What would be the point of HTC wasting 10 or so man hours of adding this to the game?

If they could time it so that the wings would be all the way out and by the time the engine was finished starting....THAT WOULD BE FRICKEN AWESOME! they would need to do the same thing the f4f/fm2 and f6f!!

I just don't see why it would be worth it for HTC to spend these man hours that is strictly cosmestic (on the ground), and does not effect game play, when we still have so many items in need of upgrade.

Between updated aircraft, TOD/CT, new maps, the B-25 and a n00k, do you really think folding wings on a corsair should be at the top of the list?

Nobody said it needed to be at the top. It's a suggestion for eye candy, and as we all know, eye candy never makes it to the top of the list.

telling noobs that it part of the checklist for takeoff, then watching them having a diving contest off the end of CV.

If that is not worth 10 man hours, i don't know what is.
