New plane election
« on: March 22, 2007, 12:35:59 PM »
I mentioned in another thread that we would be taking a vote for the next new plane to add.  It will probably be a series of votes(using in-game polling system) to cull it down to 2 entries for a final vote.  Here's a list of commonly requested planes off the top of my head.  This is for new planes only, not variants of existing planes.  I've excluded heavy bombers for now because we don't want that big of a project for the next plane.  Half of this list doesn't have a chance anyway so I can't imagine anything else not on this list having a shot at winning but feel free to state your case anyway.  I still have to figure out how to structure the runoff.

Here's the preliminary list of the candidates.

P-39  

Brewster Buffalo

Me 410

He 111

B-25

Pe-2 or Tu-2

Yak 3

G.55

Japanese fighter - Ki 44, J2M, Ki 45, or Ki 43

A-26

I also have some resources, including drawings, of the inside of the rear fuselage of earlier models. They changed very little behind the cockpit as they were improved.

As posted in another thread:



3 20mm guns, 2 12.7 MGs, 620 km/h at 7.100 m, suited for high altitude combat (remember, CT is coming!), more maneuverable than C. 205 (the N version), evaluated by Luftwaffe as superior to 190 and 109 at high altitude (above 6.000 m)...

What do you want more??? :D

Hub, this is your plane!! ;)

And think about it, gents (and people at HTC): Aces High would be the only game out there that allow people to fly this great plane! Isn't it worth it! :)

1st choise
P-39 some 9500 built.

Served pretty much everywhere. You name a place there was probably a P-39.

Helps fills early early plane set.
Helps fill Russian plane set.

Nice variant selection.

D, Q and P-400 and Russian speced


2nd choice  Early Japanese AC

Obviously just because the set is so lacking.

Pyro, while adding new planes sounds good I would also like to know how the updating of the old models is proceeding. Any news?
