Aces High II: Development News We're having a subscriber vote of the most asked for planes to determine the next plane in Aces High II. Here are the choices.

    * A-26
    * B-25
    * Brewster Buffalo
    * G.55
    * He 111
    * A Japanese fighter - either Ki 44, J2M, Ki 45, or Ki 43
    * Me 410
    * P-39
    * A Russian bomber - either Pe-2 or Tu-2
    * Yak 3

Out of all these the two finalists were the P-39 and B-25, and hence what we have now.  Yes, even though the planeset was already overloaded with American aircraft, we got the B-25 and P-39.  I'm not saying those are bad and didn't deserve a place in the game, but others should have come first.  Call me an elitist, but I am right and the majority of you were wrong.

Everyone should have voted for the G.55.

[Banshee7]

I do agree gavagai.  I believe it's time for something other than American planes.  The He111 and the Russian bombers would be a good addition.  We also need a few more fighters..the ones we have are starting to get boring 

[Anaxogoras]

Everyone should have voted for the G.55.

Great plane, but not what's needed for complete scenario planesets.  At least, it's not at the top of that list.  My guess is that G.55 votes helped the B-25 and P-39.  You guys should have organized around one or two choices to outvote the American-everything crowd.

At least then the final vote would not have been between two American planes.

Plane production should always be priority number one for HTC.

Ok.. bring on the Po-2 (U-2)! With about 40,000 built it MUST be the next plane added to AH

     Yeah, that majority rules thing sure sucks.

What you have is only "proof" that the majority do not agree with your opinions. You have no proof that "aircraft polls are bad". You only have "proof" that you disagree with the results. Cartoon life is tough.

How did we not get this beast

[oakranger]

I agree with you Gava.  We need to bring more JI, LW, and Russian in the game.  But wait, i do see other countries, may i say vary few of them, that had their own planes.  Italy has a few that could be added.  Lets not forget Frances and Finn.   Like i say, diversity in countries and planes is badly needed.

Take it easy Frances.

I dint think if i remember right that either plane was the most voted for initially.  If it would have been one vote we would have had a differant plane..... but all the people that lost there plane switched votes and it came down to sympathy vote for the b25....

[Boozeman]

The really funny thing about that vote was that in the final round almost 50% voted for the P-39, but ever since its introduction, only 5% fly it once in a while...

So next time, watch out for what you actually vote, you just might get it.
