New suicide plane ?
The Fieseler is okay , the japan one carrying an 250 kg is not worth it in terms of payloads if we compare to "standard plane " but the fact that is a 1 pass “plane” make an gameplay quicker. Most of player playing standard plane already do that by the way :wink:

Aim the target , paradrop or suicide then go back infantry. Why not ? as en event maybe ?

If that’s was added the mass calculation of the “plane” and the fuel in the tank should be take in accounts

Looks really cool. I don’t know if these kind of planes should be introduced though. Maybe it does not really fit the game …
