Deloyable aa
« on: 10-04-2009, 23:04:52 »
how hard would it be to make a mg 42/34 deployable anti aircraft tripod?
Or a bren for the brits and a 30 for the us dudes.
 Use the tripod aa that you have for the brits but make it deployable
Make it a specialty kit like one or two one some of the maps with planes  on each side so the infantry haw some fight against planes

Well it wont be hard,   if you can deploy a laffete and a mortar, i guess this can be done aswel

We have the Bren one I thought. It is incredibly useless.

It is not useless, at least not completely.

Having a big gun to shoot planes can be good, but size isn't everything.

It's not what you got, it's where you stick it.

Having an AA Bren is very useful, especially when you want to defend an outpost which is very remote, and don't have the means to transport anything larger than a bicycle.

And making wider roads is not always the answer. Having very narrow roads also excludes many wide vehicles, making infantry fighting necessary. Which would make sense in the forested areas of Normandy.

Then again, it should be historically accurate, so maybe it just shouldn't be done.

Cheers

so you might put it in?
i like it it would be great not to be strafed by enemy planes and bombed while capping a base or a least have some say so over my death ::) ;D ;)
Thats coming from a devoted FH and FH2 player.
And yes it would make it more historically correct in my opinion and yes it is some what effective.
Well im soso with it.

It's actually not that bad of an idea, as a skilled pilot knows the positions of the AAs and shoots the guy manning it, who usually has no chance. This would give some more unpredictability.

I think it's a wonderfull idea. I love the simplicity of it and how it would contribute to gameplay. Maybe we would have less bofors and more deployable AA gun with this. (on crete for example).

As far as deployable AA goes, I think that the american M1919 and German MG34/42 would see some use by players, but the bren would be left abandoned, since it has no sustaned fire capability.

The lafette has the extension for AA use, so the German mobile AA could just be a different deployable tripod in the current lafette kit.  I'm not sure about the M1919 AA tripod, so 2 kits might be needed.  Does the Vickers tripod have an AA extension?  If like I suggested above the mobile AA tripods were put in with the normal tripod kits, they would see a reasonably large amount of use.

Haha with deployable AA I was thinking about a Vierling in your backpack.
But this is a good suggestion, would take a bit of coding work for the devs, don't know if they think it's worth it.

Why? I don't see why this couldn't use exactly the same code the Lafetten and mortars already have, just has to be copied over to the light AAs, twin MG34/42 etc. - don't think this is a lot of work.
