One thing's for sure, WWI planes are ugly as hell. They should be asking, do you like WWII Air Combat the best? Then they'll realize people playing this game do........................... ...................

Gotha bombers, Sopwith Camels, TriPlanes, SE5, even the Eindecker.  I am all in favor of it.

I wouldn't mind seeing something like this, but I don't see it being much of a success unless they can add a large number of planes in a short period of time.  If there is only 3 to 5 planes to choose from it would get stale pretty quick.  I doubt it wouldn't be any more popular than the EW arena is.  HTC only has a few developers on hand to do anything I would rather they work on some of the things Pyro mentioned in development update.

Nope.  WW2.  Maybe a Korean theatre if anything. 

But no WW1.

I love World War I, that's why I have "Over Flanders Fields". They have online multiplayer games hosted regularly,  and they just came out with Phase III. I'd order it tonight, but I'm having to hold my money, my dog needs surgery. They're already working on Phase IV, by the way.

I'd be pretty unhappy if they've dropped CT, and are looking at doing World War I stuff. One of the main reasons I was hanging around is, or was, CT.

"would"?... "if they dropped"? Don't tell me you didn't notice CT actually has been dropped (or better: been put on hold indefenitely)?  :huh

I think he means diverging to WWI after CT imploded, rather than giving AHII as much attention as it used to before CT, for a couple of months at least.

Personally, I'd like to see a minimum of a WWII plane a month added for the next year.
Then if they want to do WWI, or Korea, sure, give it a shot.

But if past history is anything to go by, they'll do it THEIR way. Which is cool.

Rock on HTC.

I've played enough WWI flight sims to know that they don't really hold my interest..  
What I WOULD like to see would be a Korean Conflict Era Arena..  That way(among the rides we have now that were used in Korea like the P-51, etc) you could add all those uber piston-prop rides like the F7F, F8F, Hawker Seafury, LA9, etc...
Then add the jets of that era...   F80, F86, Mig15...  You get the gist...  Maybe try to balance everything out somewhat as far as
what is available from that era..  Put a progressive perk cost on all the jets except entry level rides that wouldn't fair much better than piston rides..

Just an idea, and maybe not even a good one...?
Heck, I'd rather them concentrate on what we already have and adding to that than a WWI arena...

I'd probably forgo WWII for a while if this were to be implemented.

Kind of like the 3-5 planes that make up 50% of the total used right now? :devil

 I think it would hold an interest for lots of guys and even bring in new people . Hey if it doesn't work shelve it or sell it on disk . I would luv to have an alternative to the same old same old .

I want to see it.  I've already been looking for a WWI game to play even if it's offline as long as it's got decent missions and AI.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
