that we come down to having to vote on two planes that didn't travel with HiTech from his old WarBirds. I was hoping for something more original. Off to cast my last vote.

Here's a thought. Maybe since HTC gave us the plane list to vote on, they are planning to do them all, and are just using the vote to determine what order to do them in.

Just trying to think outside the box here. Who knows, maybe we'll get an update every other month for the next year with a new plane from the list until they are all done. Then we might get to vote again on anouther list.

Just from reading some of the other threads, some people are acting like they'll never see the plane they wanted because it didn't get enough votes. Considering HiTech and crew put that list together, I'm sure they sat down and had a meeting to discuss the projects they would like to work on and put in the game. I doubt those projects will go away, but they are using the vote to determine what to work on first.

Try to keep an open mind.

Some of these guys in here act worse than my five year old son does when he doesn't get his way. Sheesh it was a vote..your plane didn't make it..get over it. I am growing tired of seeing the "Well the Yak, A26, G55 is out of the race so I am not going to vote anymore" crap. That is basically saying "If you are not going to play the game I want then I am going to take my toys and go home." Assumed grown men acting like children because they did not get what they want. That is what is pathetic.

Edit: Your right Puck. So I added "assumed" to sentence.

I think most of the people here are frustrated because they don't want to see an aircraft dedicated to arena's that never have more than 50-60 people in them at one time.

Why not? I say to those people, expand your horizons and try flying the EW/MW planes. Anyone can land kills in the LW uber rides, but it takes skill to land kills in the EW/MW rides in the LW arenas, but never the less the majority has spoken and we will have a plane that can fill the roles in ALL the arenas.

"NO UBER RIDE FOR YOU!!!!"

Yes that makes perfect business sense. Let's pick an aircraft to satisfy 10% of our gaming public. Never mind the other 90%. Let's just all fly EW planes. I have flown in the EW once. I spent the night defending a VH by myself in a P-38G I think I got shot down once. And killed the other guys 10-12 times. Really, really, tough arena.

come on guys..

I see a company that is trying to provide a quality product. At least they asked out opinions on what to add.

Frankly I really don't care what gets added. I would have liked to see the Finns get their plan added just because they aren't represented. I personally would like to fly the B25 but in the big scheme who really cares?

I'm not a shill for HTC but at least they seem to attempt to care about what the membership wants.

Keep in mind that no matter what they end up doing 50 to 60 percent of the people will not be satisfied.

My bet is that eventually they'll have all the planes on the list available in different arenas.

15 bucks a month for people that actually seem to be trying to put a quality product out there for their members is a drop in the bucket to most of our budgets.

Lets be patient and happy that they asked instead of dictated like so many other sites just say eff you we're doing what we want to do regardless of what you want.

Just my opinion but sheesh.

What does business sense have to do with this? The gaming public as you call it have voted for these aircraft. Seeing as how 2 EW/MW planes have made it to the final round of voting, obviously more than 10% of the player base wants them.

Seems to me that maybe you have your stats backwards, in that 90% want them and you belong to the 10% that doesn't. Also no one is telling you to only fly in the EW arena. If that's not you cup of tea don't go there. If you don't want to fly EW planes then don't. If you don't like the new plane that comes to the game don't fly it. No one's forcing you to, but you come acros in your post that because the rest of us DO want to fly them that we're somehow messing up the game for you because your not getting what you want.

Well that's called Democracy. You know, majority rule, power of the vote and all that good stuff.

O'well, the masses have spoken, glad I've voted for the B-25 EVERY time. At least I know my vote has counted for something.

What planes did you vote for, or did you quit voting when the uber rides where cut?

LePaul · « **Reply #12 on:** April 07, 2007, 12:55:42 AM »

I see us adding another plane into a game with a severely broken strat system. Still.

>shrug<

Enjoy your new plane

cav58d · « **Reply #13 on:** April 07, 2007, 01:04:42 AM »

Whether we get the B-25, or the aerocobra, people will fly them like mad for the first month...Just like the spit 16....unlike the spit 16 though, neither of these airframes can compete against the current set of LW fighters...."but it's the "pilot" not the airplane"....TRUE. How many awesome sticks do we have though?

I'm calling it now. 12 months from now, the B-25 will be in a race for more sorties flown with the KI-67, or the P-39 will be head to head with ...........

ehhhh. nevermind. why the hell do i even care lmao

Yes they did. And the whines came forth. They also imposed other conditions on the game, and the whines came forth. Proof that you cannot please everyone, anytime, anywhere.
