F-86 & Mig-15

Would rather see WWII Ground wars (soldiers, garands, mausers, flame throwers ) then we would pretty much have a full on war on our hands 

i'd like to see this too inside of towns and cities etc... It could be a very large expansion for the game

Korean war aircraft? NO

[Latrobe]

Rather than adding more late war planes, lets go back to 1939-41. Swordfish anyone!??
 

Oh ya, and IN!

Korean war aircraft? NO

The old Air Warrior game had a Korean War Era dogfight arena... this would bring it back to then. +1 Korea but after WWII is game set match

Amazing that even after 4 years some people just can't grasp the idea of World War Two...high school history must have been skipped.

[Flayed]

  And after this they will want modern jets and such with auto target locking missiles and on and on yuck.  It would just use up resources that would better be spent on filling out all of the missing planes we don't have in WW2 yet.   So for me it's a -1

Korean Arena result =  World War i arena result/AvA result.

Again this is not a WW2 Game , but a game that has WW2  planes,and WW1 planes as well mind you. And the Main Arenas have absolutely nothing to do with historical  authenticity.
If you read the first page, its well implied that these planes didn't participate during WW2 as their technology was "borrowed" from Me262s and other German projects after the war refined and improved, etc.



Just make a smaller arena 50 max players all aircraft from WW1 to Korean Era.

Perk the latter heavily, 3 times as much as the 262s. On a trial basis if it doesn't have a commendable amount of participants just scratch it completely.


What do I know I'm sure there are droves of people around the world wanting to participate in an online  air war type massive multiplayer game as it has a large market share ,why would anyone want to expand the user base, right?

please explain this further

[Ack-Ack]

please explain this further

don't really think it needs to be explained further as Glasses is correct, the main arenas has nothing to do with historical accuracy.  As far as I know, there weren't any countries named Knights, Bishops or Rooks fighting in World War II.

Obviously you don't know much...the overall player base is limited to enthusiasts of different ilks and most who are avid in the WWI and WWII arenas are purists...tossing aircraft from the 50s into the mix goes outside those bounds and it's usually squeakers asking for such nonsense to be introduced without any consideration as to the time, expense and ramifications of such things.

You're wanting a small staff with limited resources to cover the history of flight from Kitty Hawk to Iraq to satisfy some inner need to say "oooh cool"...has nothing to do with consideration for HTC's business model, practices or monetary gain.
