I don't think we need it. But it's what the AcesHigh players wanted and so far HTC has gone down the list. First the B25 now the P39. If i could bet the A26 would be the next plane choice. I like the yak 3 it's a nice plane.

Keep in mind that the B25 and the P39 were very close in votes... perhaps that's why HTC did the 39 next? Besides, the updated planes, SDKFZ 251 and WW weren't even in the vote.

thats why i think the 39 was added, as for the other two i figure they knew GV guys would want some new toys. could make the 251 as a new gv and the WW was already halfway there in the Osti. plus they help fill CT vehicles needed.

No, votes are ok once in a while, but only votes equals only US aircraft added.

Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

I FORGOT THE PBY CATALINA

Now, about the A-26:
373mph @ sea level
8x nose mounted 0.5-in guns (originally 6 in the nose, but this was changed)
remote controlled dorsal and ventral turrets, each with 2x 0.5-in guns
up to 10x 0.5-in guns in underwing and fuselage packs
up to 4,000 of bombs
able to do 355mph @ 15,000 feet

Now, I really don't know, why I love this plane, but I do.

Lieutenant-Colonel Cliffort Erly speaking about the Invader:
"Once rid of the bombs it was a real fighter, not only were we almost as fast as any fighter, we were almost as manoeuvrable.  We had studies showing that at some altitudes under some conditions, we could turn inside a Bf 109.  I never heard of a fighter successfully engaging an A-26 because we had the choice.  We could run away from him in the straight-away or we could turn and fight..."

Whatever they put in is fine for me but how about working all the bugs out next time around before introducing anything. Since the last patch ,

I lose vox

have runaway engine on 2 engine aircraft

lose look up hat control on joystick in GV mode

frame rate of 3-10

I have shut down all background programs, defraged and reloadder the game with no change and no I'm not on dial up either.

Please computer geeks do not reply to this with your mind numbing solutions, these problems are being experianced by many and they are all the same problems that I have so something has to be going on at HT headquarters. I do realize that some people are not having any trouble but every patch for me has the same out come. This last patch being the worst so far in 3 years. For us that aren't computer gods this is very frustrating.
