By THAT bit of logic:

16  Bell P-39 Airacobra/P-63 Kingcobra 12,897 built, USA, Russia  Single-engined fighter & fighter-bomber
19  Vultee BT-17/19 Valiant 11,525 built, USA Single-engined trainer
20  Petlyakov Pe-2 11,427 built, USSR Twin-engined light bomber
22  Vickers Wellington 11,302 built, Great Britain Twin-engined strategic bomber & patrol aircraft
24  Avro Anson 10,302 built, Great Britain, Canada Twin-engined trainer & light transport

27  North American B-25 Mitchell 9,816 built, USA Twin-engined medium bomber

Settled then, the P-39 deserves it the mostest, the Pe-2 comes in at a close second mostest deserving.  The Vickers Wellington deserves to be ON the list most-er than the Mitchell.  Heck, so do some trainer planes.


It's a game.  It's a popular vote.  The B-25 is simply between the B-26 and B-24.  The Brewster Buffalo is one wing away from being a Stearman trainer.  Definiately other planes on the list that would be more FUN that either of these choices.

This is certainly not any kind of an offensive against all-american plane fans...
This is just an honest "thinkabout" concerning the scenarios and arenas in AH.

Please, ask Yourself quite honest...What is the added value, that another 2-engined american attack-bomber could bring to this game?
Donīt we have A20? Donīt we have P-38? Donīt we have B-26? And many of them in different versions, even...

A-26 was a "Ferrari of light bombers of itīs era.." but....it appeared very late.

Wouldnīt it be nice to see some new faces? Wouldnīt it be nice to extend the understanding of European arenas of WWII in those years which USA didnīt participate yet?

Adoring the last 2-3 years only of WWII doesnīt make justice to the military avation of the world at those days...

Notice "used more by WAY more people involved in war.".

Therefore, the bombers are multicrewed = more people!

The Anson was a flying classroom, and trained a huge number of people.

Doesn't do all those other plane justice, but it DOES recognize that 9/10ths of all logged in players hang out in the two LW arenas.

It recognizes that the majority of pilots gravitate toward the ENY 5 planes in those LW arenas.

And forum discussions probably will be moot, since it is a popular vote in the game interface with no plane details offered to players that are not familiar with those planes being listed.  It will come down to a popular vote based on name recognition.

Do we need to tell people not to vote for a certain plane?  I mean, if you want a certain plane I can see you posting its merits... But it seems we have entered the area of, "I won't fly it... so nobody should be able to."

I voted for the Brewster because it's the plane I would most like to see.

So many folks rushing to correct him, I guess.


EDIT: That's not a dig, that's an honest guess as to why.
