Had a chance to see the only restored one (that I know of) while visiting the Air Force Museum in Dayton

B-25 would be a great addition to the plane set, however the Blackwidow wouldn't be.

It would be used in AH in a role that it was not intended for.  Sure, the Blackwidow flew a limited number of day sorties but it was primarily a night attack/fighter.  But in AH with it's lack of night, it would never be used in that role.

And Heavy bombers flew a limited number of low level missions, and even fewer dive bombing missions but was primarily a high alt level bomber.

110s were primarily an attack plane and not a dog fighter.

C47s rarely willingly had troops bailing out of them while the plane was going verticle...or upside down

How planes were used and how they are used in the MA doesnt seem to be a prerequisite to them being included here.

That they were used does.

And Im all for bringing back the night. But those who refuse to beleive their monitors are set up incorrectly dont want it

Have you ever put two computers on your desk side by side with AH running with "night" turned on?  There's a huge difference between some FEs and I was shocked the first time I did it.  On my new machine with an LCD monitor I actually have to turn the gamma down to make it look like night but on my old P3 machine, night is a totally black screen.  I don't mean dark, I mean black.  Until you've seen the difference you'll never understand why people upped the gamma and that even then, it was probably still darker then what you were seeing.

 

Same monitor used on both machines?

If on the old machine you were using its old monitor. You would have to turnt eh gamma up because of wear and tear on the monitor over the years.

I know there was a world of difference looking at my new monitor compaired to my old one

Now if you used the same monitor on both machines you probably had each machines graphic card settings set up differently for the monitors you used

I've seen the night. and in particularly the new night as its been redone.
if your monitor is set up correctly. seeing at Night should not be an issue

YYYYYYYEP!  That's the one.
A real Beauty isn't she??

*lusting moan*
I was out looking around and find that I stand corrected.  She (Moonlight Serenade) isn't the only one.  There are actually 3 statics and there's a group is actually  RESTORING one to flight.
