Early war planes?
« on: February 22, 2001, 08:20:00 PM »
It's nice to find an evolving game, but I was surprised at the rather odd selections for planes expansions in 1.06. Arado? Ta152? Aren't there more deserving aircraft for scenario use that could have been produced?

A personal wishlist: He111, Bf110 and 109e - and the most glaring omission - the Hurricane. Fancy having a plane-set which can't support a Battle of Britain event!

Enough of this late war iron already! Let's have some machinery which rewards good gunnery and ACM - not just raw firepower and horsepower!

Fire up Napster. Do a search for the artist Metallica and the song So What.
Download and Listen to it, come back when you're done.

Metallica is _THE_ best. I don't really like the albums after the Black Album(Metallica). Garage, Inc is a good compilation though. I also like Megadeth well Megadeth's OLDER stuff anyway.

I'm a real metal head. ;-)

Dont worry Fidd.
More planes will be added eventually, HTC is trying to fill the gap that other companies have created. Remember, this is a very young game, you will see all the planes you want in a few months, it will be worth it.

I wholeheartedly agree with you Fidd!

I just finished reading Duel of Eagles by Peter Townsend, and the more I read, the more I wanted to log on and fly a Hurricane.

Hardly an early war plane.  But a beauty!

I flew BoB event in WB, you guys dont know what you all missed!!!, but to be honest if AH had the early plane set, then a BoB event in here would of looked and maybe played better.

What suprises me is that our "Yankie" Friends cant even play Pearl Harbour or any of the early to mid pacific stuff, if they could represent that they would bring in many more players.

Thanks Animal, I can see that HTC are so doing, but woul it not be more logical to add these "non-mainstream" planes (Ta152/Ar234 etc) *after* the set is fleshed out adequatly? I fully agree with the poster decrying about the Yanks not being able to refight Pearl. Very very odd imho. I am new here, (to AH) from AW; but there scenarios and historical refights kept people in the game LONG after it started to become dated technically; and that is mostly a testament to the massive planeset.. It seems to me to be shortsighted not to improve this situation but rather to add oddities merely to be able to "headline" that AH now has the <insert low use WW2 oddity here>..... This is an empty marketing gesture without having a sensible plane-set to start with.
