after P-51/P-47 restoration... who should be next?
« on: June 12, 2005, 12:48:59 AM »
WHO SHOULD BE NEXT FOR RESTORATION?

1. Spitfires 1-14 and Hurricanes
2. 109s E to G?
3. Lavochkins and Yaks?
4. Ugly bellybutton blue jays? (F4Us/F6Fs/F4Fs)
5. A6Ms?

:)

LOL 1K3, I see you're from vegas, do you take bets?? I only ask b/c you always have a poll/question about something. It doesn't bother me mind you, I just saw that and thought it was funny:p

Oh and I'd go with the blue ones.

109s shouldn't be near the top of that list.
The next planes should be whichever need it for TOD.
I'd like the 152 to be redone.

nah, TK is right, the 109s need to be done for TOD.  The 1st setup is 8th AF v LW, it's only logical to have the 109s done asap.   After the 109s are done and TOD is underway then HTC will have to decide to which theatre is next  and redoing the relevent a/c.

My worst fear would be changing to a theatre without the RAF.  I'm not particularly interested in setups without the RAF but i can understand if HTC switches their attention to the pacific to make TOD more diverse.

I will be flying the LW when TOD is released.:D

The 109s were just redone.
Besides the texture reformat to AH2 std's, I don't see the point in adding just a few polygons to put them on-par with the usual uptrend in model accuracy... it'd be something like a barely rounder engine housing, antenna wires, small stuff like that.

TrueKill, following your logic, every other plane taking part in TOD's first theater that's not been updated since the last 109 update should have priority. Nevermind those that, as you say, were also used thru-out the war.
Those that were used throughout the war but aren't part of the first TOD theatre will have to wait.

Look at the Spits, or, TOD considerations aside, the La5.  It's like someone took a piece of wood and carved a few dozen faces off.

I'd haveto agree with this.
Actually I dont think they have to make them larger. Just a bit brighter

Which war?

The real one that started in 1939, or the one that most people think started in 1941?

Won't see me in TOD until the RAF arrives.
