I know there are a lot of people right now bagging on the B25, but IMHO it could be a very useful and fun plane, not only in the MA, but since it was widely used in WWII, in the other squad stuff and scenarios...  Depending on the configurations offered by the game, could be pretty awesome.

B25 was used by Russia, US, UK(and Polish), RAAF(and Netherlands in exile), RCAF, China, France.

Darn..... I hate being right all the time. I predicted 3 out of 4 of the cut.


 Since when does 75% equal right all the time?

Well, from a political point of view, 51% seems to be a "Clear Mandate" and "Overwhelming Majority"

Geez, 75% is pretty much Perfect against those numbers :D

I was hedging back and forth between the Yak-3 or Japanese planes getting cut.  What I fear I was *right* about more than anything is that the majority of players are voting for whatever plane name they recognize from a movie or book, rather than based on any true knowledge about the different planes on the list themselves.  

B-25 = Doolittle Raids.
He-111 = Battle of Britain

Guessing those two had the highest vote count in the game poll, but both of those planes showed middle numbers in the informal forum poll.  But, we aren't going to see those numbers.

Starting to think the P-39 may not even make final 4.

Me 410 ... German ... high number = Late war überness in most people's mind. Perhaps they even think it's a jet. Who among the pleebs knows what a P-39 or Yak-3 is? It sure aint' no P-47 Mustang!

I don't have anything against it, I would surely fly it. But some people think we have some gaping holes in our planeset. Another american bomber will not fill the biggest one ;)
(This is also the reason why I am against the addition of the He111. If another german bomber is to be added at all, it' s a mid/late war one, which doesn' t only fits for scenarios but also has a better chance to survive in the MA )

What did you have in mind?  the HE-177? JU-290 or FW-200?
