Dear HiTech,
« on: April 27, 2008, 07:26:39 PM »
 In the past, you have said it is one of your goals to add every aircraft that flew in WWII, into the game. What happens after that? No, I don't want WWI, or Korea. Maybe you will have added Combat Tour by then, maybe there will be a dramatic surge in players. Who knows?

 HiTech, what happens next?  :confused: Will you improve the graphics drastically, to near real-life quality? Will there be 100% realistic weather? Animated water? Amazing lighting affects? Shock-wave affects for ground and water?

What happens next, is the same thing that has happened for years. They'll do something, and people will squeak about it being wrong/stupid/shortsighted/insufficient. Rinse, repeat.

Having said that, Korea might be pretty badass.

If a Korean War version comes out that would mean finally having to make the B29, so it will never happen.

Aside from that it would also have a pretty sparse planeset compared to WWII.  Obviously the attraction would be mass jet vs. jet combat but that might prove to be more of a novelty in the long run and turn more into all the jets BnZing all the poor P51s, F4Us, and F80s.  Basically what we have now, just fewer planes to choose from.  But if a Korean War arena did appear one day, I would sure as hell give it a shot.

I don't know why you would say that. HiTech has NEVER said the B-29 will not be added. In fact he told me just the opposite at the 2006 con when I had a chance to speak with him. It might be one of the last planes added but he said he wants it in the game at some point.

a graphics update is probably the farthest from reality,  what kind of insanity would lead to the decision to update the game with graphics that are even comparable to average circa 2003, much less anything remotely current..
