Swordfish Soup Recipe - RAF_Magpie - 30.11.2007

Seems a few would like the idea of a sword fish... It got me thinking.... What about the following recipe?

Take 1 Gloster Gladiator MkII (three bladed prop)
Take 1 Polikarpov U2 (for external cockpit, gunner, and undercart)
Take 1 Polikarpov I-16 (for internal cockpit)
Take 1 Nakajima B5N2 FM/DM/WL (for torpedo carrying)

Use the Gladiator fuzz & wings, stretch the fuzz, remove the cockpit & undercart from 3d model, and replace with polikarpov U2/Po-2 cockpit & gunner position, and undercart. Then mix together with a splattering of Nakajima B5N2 FM/DM/WL, to allow the carrage of torpedo

End result should look something like this:

Wouldn't be worth a damn without a tail hook

Ooo woops...

Take (anything with a tail hook, perhaps a Seafire?), take its tailhook add to the mix + a pinch of salt...

And/or the addition of Ar-196 floats...

hehehe quite easily. I wouldnt want to see this happen - it just how one could

Although if this was done - as a seperate aircraft - without replacing anything... even if it was used as a sole AI...

Sorry, mis-read what you said. Yes I suppose in hind sight this seems a little hypocritical.

I was bored rather this afternoon and it occured to me that one could almost achieve it...

*EDIT* BTW its not my line. Note I didnt suggest modding the FM/DM/WL - but using one that already exist and is rather inferior.

I'd absolutely love to see some form of Swordfish in the game. It'd fit in just great with our FAA Campaign which my squadron are flying right now.

On the subject of tail hooks, could we stick one on the Hurricane or the Gladiator? Maybe replace the Hurri field mod version and the Glad MkI.

---

- Willy - 30.11.2007

Adding a tail hook is not a big problem and has already been done. However, getting it to work requires modification to the flight model and so far in v4.08 this has not been done.

See here.

thus the suggestion of perhaps using an FM with the catch hook already programed in...
