B-25 & P-39
« on: April 10, 2007, 07:27:17 AM »
As we all know, the vote was insanely close between the P-39 and the B-25.

My question is, are the guys at HTC going to model both for the patch release after next ?

I noted that HTC said they wanted a small job, but we can all dream, right ?

Well, it is a balancing act between updating old planes and adding new ones. So as far as I understand they just wanted to do one plane now and continue updating the old ones. If it would have been up to me (which it obviously isn't) I wouldn't have included any twins (Just looking at the different stations I think it takes twice the work load to complete a twin like the B-25 compared to a single engine fighter) to the vote and would have done at least three most popular single engine fighters and then continued updating the old ones.

Good point there.

Yeah, I think the closeness of the final vote would justify doing both if they felt so inclined. I know I'd be happy to see both, they could both be fun to figure out.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

heck, couldnt we make do with 2 x B-25 models instead of 3, and get a P-39 too? :)
