Beaufighter Fire Extinguishers
#1

G'day All,

Sorry if this has come up before, I would like to ask if there is a possibility if having fire extinguishers installed in the Beaufighters? I was reading an excellent book about Raynor Barber, an Aussie FLTLT in the New Guinea campaign on Beau's. It was mentioned about using fire extinguishers to, well, extinguish an engine fire on his Beau. I was thinking, "Hang on, there isn't a fire extinguisher fitted on the Beau's in the game, I wonder why?"
So, I am curious as to whether this minor oversight could be rectified?

This also leads me into thinking about any other aircraft that might have missed out on a vital life preserving component for their aircraft which were "in real life" fitted with fire extinguishers.

Having said that, is it also possible for bombers to self extinguish fuselage fires by AI aircrew???

Ok, last one, someone suggested to me that a good idea for a mod would be for extra ammo for gunner positions to simulate transfering ammo from one gunner possition to another as was the case in real life air combat situations. I know this last bit should be in a seperate post but I am thinking as I am typing whilst being burdened with a fish bowl brain.....

Cheers and Beers

also the b-17, 24, and 29 need them. i'm sure there are other planes that have them missing too.

actually, sorry to go a bit out of the way here but does anyone know which planes in game actually have fire extinguishers?

I don't want to state the obvious, but it isn't possible to add fire extinguishers to any of the stock aircraft... maybe the modded versions of the Beaufighter, and if there are ever released any new slot B17, 24 and 29s some fire extinguishers wouldn't go amiss. Which aircraft do have them? well the only one that springs to mind is the Do335, there must be loads more though...

don't think this will ever happen as it would give you an advantage over an un modded version of the game. Im not sure about this but it may also need a change in the FM in which case it's a huge no. Would be awesome to have them though....... Such a shame Sad

hello..I set the fire extinguisher in game controls
as Ctrl F=Fire_Extinguisher
The Mossie I think :? as I've rarely used such
(I'm not that good :lol: ) but recall setting up
the Controls & toggling the fire extinguisher
during a Mossie flight.
Hopefully of help :wink:

Doesn't the b-25, the He-111, the Ju-88 and the A-20 have (original default bombers)???
