finish making AHII first before making WWI.....

A game like AHII might never be "finished".  The subject matter is so huge that to game every aspect of it would take many many programmers decades to model and add graphics for everything.

Branching off makes sense from a business sense.  People like Filth who would like a time frame that is almost exclusively ACM. With all the whining that goes on within this forum about squeakers, tool shedders, etc.  I suspect that a WWI game would not have squeaker or tool shedders.  It would have a more pure ACM environment though.

All that said, someone else's idea of adding biplanes to the EW planeset would be a good launching point. It would add to the WWII planeset/scenarios/EWA and it would give HTC a test ground for biplane modeling within the AH game design.
Suddenly I am think of a Spanish Civil War FSO...  I-16, Early 109, Some bi-planes, HE111

If almost they will give us an arena and two planes (Fokker dr1 and camel F1) it must be great and full of fun.
I hope it will get reallity someday

I would love to see WW1 aircraft added to the plane set and even a WW1 specific arena.
I regret doing business with TD Computer Systems.

You just want to fight a Bf-109 in a Camel, we all know what you're thinking. :)

for the 109 that would be like trying to not overshoot an average Ford Mondeo that can fly and is lighter than most seagulls...

And for the Camel, like trying to catch a GT-500 with a Dodge Omni going uphill. :)

Which Omni?   My buddy in HS had a GLH.   He beats Vettes all weekend long.

If I'd meant anything other than the baseline econobox, I'd have said so. The one my dad had couldn't hit 55 going downhill with a tailwind and your arm out the window.

Video that includes footage of a Spitfire struggling to stay in formation with a Camel.  Some other interesting bits about the Camel as well.  The Spitfire seems so modern and professionally built in comparison.

I think the top speed there is literally hopelessly far below the 190's stall speed...   :D
