Wellington rebalanced

[DreJaDe]

I was making Wellington bomber reskin and I think that why not update it's stats also, so I looked at some articles and the stats in game and here's what I found out and suggestion.

A. Make it a 5 turn unit and make it a hangar exclusive plane. Compared to the German and British counterpart, it's just way too lacking. Damage and Overall HP is almost equal to both mosquito and Ju88 but lacking in speed and even Ju88 have it's torpedo. Both aircraft also seems to have greater sight.

B. Make it's sight greater than before (maybe have a stealth sight). It's actually used as a reconnaissance plane, even used as anti sub with search lights specifically for anti sub warfare.

Thoughts?

Here's also the reskin of Wellington bomber

If exclusively to hangar, then I think the 5 turn is justifiable. If im not wrong, it became 6 turn because it was being spammed by players on smaller maps because of its good bomb payload.

Slight incease of sight is fine.

But I disagree with the stealth spotting ability. There are planes in game that has a reconnaissance variant in real life too. It can be implemented as a separate recon plane like the other planes would be (in the other topic forum). Because recon planes has less armaments.

awesome image! - the new image is in - thanks!
what do i do with old image? shall i make a "retro" pack? or that was not that good worth keeping? here

[Jasondunkel]

the image is great
but would then like to use it for an upgrade.
there is the wellington MK X which was launched around 1942. i.e. industry lvl 2 (medium)
there the bomb load would be improved from 2000kg to 2700kg.
we could also give this version torpedoes with the same cooldown as the ju88
I don't want to make it any cheaper.
and should it still only be an airfield unit under these statements?

I made this one specifically for this one.

Maybe I'll make a new one for the mark 10

Honestly, I want it to take on a different role than just having a slower and more inefficient versatile bomber or torpedo bomber. Which is why I want it to be a cheaper.

A) yes. B) is there a way to make stealth sight only vs naval? If so, yes. If it would have to apply to land units too, no.

This upgrade idea is great. I think logically, if the lesser one may not be built in Tc, the upgrade, which is more advanced, would likewise be unbuildable in Tc. But, if it focuses on naval use, and if it can land in a carrier, which I DO NOT believe it can, allow it to be made by carrier as well.

@Drejade

what about the image for mark X?

Tried to make it look different.

[Stratego (dev)]

waitt is it a different unit or the same wellington?
if latter should this new image be a skin?
