we need the b25 any model dont care but we need it...p61 love it dont know much bout it so it would be cool...b29 with out the option of the atom bombs that wouldn't work out but just the usual ords it should be perked.

also think we should have some of the other navy planes like the sea hurrie, the buffalo, the float planes...they would be cool to launch off of ports and cruisers, the pby 5 A would be nice, and the m4 sherman should be added i know they suck but there arent any american tanks there were many different models of the sherman. i would really like to have it and so would some others.

Thank you for your time to read this and hopfully taken it in to concideration. all of you who read this topic.

Do 217 Do 217 Do 217
(He 111 is just another early war deathtrap, we already have the Ju 88 for that

Ye Gawds! Not again!

B25.... won't see it because boards will be filled with carrier-launched B-25 threads.

B29... won't see it because the boards will be filled with "I wanna nook" threads.

P61... won't see it. P-61 designed as a night fighter/bomber, and excelled at that. We don't see much in the way of night fights outside of the very rare SEA event, and P61 players would be dissapointed when the P-61 fails to shine in daylight war arenas, and does not get any radar advantage in-plane. Or the Night Binoculars modeled in-game. More than half were not equipped with the dorsal turrent (production priority went to B-29's, and the turrent caused buffetting on the P61 airframe anyways), so do you get one with or w/o turrent?

He-111.... doubt it. The He-111 was outdated by 1941. Early war bomber. Limted use in SEA arena..... EW and MW arenas not popular enough now to justify it's development. The He-111 might be the "best looking" bomber Germans had... but it just does not have the performance.

Judy.... yep... I'd buy that fer a dollar! Yokosuka D4Y. Nice since it was based on the Heinkel He 118 dive bombers, so you almost get a two-fer-one deal. (Preferably late model ones without wing spar structural problems....) ... and no, not the night fighter version.... that was pretty ineffective.

A-26 Invader is the perked buff I ask for the most. Medium bomber with good performance and great gun package.

Couldnt disagree more. Lack of turnout in early and midwar is EXACTLY why we need He-111s! All thats available are Ju-88s and Lancasters. Lancasters are perked. Ju-88s are all thats left. Give us the Heinkel and people might actually start caring about the other two arenas.

Definately need the B-25, we really need some variety.

P-61... maybe.

Sea Hurricane... DEFINATELY. Corsairs arent that fun for me, neither are the 'cats. That just leaves Seafires. I really want a Sea Hurricane, especially an early model for early war arena.

Id rather a Catalina than a Martin Mariner, but hey, to each his own.

Never happen.

Players are not avoiding the EW and MW arenas because of the selection of BUFFS they find there. Most players fly fighters, almost exclusively. The rest go where the numbers are --- why I fly LW, that's where the crowd is to fight.... I'd just as soon fly EW or MW, but very few folks there.

And most pilots want to fly what they consider the fastest, bestest, mostest uberest planes they can... hence all the Spit 16's, La-7's, Niki's, Pony-D's, and so forth in LW (those plane's K/D ratios are pretty sad compared to their overuse though...).

You go through all the numbers, you'll find a lot of players that very rarely fly bombers or even attack planes, compared to the time they spend in fighters.

The He-111 won't do anything for EW or MW numbers. At best, you could see it in SEA events. Nothing more. I'll still grant, the He-111 was one of the best looking bombers in WWII..... it's performance just did not match other planes, and was easily outdated by 1941

Now, IF HT was going on a binge to add several planes to each countries' planeset, I'd vote for the He-111..... and the Betty for that matter..... but considering how few and far between new planes come out for this game, and considering that buff dirvers have nothing other than the Ar234 to spend perk points on, I'll not argue for something that was at it's best during the Spanish Civil War.

I'll vote for the A-26 Invader and call long and loud for it. Or maybe the He-177. More more drones. Or overloaded bombloads. Or Long Tom.. Anything worth spending buff perks on.

i disagree.

i think the reason that people dont fly the EW or MW is because of the plane selection i am with serenity on this one. i would love to see the HE111 ok go ahead and only put it in the EW or MW how cares people would fly there more to get this plane.

ok the sea hurri i would love to see because it is just like a seafire just better guns and stuff. Cats get boring because they run out of gas fast. Sea's are boring because they run out of ammo fast. Give us something we will like.

P61 i can not comment about i have no clue what it was all i know was it was a night fighter not a day fighter.

i would also like to see some different airplanes like the Jap two seated Bomber. i forgot what it was called but i will find that out for us. i want to say it was the Dougas, or Dougal.

dunno but i will find that out for yall to look into.

I dont see why! I understand the B 25 not being added because of the whines for Carrier lifting, but what does the 111 have that will cause whines?

Reynolds · « **Reply #13 on:** December 29, 2006, 06:01:15 PM »

WELL, the whines can be avoided by giving us a later model B-25, thats too heavy to launch from a carrier. Then just PnG anyone who asks for carrier launches! lol. We will always have wines for SOMETHING, so long as we allow people on their two-week trials to post here. There will always be kids who refuse to give the game as-is a chance and immidiatley come here begging for "teh ub3rness" to be added and assuming that just because they asked for it it will be added the next day. They should add the B-25 because of its tactical value, as well as its historical and asthetic value, because until they add it, we will wine for it. Is that any worse than whining for it too take off from a CV?

And yes, ADD THE HEINKEL!!!

No, wrong. If a, any, B25 is in the game, despite what model, or how heavy, the boards will have many posts calling for a CV-launched B-25.

Never mind those were early models that lifted from the Hornet. No matter Doolittle's Raiders were stripped down planes with light bomb loads. It will never end. HT are not going out of their way to create more headaches for themsleves that easily.

Myself, outside of wanting the addition of the A-26 Invader as a perked buff (buff drivers need *something* other than Ar234 to spent points on after all!), I'd much rather see additonal planes come from the Japanese, Russian, and German air forces. The U.S. plane set is pretty big already. The British a close second. Germans could use more bombers. Russians could use A medium to heavy bomber. Japanese set could use some help as well.
