I'm guessing you mean the Short Stirling? I'm also guessing you have absolutely no idea about its operational use.

Do a little research, then post a coherent reason why it would contribute to the plane set. (HINT: It would contribute to the plane set, but probably not in the way you're thinking)

BTW, congratulations on using punctuation in your last post! Now remember to add a space or two after the period and it will look like a real paragraph.

Regards,

I too am gonna guess you mean the Short Stirling.  Because I know you won't do it, here's the specs on her. My only issue... 18,000 lbs of ord?! IMO, nothing with that much capability to single-handedly do so much damage should be added. The game is supposed to NOT be able to be a 1 man show, but take a bit of cooperation (I know, I know, since when does THAT happen? Oh... yeah...  it's summer time... ).

May as well add the B-29 at that point.

yeah, there are reasons that hitech will never add this or the b29. one of them is, its way too impractical. it can hold 18k+ lbs of bombs, and that can can take out an hq with one formation. we dont need that.

The lanc can.

Just imagine how dangerous it would be if it were the other bomber model developed, the Long String!

Here's a picture of a short string plane.  Would kind of suck to fly.

From their help and info page:

''The perk system is a way for HTC to introduce some interesting but otherwise unbalancing planes on a limited basis but the benefits go deeper than that.  Perk planes (and vehicles) would be things like Me 262s, Ta 152s, Tempests, B-29s, Ar 234s, Tiger IIs, etc.  These are interesting rides but would be very unbalancing if they were available on an unlimited basis.  So there won't be unlimited availability but they'll be available as bonuses or perks every so often. ''

[Ack-Ack]

As stated by both HiTech and Pyro regarding that quote, those planes were just used as examples of what kind of planes would be perked and not necessarily mean planes that we'll see in game.

If that is a heavy bomber, then what is the Lancaster, or even the A-20? Super-dee-duper, to the umpteenth degree heavy bomber?

Why should I like you?

All i see is stats why do we need it?

Do I detect punctuation?!?!?

Proper spacing and paragraphs are next?!?!?

WTG!!1!

Keep up the good work.

Better.  Definitely a better quality post.  Keep at it, Stealth.  This is OK, but you can do even more to improve your style.   

For example, you might think about including one convincing reason why we need the plane you suggest...

"The Short Stirling was the first four-engine bomber used by the RAF, starting with 7 Squadron in February 1941.  In Aces High it would fill the heavy bomber slot in Early War events and arenas."
