REALLY?!?!? WHEN??? WHEERE? WHO? WHICH TWO??? Avenger and Kate would be fine with me.

You ain't messin with me, are ya? I've been a big torpedo fan and was devastated (no pun intended, tbd) when grumman pulled it's crap.

I haven't done mods yet, but this would pull me right in. Actually, how do you fly missions with them, cuz I figure you can't add to dgen and dcg probably wouldn't see them?

well flying the torp planes is kinda realitive..........try fly anything with the right rudder at full and you will get the idea. Until someone makes a new model of these planes.....the AAA guys wont make a new FM for them....and thats the way it should be. No FM modifications to existing planes.....even if they fly like crap

Actually, the Turkey is quite flyable. All it requires if a healthy dose of trim. The Kate, on the other hand, is really a hand full due to it's lack of trim in any of the axes. I find it hard to believe that the Japanese would have designed a plane like that without the ability to trim it in pitch, roll and yaw. But no tmdgm, we are not messin with you. The modded version allows you to fly both the TBF-1C and the TBM-3 as well as the B5N Kate and B6N Jill. The Kate and Jill are both great planes, but without the ability to trim them up for straight and level flight, they are extremely difficult for a human to fly. The FMs for all of these planes are very definitely porked beyond belief, but still a kick to fly around the boat.

Here are some screen shots of what we do with the Turkey in Air Group 51 aboard the San Jacinto (CVL 30)

No screens of all of the landed planes back on deck in formation? smile

Its definatly one of the worst fms in game but still flyable and fun when everyones on the same team. but then again its olegs world where the me323 and betty are more manueverable then anything on the allied side fighter wise smile

Iknow a few of the coops when in a zeke vs alot of avengers got 11 of them flying low, I wish the aaa team would get rid of olegs stupid cannon fish flops which is so unrealistic, you know when you hit a plane with a short 1 sec burst that makes it flop upside down. In rl even the the larger explosive cannon rounds should be like shooting pins through a aluminum box with spars supporting it.

I just hope maddox puts some work into dms, glide slopes when engine power is lost being like a rock that doesnt flying around weightlessly like a kite, fires that kill pilots, more pks. It would be nice to make oilsplash and damaged canopy bulletproof front glass be 100% zero visability to force bailouts. Its just so uneven with the different 3rd party pits and gunsites that break off. But olegs crew changes the 190 for example when a few shots would break the revi to the side. I will be looking for yas online razor. Love these types of team coops

We can usually be found in the 200th Sentai's server in HL on Tuesday and Thursday nights after about 2300ET. It's called, OKINAWA_1945 and is 4.09m. You'll need the modded Okinawa map for it though. A beautiful map BTW. wink

oh wait, is this making them flyable from external view? i.e. no cockpit/gunner stations? Knew about that. Was wondering if anything with a cockpit/gunner stations?

Hello!

At the moment there are already several possibilities to fly torpedo bombers: stock AIs have been made flyable, then a Fw-190A-5 U4 with a torpedo has been added, a Ju-88A-4 Torp with a specific flight model is now available (see AAA UI v1.1). A TBM 1 with a new flight model is also available on the Check-Six site, and a PBY on the Fusion site.

Sweet, I gotta give this a try. Is everything at AAA mod site? I don't remember seeing it there.

How do I fly these in missions? DGEN won't take em, will Dcg take em?

Get their new Unified Installer v1.1 and sound Mod. It will have all the flyable aircraft in it. Don't know anything about DGEN or DCG. Have a look around the AAA site. Maybe there is something in there that will point you in the right direction. I take it you're strictly an offline player?

Thanks, I'll take a look. So sounds like it's just embedded in the main unified installer and sound mod. I guess I thought it was the flyable from external view only.

Yeah, i'm mostly an offline player. I do play on line once in a while, but mostly off line. If I do go online more frequently, I'll be sure to check out Air Group 51.

Thanks again.

I forgot to mention you can also fly a He-111H with torpedoes (stock) and IL-4s made flyable with torpedoes.

They can be included in DGen campaigns. Some DGen modded campaigns are already available at M4T.

For DGen campaigns of torpedo bombers, what would you like to see? It can be done...

Hmmm, the "modded" Avenger is flyable, so it would make sense to insert it into the dgen pacific USN bomber campaign - Vincent?
