Just what we really need...

get back from holiday.. check announcements and...a B-24!!!!! YAY! MORE AMERICAN PLANEZ!!!

Nice job as always superfly - it looks a beauty. Choice of plane is beyond me though, how b-24 can be justified when so many other countries are un-represented / have glaring omissions. (unless its TOD related but that seems so far off that it cant be?)


its basically just a funny lookin' B-17 at the end of the day.

Furball,

I think that after this long with no additions we are going to have three units that will see heavy use in the MA.  The MA is HTC's bread and butter and the new toys are very important there given that it has been aso long and these will be the flashiest units graphically for some time.

There is also the ToD aspect that you mentioned.

Although I did not advocate the B-24J, I cannot fault them for their choice when I consider all things.

Pyro said as much in one of the first threads after it was introduced.

So we wanted something better to launch ToD. Our choice would be a B-24 or to redo the 17. The 17 is a plane that we are better off redoing from scratch rather than giving it an overhaul. Because we haven't had any new planes in quite awhile, we opted for the new plane

With that in mind it makes sense

thanks for posting that sikboy, as i said i just got back from holiday - and must have missed the reasoning behind it.

Its always better to have more models in game than fewer, so kudos to HTC on their decision.
