As long as Aces High has been going, have we ever gotten to vote for the next plane?  I don't remember that happening since I've been here (2001).  Do we really have to complain about this one vote where the majority of Hitech's customers get to have some meaningful input in the design process?  With EVERY other plane, they've made the decision for us...

And really, at this point, who even cares what we get next??  We have so many planes now that any more're just gravy.  I know that we have holes in the lineup, but guess what, any of the planes in this list'll go towards plugging those holes...  yes, even the p39/b25/a26/yak3...  they were all in the war just as much as your favorite plane was.

Finally, if you can just make it through this trying democratic process, and I know it'll be hard, just remember that they'll GO BACK to deciding which plane is in your best interests from here on out.  


ps. I know WWII airplanes and I'm still voting for the p39...  
:D

If all the two week trial players in the Help Channel asking:   "How do I fly?"  "How I go fast?"  "What is best plane?"  or giving tactical information away about their country in the Help Channel because they can't operate the radio in game  are also getting the vote?

Apparently I'm losing my memory... :)   I still think we should get a little punch and pie every now and then.
