Introducing the Fi 156 Storch for the next version update.  The Storch represents a new class of aircraft in the game - the observer plane, a.k.a liaison or spotter aircraft.  Well regarded for its amazing STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) capability and great all around visibility, it was a real workhorse but was most famous for its use in the raid at Gran Sasso that rescued Mussolini. 

In game it will be available from vehicle bases and ports in addition to airfields.  The next version will have a reduction in vehicle icon ranges from aircraft but the Storch will benefit from a longer vehicle icon range capability making it valuable for battlefield recon and support.  It will also be able to deploy smoke grenades as markers and can land but not drop vehicle supplies.  On top of that it's also just a lot of fun to fly. 

Cactuskooler did a nice job on this skin with a paint scheme from Aufkl. Gr. 32.  It carries a stork emblem on the cowling.  It was nicknamed the Storch, German for stork, because of the long gangly landing gear that resembled a stork's legs.
