Author Topic: Wish for War PLanes from al Participating Countries that were involved (Read 1466 times)

I was going through the list of plane types for the individual countrys represented in aces High

I would greatly appreciate the idea of HTC offering plane types from some of the countries that participated in the War, yet do not have a plane in the game:

ie....

France
Finland
Australia among other countrys involved, and countrys that have 1 or 2 planes if any......

and any new additions should include planes from these countrys and not from countrys that already have a multitude of plane types representing a specific country already..........

as for plane type variants ( case in point ---> F6F series ) we should be able to easily add the F6f-3 variant and possible variants of other birds. I do not know if this would be that much more time consuming or not.....but I prefer to at least add some significant countrys plane types to the game that are not included at this time. so people from them countrys get their share of having a part in a historical war that involved the whole world...not just so called super powers......

all thoughts, comments, suggestions welcomed!

please add plane types, and add any countrys that I may have left out , regardless if they flew lend lease planes or not.......

Thank you for all HTC does for us, to have this wonderful game to play

I think that were the use of skins somes into play. You can put British markings on your f6f. Or American markings on your spit. The A20-G has a russian skin.

Not sure if i entirely get what your saying unless you mean adding planes like Iar-80 (romania) or Ms. 406 (france). I think itd be pretty cool to see some smaller countries planes. (BREWSTER BUFFALO)

some of the most heroic and devastating battles of WW2 were fought by British and French troops long before the yanks finally waltz over and claim 'victory'.

the french deserve a plane or two, imo.

Germany's army was more than a match for anyone else's in 1940, including that of the USA. France, like most of Europe, was just in the unhappy position of not having a nice wide stretch of water to protect them from it. That's not to say the Allies couldn't have done a lot better in France with a more competent high command but they would have probably lost in the end whatever happened.

The problem with introducing planes like these is they would usually have a very limited scenario potential. The French planes would do OK in the EW MA (Hispanos) but how many fly in there? Seems like it would be a lot of effort for very little return from HTC's point of view.

The French had the best tanks at the start of the war. Just inept leadership misused the tanks to full potential.

The D.520 was a great plane, the Luftwaffe used it as a trainer because they liked it.

Australia's only indigenous plane which saw active service was the Boomerang, which served in a number of squadrons. Around 200+ IIRC

Everything else was Lend lease, or made under Licence

The French tanks were better on paper than in real life. They had excellent armour but were very slow and had lousy range. The main problem though was the crew layout. There was only one guy in the turret, who had to load and fire the gun as well as commanding the tank. Most French tanks had no radios either. The best tank in France was the British Matilda Mk II but only a handful were available.

Its a mistake to focus on weapons though. The German army was the best in 1940 because of its better training, leadership, tactics and coordination with the air force.

It might be of interest to those of your ilk that not one French unit in WWII broke and ran. Not one.

They same cannot be said of American units.

The French fought very hard and very bravely. They were defeated at higher levels than that.

I hope they add the Hawk 75, DB-7...that would flesh out some of
France's airfleet and still make you US hater's heads pop off. Win-Win

Heck, you could add variants of the Curtiss and make em Chinese and
American too!

The Buffalo would be nice for the Finns and Brits as well...too bad Brewster
was a US company, but what you gonna do?
