HE 111

the German Do 217M-1, it was successful and was faster than the Ju88 and carried more bombs.
About 1900 built, not as strong numbers as the Ju88 but still more than some twin prop bomber aircraft.
Although the He 111 could be successful and it looks nice and sleek.

That's all well and good for scenario use, but is it a viable MA bird?

Which is the priority?

If I'm a buff driver in the MA, which am I gonna take. A medium bomber with a single popgun on top for defense or a Medium or heavy with turrets mounting heavy caliber machine guns.

As a fighter driver, in particular in a late war cannon bird, all you are going to see is lunch when you see a 111.

Don't get me wrong. I'm much more oriented to scenario or early war birds. I'd love to see all those early war birds including the 111. I don't like flying the latest and greatest. but from HTC's perspective which is the best investment of their resources?

...always da money....always da money. Can't knock it too hard. we're all here. Great Game.

If you ask me, it's not the planes or the setup that kills the AvA, it's the attitude.

Im thinking Scenarios SnapShots FSO etc which a large part of the community are apart of and where the more long time player base comes from. IMOP. Again it depends on HTC view on things I cant try and read his mind.

We have a winner.

Actually, when the arenas were first segregated into EW, MW and LW, I thought there would be new impetus for filling out the plane set (realistically, the 1945 operational plane set is already pretty complete except for some rare birds). But then HTC shuffled all the EW and MW planes back into the LW arenas, and we were back to where we started.

The second excellent point people have raised is that there just weren't that many widely-used Axis rides that aren't already represented. This is most obvious in PAC - sure, there were Tojos and some others, but the fact is that we've already got what the Japanese used for most of the war (except for the Oscar).

Russian planes are the ones that are genuinely underrepresented, I think, and it would be nice to see some of them.

Later model of the Ki84

a Ki whatever twin heavy fighter

and that would be about five years worth of code I guess so probably will never happen.

Ki-45. Add the Ki-43,44,and 100 while we are at this.

Just how in the hell do you think the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Ouch. Darn me for taking the time to actually red the thread to get my reply in

Stampf · « **Reply #29 on:** July 25, 2007, 04:48:34 PM »

Its ok Golfer, he was right. They weren't Axis, Dem der were Japaneese.
