I appreciate the desire to keep people from whining, but really... I don't think that placating idiots is really a high priority on HTC's to-do list.

I see where ted is comin from... sea hurries we need... catalina would be nice...b25 PERKED b29 PERKED forgot about the b26...PERKED. P61 i know it was night fighter but wasn't the 110 the german equivalent to the P61... i would say PERK the 61 cuz it is the "shizz" lol... really really want 61, seahurrie, b25, b26, b29, and to have subs and the catalina whould really make my day. there would be whines so they 25's should be able to take off of carriers but have no turrets and only a small bomb load...that wouldn't be that bad have b25's and doolittle b25 w/ no turrets heavily reduced bomb loads and reduced nose guns. thats all i have to say bout it for now.


oh and the he111 all i know is it was cool lookin but weak i would like it on for more variety. but what bout the german 4 engine maritime bomber??? it could be a PERK plane...

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.


Read the rest of my post. Whines will never go away. Getting the B-25 only changes the whines from "Waaah! I want t3h B-25!" to "Waaaah! Why dont B-25 take off from CV?!?"

Alright, how about the argument that the rest of the Allied and Axis planesets are pretty thin as compared to the American planeset in the game.

If we are going wish they add other bombers, or aircraft in general, why not look to those nation's contributions to WWII, rather than the B-25?  (Admittedly, I pften ask for a perked A-26 Invader.... few bombers, not in game so far, are perk-worthy additions).  Why not the He-177? (....because there will be whines for guided rockets for ord... right....)


As to various repeated calls for the He-111.  Why, because of some resemblence to the Millenium Falcon's cockpit?  It's a good-looking plane, especially compared to the Ju-88 or Lanc, and I'm sure excelled in the Spanish Civil War, but completely outclassed by the time of the Battle of Britain.

With EW arena's low popularity, and the He-111's low comparitive performance by early WWII; asking for the He-111 is like asking for the Vickers Wellesley, the Martin B-10, a Soviet Tupolev ANT-40 (SB), or Polish Cavalry to be added to the game.

We may yet see the He-111..... and outside of SEA arena events, and 3 or 4 buff pilots in the EW arena, it will remain a Hangar Queen.

Why not do this? I mean theres always gonna be whines bout something give it to them...it wouldn't be that good anyways not as many bombs or guns.

P61 still want it really bad it is one of my top 10 fav planes...and i dont see how it could hurt havin it.  Your right bout the 29 everyone wanting a nuke but just give it normal ordanence nukes only used 2 times.

OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i saw a thing on this website  http://www.p-38online.com/ then expirementals. look at the Droopsnoots/Pathfinders really cool!!!! :cool: and the p38 torpedo plane

And how come the P38's in the game dont have the option of 2 2000lbs or 310gal droptanks or 1 2000lbs and a 310 droptank? P38s could carry 2000 pounders and 310 gallon droptanks. Why isn't that in the game? That would make the 38 pilots watermelon their pants...lol

thats all i got for now Good luck everyone
