New Radio Operator Call Ins

Supply Drop- a supply crate is air dropped by a plane, perfect for when Engineers aren’t available or if you want to drop supplies at a specific point such as in the middle of a battle or a strategic area, maybe it could supply medkits as well

Rocket Artillery- fires a large barrage that covers a wider area than regular artillery but is very inaccurate

Incendiary Bombing Run- a bombing run with incendiary bombs, has a longer cooldown than the standard bombing run

Heavy / Strategic Bombing Run- a more powerful bombing run with a more durable and armed planes carrying a more powerful payload, but has an even longer cool down than the standard bombing run

The Heavy Bombers for all the current factions would be:
America Europe: B-17 Flying Fortress

America Pacific: B-24 Liberator

Britain: Avro Lancaster

Soviet Union: Pe-8

Germany: He 177 Greif

Italy: Piaggio P.108

Japan: two candidates

Ki-49, carried a larger bomb load than its successor the Ki-67

Ki-67, their most durable plane

Recon Plane- a recon plane flies over the map to spot, it spawns far back like a bombing run and needs time to enter the battlefield so the enemy team has a chance to shoot it down, perfect for spotting enemy rally points, AA, anti tank guns, vehicles, etc, will only spot targets that it flies over and aren’t in cover, buildings, smoked, etc, it could leave a spot mark where it saw enemies, theoretically could reveal the class of whatever enemies it saw for a limited amount of time on the scoreboard (like from that update not too long ago that was changed), overall a great team support for mortars, snipers, planes, etc, would have a moderate cool down, the enemy team is not notified it has been called in, it wouldn’t be much of a recon plane if it told you it was coming

The Recon Planes would be:
America: F-4/ F-5 Lightning
image

Britain: de Havilland Mosquito

Soviet Union: Polikarpov R-5

Germany: two candidates
Fi 156 Storch, used in every single theater

Fw 189 Uhu, highly effective and used primarily on the Eastern Front (obviously it doesn’t matter if it appears on every map, just a factoid)
image

Italy: Ro.37 Lince
image

Japan: Ki-46
image

Air Strike- a powerful ground strike, every faction has their own unique “air strike”, has the longest cool downs

America/ Britain Allies: Tallboy Bomb, a single Avro Lancaster is called in like a bombing run but spawns even further back so it has to fly a much longer distance to reach the zone giving the enemy ample time to attack it, it was the second largest bomb used by the Allies, its successor the Grand Slam would be too much overkill
image

America Pacific: B-29 Superfortress, powerful payload, a single one is called in like a bombing run but spawns even further back so it has to fly a much longer distance to reach the zone giving the enemy ample time to attack it

Soviet Union: Katyusha Battery, a much larger rocket artillery barrage that covers a much larger area than regular artillery, the Soviets were infamous in their mass use of Katyushas
image

Germany: Sturmtiger shot, a single powerful rocket strike

However given that we will likely get the Sturmtiger as a vehicle one day ( although there’s nothing wrong with having multiple iterations of something if it has different functionalities like Rocket Vehicles and Rocket Artillery) another good air strike would be

Hs 293- a raid guided glide bomb that was used originally against shipping but was later used against ground targets as the Western Front intensified. Alternatively Germany’s Air Strike could be any of the plethora of missile technology

Japan: 45cm Naval Rocket, a single powerful rocket strike

A strafing run by two AI controlled aircraft that could be called in. It would do damage in strips primarily against light fortifications and infantry. It would have a longer cooldown and would take longer to reach the battlefield than the artillery call in but shorter cooldown than the bombing run and faster to reach the battlefield.

This one is already in game.

On note with Recon planes, they could work imo. They could show enemies on map, but would be vurnerable to AA and Fighters.

Speaking of planes, the A20 is both a useable plane and the American Bombing Run call in, meaning we can have vehicles that have different functionalities.

I say this because I think it would be cool to have the Japanese bombers as a playable variant one day

For sure, but what plane pick? They don’t really have something similar, at least i can’t think of anything right now.

Well the great thing about this game is it already has so much content and a high content potential in general, for starters G4N “Betty” that we have in game as the bombing run, and even the heavy Japanese planes I said in my post were practically medium bombers statistics wise

If you mean it like that there is many options, best would be one of Ki-49. I meant it like on pair in performance with A-20 having its 6 front mounted 50. cals and 3 more in turrets it can easily kill any Japanese bomber, while they have only turrets with some MG or cannons.

Another part of this game is that it is asymmetrically balanced so I think it’s not that big of a deal ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It’s the same thing with tanks

Not a big deal for me, i love to fly everything.

Recon plane looks very interesting.

Recon plane should be the ability of fighter pilot, not the radio operator !!!

Fighter pilot flies above the battlefield and uses the “camera”, which gives the rest of the team STATIC positions of enemy soldiers and vehicles (on the map), but only on the area which was caught on the “photo”.

The camera should have 100- 200 sec. cooldown for the whole team.

Cool but mostly gimmicky.

Skill issue.

Ehh, you can already press “V” in a plane.

Perhaps the L-4 Grasshopper would be more fun.

If you want a smaller plane, there’s also Spitfires. Reconnaissance variants came in neat colors.

They also had the Land Mattress FYI.

Why not Nebelwerfer?

Well those would basically be Rocket Artillery like in my post. I was also thinking that rocket artillery could also be implemented as an Engineer buildable for Mortar squads.

Anyway the more toys for this sandbox the better

Plus the same “idea” can be implemented in multiple ways because they have different applications, for example the A20 being a flyable plane and the current American bombing run.
