War. Ju-52s with sting!

[Neil]

What would be Stalingrad without Tante Ju?

This aircraft has been so used , in most (if not all) of the front.

I would love to fly it!

There is a real need for that aircraft!

[MarcoRossolini]

so what's the maths? call it 300 people have voted yes, and as its a transport plane it could cost more than your standard La-5/190. So call it $25 or something... I think 777 should be able to turn a decent profit.

U-2 would be perfect for that (no, not the jet reconnaissance aircraft.)

[Nankeen]

Would be nice to see her in game

[Brano]

I see no problem to do kickstarter campaign.Devs must say how much money it would cost and we can preorder and see,if we can live thru.

That is a good idea!

Maybe after the release?

[Duckman]

Of course I would pay for perhaps the iconic Stalingrad aircraft.

 

Doesn't have to be flyable with 110% perfect flight model, though. I'll take a cheap (but still pretty!) Tante Ju along with some other AI essentials, like the oft-forgotten recon planes, any day.

I agree with you,

I always finded the junkers 52 beautiful, with the DC3

Tante Ju has its own unique charm!

Totally agree. An AI-only plane has no cockpit (has to be a significant part of development) and can get by with simplified damage and flight models.

 

Simplifying the flight model is not a huge loss for bombers or transports that shouldn't be flown at the edge of the envelope anyway (make them stay in formation instead, unlike Il2's bomber AI). Most important for AI bombers would be getting formation and gunner AI right.

[Brano]

There is nothing like simplified FM/DM in DN engine.All planes share the same model.It is not hard to understand it,is it?

[312_Cherry]

YES !!

[Alan_Grey]

I JU52 and we are ready to seamlessly pay $ 25 with no problem

Me too and even more... Ready to support developing of this sim 

I think I did not paid enough for this wonderful sim which always amaze me.

When I see how much dev team are dedicated and, I count less the money I give...

[III/JG53Frankyboy]

Yesterday a Ju52 passed low and slow our house :D

[312_Cherry]

+1

[Pollux]

Here is a list of affected airlift aircraft. 

 

 

You will notice that on the 724 aircraft requisitioned for the bridge are 454 JU 52 is more than half of the fleet. The He 111 had the second most used does not exceed 200 units. 

 

Now Dev has announced will release some additional equipment (2.4, more?). 

 

So the German side (according to my source lean), he does not miss much, either: 

 

  - The JU 88 A (70 aircraft) of I and II Gruppen of KG 51 respectively based Tatsinskaia and Bagerovo. 

  - BF 110 (only 28 aircraft) of Stab and II Gruppen of GAR based respectively Tatsinskaia and Tchachty. 

  - HS 129 (only thirty aircraft) of the 1 Sch.G based Karpovka. 

 

Hopefully they come out at least two German planes and two Russian, I would see the German side JU JU 52 and 88.

Pollux, have I missed something?

[*]Le modèle commercial sera hybride entre celui de RoF (avec du contenu payant additionnel) et celui d'IL2 (avec des nouvelles releases complètes). (LOFT)

[*]Les développement ultérieurs du jeu se concentreront sur des releases par théâtre (carte et avions), avec quelques avions "à la carte" (Jason)

[*]Du contenu additionnel (payant) sera ajouté après la sortie initiale. (Jason)

 

 

Mais rien de précis sur le nombre je reconnais. 

[cromagnon]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

[PA-Sniv]

A focus on theaters with a possibility of SOME aircraft sold a la cart.

Well, we already have 2 "à la carte"... Really hope for more, but...

[Good991]

definatly a want!

[Michael_Wilhelm]

we need her. pls put her in. maybe with paratroopers would be cool.  did the 4./Fallschirm-Fla MG.Btl not fight in stalingrad?

but yeah, would buy it for shure

When I first heard the suggestion to add Ju52 to this game, I wasn't too thrilled to be honest. Seemed like a waste of good resources to use all the limited hours of of the 3D modellers and flight modellers for a transport plane in a WWII simulator.

 

However, after finding the He-111 supply missions incredibly fun on the Syndicate server I have completely changed my mind; it really comes down to good mission and good team work. Now I would definitely buy and fly the Ju52.

+1, supply missions are fun and challenging!

[Michael_Wilhelm]

So no responce from the devs? pls don't let us stand here in the cold, tell us if it is a no, if you are discussing it, when you will be discussing it or so.

A lot of games fail by not listening or responding to there community
