Maybe I read Pyro's original post, but I thought we were going to be voting for 2 new aircraft.  

If so, can we still get the P39?  Or are we going to go through another torturous round of voting ?

We also have  reports from the Mid-War area that there were reports of hanging chads on some of the ballots.
Less than one percent difference equals statistically no difference - a tie!  

Since they were in a statistical tie, I believe that HTC could head off the inevitable lawsuits that are coming regarding the prejudiced voting practices, faulty ballot equipment, etc., by announcing that we will get both the P-39 and the B-25.
In addition, by way of compensatory damages, he should give the Finns the Brewster Buffalo that they have lobbied so long and hard for.:aok

ACES high.  Bombers low.

What's the confusion?

If that number is actually something you're interested in just check the score pages, they'll show how many people recorded at least one sortie in each of the 5 categories if you do it "right". Of course again, that is just for one tour and you have no idea how many folks pay that will go 30 dyas or more without loggin in. I know I have in the past.

EDIT: four categories...duh!

Simply a reflection of the changing demographics of the game. The fact that a bomber won a popular vote is a sad statement of the overall direction of the game.

Pyro,

I completely agree with the above. The voting was extremely close. What would we as subscribers that want to see the Iron Dog have to do to get it into 2.11?
