L4 Grasshopper Premium/Event Plane Suggestion

One very interesting and unique vehicle I would love to see in the game would be Charles Carpenter’s modified L4 Grasshopper. Though it is a reconnaissance plane, Carpenter mounted six M-1 bazookas to the wings and successfully destroyed 5 armored vehicles in 1944 in France.

idk, I don’t think it needs a counterpart. It just would be a fun addition

I’m not saying it needs a counterpart.
It just seems like the German mains would cry about it though.
It does look really fun, and seems like a better rocket platform for aiming than some of the other planes.

As an additional thought, Do you think spotting planes could be a thing somehow. Like maybe a flying, spotting, artillery calling in plane haha

German gets Fi 156

s-l500

Looks like an another premium for 5k gold :slightly_smiling_face:, like the PO-2

This plane is not as good as you think.
It is very slow, only have about 140 km/h top speed.

The armament is m1 bazooka. Although it have better pen than m8, It have worse anti infantry capability while m8 is already capable to deal with German tanks.

I will say this thing is basically a downgrade of p38 in Normandy.

It would be a slow, stable platform good for aiming the rockets at tanks.

When I saw the L4 Grasshopper with the bazooka hanging from the wing, I was reminded of the Bücker Bü 181 Bestmann.



Look at the Panzerfaust badass on the wing. The story goes that there were no sights in the cockpit and they could not hit the target at all. :rofl:
