- this is going off on the wrong foot. The reason I posted these articles is , number 1 - they're are good reading for the aviation historian. 2 - also out of print - 3 - as other options instead of more 38s, p47s, ju87s... ect..
Honestly, I would like to see more pre/early war planes in here. Heck even a ms406, Polikarpov i-153, Arsenal VG-33, Fairey Firefly and Barracuda, maybe a Halifax , RE2001.. even a p36 Hawk.
Yes, I would love to see more early birds in here...and some of the lesser know birds that were fighting before the US joined the War and before we were sending over p51's.
If there is an official ok from the publisher, i will post more of these out of print articles for discussion / information purposes only.
It was a great read. My point in cautioning you is that there have been other BBS's threatened with legal action and boards closed as a result of posting copyrighted material with out permission.
Second suppose another fellow comes along and sees this (which you may or may not have permission to post in full) and decides to scan some of his books, then some one else does. It opens the door for all sorts of issues. That's why I made my post in both your Hs-129 thread and the Mig 3 thread so others would see it.
I would like all ww2 era planes to be modeled but we need to be serious. Understanding that it has taken 4 years to get where AH is today I think there are more 'important' or more 'needed' aircraft then say a p36 Hawk.
With ToD on the way the current holes in the plane set will get more attention as HT tries to put together theaters .If HT’s goal is to attract a new type of customer toward ToD then we need to understand that folks who are more inclined to this type of game structure aren’t going to hang around very long if every theater is some make believe set up using incorrect planes from various eras.
An early 38, even though I will never fly it, makes more sense in terms of what it adds to ToD and to events and the CT. As I said just look what the CT has to do to run a '43 setup. It needs to use all '44 US planes.
So I am not saying never model the Hs-129, hell I would fly it, but I just think there are large holes in the plane set that have a direct impact on the type of game play we all want from ToD and events and in the CT.
I was not crapping on you suggestion just to start a flame war. I just wanted to show that even though some planes maybe boring (another 38 for 1) we still need it far more then a plane like the Hs-129.
YMMV
