American Waco CG-4A Hadrian Glider

***quazi*** · November 28th, 2003

The CG-4A featured a steel tube and wood construction covered with canvas. The nose of the glider was designed to fold out and up in order to allow the loading of men and materials. The glider could carry either a jeep, a 75mm howitzer, a specially-designed bulldozer, or 13 men with their supplies and equipment. The gliders, which were normally towed by C-46 and C-47 aircraft, were crewed by a pilot and a co-pilot.

Yeah that was my Q, how are u gonna get towing to work cos we aint seen it yet, GL

tho I suppose u could launch it in mid air at the edge of a map like in the dogfighting mod? I dunno but its gonna b cool

More importantly, how rough a landing can it take?

We have yet to get it in game, we are currently working on the "TOWABLE" aspect of it.. If it's possible it will be in FH. If not we will have to resort to putting it near the edge of the map in the air.

Either way, it will be a fun addition.

you know the ohka suicide bomb stays on the bottom of the betty bomber and the pilot of that can press the button to release himself from it while airborne, so...
