Would adding an A-20 or B-25 be acceptable to you if it were painted in British or Russian colors? Why does it even matter what nationality a plane is if it would be fun in the MA and useful in scenarios?

No, wont be acceptable. There are plenty of Brit and soviet buffs to model in their own colors. Pe2, Pe3, Tu2, Wellington, Halifax, Blenheim, Beaufighter, Bomber mosquito...And lots of buffs more.

I keep what I said. 50% of american buffs is enough. Please model other nation's planes.

and stop the luftwhiner stupid thing.

Montezuma there are still countries who doesn't have any bomber modelled in AH(SovietUnion, Italy, Japan) and also there's a country whose only un-perked Bomber came to service December-40 (Ju-88).
Shouldn't these have latewar bombers before U.S gets another '44-'45 bomber?

RAM,

You left out the Pe-8.

That'd be a fun bomber. Gunners in the rear of the inner engine nacelles.

I still stick to my belief that the IL-10 would be one fun ride. Better then the IL-2.

As for the whole "luftwhiner" thing, why not just bury it? I've seen more civlized 10 year olds(and that's in PUBLIC schools). Yellin' at eachother isn't a good way to impress newbies coming into the game/genre.

My two pesos.

I think the A 26 would be an awsome addation,but I agree that a Buff(or twin) for Italy, and Russia would be nice to see first. They both have bombers that would be fun to fly in the MA not just planes to add collor, planes that would be functional. Cant Z 1007 and TU 2 come to mind to name but 2. I am prety shure the Ki 67 is a done deal. The only reasion I tend to protest at the inclushion of yet another US anything is because thier are so many cool planes from other countries that could be added that would be fun to use in the MA and we have so much US equipment right now.

What 44-45 bomber does the US have now? What bomber from Italy do you want to add from 44-45?

I don't care if the countries' air forces aren't equal. They were not equal in the war and this is not Fighter Ace.

It is fine with me whatever planes HTC adds, the more the better. Of course everyone has preferences, but asking HTC NOT to work on the A-26 is pathetic.

listen he isn't asking to not work on the A-26B i personally would love to see an A-26B in the arena as it would bring more jabo to the arena and it's a cool plane, i'd love to see B-25Hs, and B-29s, but right now we need to represent other countries. Germanies fine i'm happy with the planeset but we need a good buff Ju-88 isn't that great with it's guns. I'm thinking a Ju-188 or He-177. Sure they weren't produced in the astronomical numbers as American buffs but they produced a lot of them, Germany wasn't concentrated on bombing late in the war, they were focused on killing Bombers which is why many of their planes had big guns (Fw-190, Me-262, Bf-109series with gondolas etc..)

A Tu-2 would be great for the SU, Ki-67 we're getting for Japan (at least I heard) and Ju-188 or He-177 for Germans, maybe throw an Italian buff in if it's good and was produced in enough numbers.

And please don't insult me or fellow LW aircraft fans. We're not whining because we don't want to see a A-26B, hell I'd love to see it, I choose to fly 190s and neither you or anyone else can sway my opinion, you may like American planes which is terrific, it's great to have a planeset you like but you don't see me insulting you.

<S!> just wing up, get kills, have fun!!

Well said there Soviet. Damn if I were not a Luftwhiner I would have said damn more GE!!!!!!! BUt anything but more Us bufs I don't care if it is any other country I just want to see diversity, wow is that a LW whine there? You are right a Tu-2 is way to german stop the insanity now. Which I would love to see an Il-10 hell yeah bring it into the MA, JP ITA, SU anything but please we have enough US buffs for now, get it keyword is now. I would love to see the A-26 beuty of a plane but not now. Add the other contries or what will we have an entire arena of what Kamasutra says and I quote (What 44-45 bomber does the US have now? What bomber from Italy do you want to add from 44-45?
) love muffin Italy did not fight after what time period?

Kamasutra get a grip go back home ask Dad for his books and read a little. We want diversity more then anything and if that is a LW whine then you really need to see Freud. Tard award goes to Montezuma, sorry for being harsh but somebody has to make the kiddies get offline before their parents do.

The Italian co-belligerent air force fought until the end of the war, you're a luftweirdo that needs history lessons and an English class.

My sarcastic statement about the need for late war Italian bombers is lost on you regardless.

R4M · « **Reply #24 on:** November 28, 2001, 01:38:00 AM »

I get stuck on what I said. You're an prettythang, Montezuma.

P.S.:The B17G is a late43/44 bomber. Just as the B26B.

Karnak · « **Reply #25 on:** November 28, 2001, 03:15:00 AM »

The B-17G in AH is a 1944 version.

There isn't much difference, but the tail turret has more travel. The B-17Gs produced in 1943/early 1944 had the older type of tail turret.

GRUNHERZ · « **Reply #27 on:** November 28, 2001, 10:53:00 AM »

Does our B17 have stagered waist guns too? They often came with the cheyanne tail gun turret.

Karnak · « **Reply #28 on:** November 28, 2001, 03:20:00 PM »

GRUNHERZ,

I just checked, and yes, the waist guns are staggered. The left waist gun is further ahead than the right waist gun is.

About the A-26 being a perk plane. In mo opinion the A-26 doesn't have the performance to warrant perking, it isn't staggeringly fast and it doesn't have the most incredible defensive firepower either. The A-26 may suffer the Mosquito FB.VI's fate and end up in the Fighter/Attack category, but I don't see it being perked.

There are only 3 bombers that I see as perk worthy (and I know many disagree with me on one of them), the B-29A Superfortress, the Ar234B Blitz and the Mosquito B.XVI.

Some armaments may be perk worthy, such as the 12,000lb and 22,000lb British bombs, the Japanese MXY7 Ohka (Cherry Blossom) "Baka" and, if HTC were to go down that road, nuclear bombs.

I'm interested in the concept of perking specific ordinance.

In the same line of thought, should some ordinance give higher perks? The bouncing bomb? The german anti-buff rockets? Ordinance the use of which implies a very high risk application?
