Let's face it folks...ALL these planes should have been added long ago.  Think back to how many additions have been made in the last 3 or 4 years.  The Jeep, T-34 and the Stuka (oh yeah, and the RV-8).  Although nifty in their own way, it's just not enough.  

I appreciate the effort made to enhance the graphics and the cockpits, but I'd really rather have a full set of WWII aircraft and tanks.  More and different planes and tanks are the one thing that people consistantly ask for on this forum, so much so that "Wish List" has become its own category.  

In my humble opinion it would be better to lessen any further effort on TOD and concentrate on the desires of the customer base.  I've always had the impression that TOD was a pet project rather than something the customers really wanted anyway.  

I've been a confirmed AHII addict now for more than 7 years, but the lack of new aircraft and vehicles is really starting to wear at me, and I'm sure, many of you.  It seems to me that the HiTech crew gambles on that addiction, relying on the players coming back no matter what.  

My apologies if I have inflamed any anger in my fellow players or HiTech for that matter.  I just want some new stuff.

Thanks

You forgot the relatively recent F4U-1A, P-38J, P-38G, Bf 109G-14, Bf 109K-4 (revised 109G-10) Ki-84, B-24, SpitVIII, SpitXVI and the P-47N.

Also, over the 4 year time period you mentioned, they added many other aircraft, such as the FM-2/F4F-4, Bf 110C, Bf 110G, Me 163, P-40B, P-40E, SpitXIV, A-20G and Boston III. There may be more that I have overlooked.

When the F6F gets its graphics update, it's very possible that the F6F-3 will be added being very slightly different than the F6F-5.

We expect all new terrain graphics to be released with the next update. We know that at least one new vehicle will be added.

Despite the major effort focused on CT and graphic updates, I think HTC has done a commendable job at adding new aircraft and new models of existing base aircraft. Let's face it, they have to manage their resources carefully.

My regards,

Unfortunately, that probably IS the basis for many of the votes in the game interface for the B-25.  Ben Affleck wannabes.  Folks that saw the movie "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo".  

Never mind that it is slower than a B-26, with about half the climb rate, and less ord loadout.  And many don't know the differences between the B/C, D, G, H, and J variants.  Some EW, some MW, some LW.  

Can you see a Doolittle Raid senerio?  "You 16 pilots and your gunners will attack Japan on the deck in B-25's and no escorts.  Everyone else plays Japanese and will pretend they don't know your are coming."  Slaughter.  Absolute slaughter.

Why does HTC take long time to add new planes that should have been added long time ago?

[Spongebob]

When it comes down to 1 plane I can't fathom that it will be the B-25. The P-39 will pull out in front on the stretch run.

It's american
It's also Russian
It is a glaring hole in the plane set with 9000+ made
It has a BFG
When the BFG runs out there is still ammo left that can get u a kill
It should compete just fine as most fights are below 10K
My old arse doesn't have to climb into the cockpit, but through a door.
it would be the only plane with a single Hispano if they model the P400
Couldn't do a Guadalcanal scenario without it

I wonder exactly how tough it will be ...F6F tough?

Yak-3 will do in a pinch

Well, if they'd added all the other planes first, we wouldn't have the planes we now have, and we'd be in the same situation. How many planes were flown in the war? I'll bet it's a staggering amount, and I don't believe I've seen a game that was released with every single one of them yet.
