4 Aircraft i would like....
 
Into the GWX 3 Mod are the Lancaster, Spitfire(various) the Blenhiem and one of the most notoriously used against (the battle of Norway) the Manchester Bomber!

And as I've heard (correct me if i'm wrong) if you make then elite they will not attack your sub and ?thersfore continue on there mission?

The GWX team hopefully will help?

Thanks

Yes, I noticed that there are a large number of planes missing from the game.


BUT


I'm not sure where they would stick the Spitfire, or Lancaster. Lancasters didn't attack subs, as far as I know, and neither did Spitfires. Its the same reason no one programmed tanks in the game, we won't see them.


The Blenheim and Manchester would be nice though

There's a few types of spitfire available, the blenheim and the lancaster are already available but need remodeling to contain clear glass cockpits (instead of blue silly looking ones) as for the Manchester? I'm no 3D guru!

Maybe the GWX team could give us a good answer to this!??

ok

AFAIK, the GWX team wont be doing anything for SHIII anymore.

Task Force 12-28-08 07:16 PM

Yea, they have moved to sh4.:yep:They might add them to SH4. I wonder if Iambecomelife or VonDos might be able to do that.:hmm:

You'll find the whole GWX team changing gear to GWX 4. They've stated a number of times that GWX 3 Gold is the final release.

The Lancaster was erroneously included as an American heavy bomber in SH4, so with a little work it can be modded in for SH3. I will look into it after I'm finished with the Merchant Fleet Mod.

It's historically accurate to have them - No. 44 Squadron and No. 61 Squadron were two Lancaster units attached to Coastal Command, and there may have been more.

Here's one Secret German Flying Weapon I'd like to see in SH3. :rotfl:

They stated that GWX 2.1 would be the final release. ;) :rotfl:

I'm eagerly awaiting GWX 3.5 Platinum Edition. :up:

True, but only for a seven week period from mid-June 1942 (including one support operation by 50SQN).

After 61SQN lost its fourth Lanc in 24 hours, Harris effectively put a stop to it. Losing 4 Lancs (31% of total loaned) for only 3 U-boat losses wasn't considered a viable use of Bomber Command aircraft!

I think their greater value in SH3 would be as a port bomber. Attacks against the Graf Zeppelin and Tirpitz were undertaken by Lancs. Many port bombings, and later in the war targetted U-boat bombings within ports, were undertaken by Lancs.

Denis did a Lanc model (or SH4 conversion? Not sure) - I had it in my SH3 install until I deleted it all a few months ago. It carried (perhaps unintentionally) a RAAF Squadron's colours.

Avro Manchesters would be nice - one could argue their inclusion over other plane types that have been included.

There are already models of Spits and Lancs as well as a Blenheim out there

Adding to your own install is fairly simple
If you fancy doing so and get the aircaft will help you there no problem
