Poll: Do We have enough US,and German Planes?

[hazed-]

I think these would help balance.My particular preference is a late model LW to match p51d/f4c my choice is 190D9
next in line Allied Tank my choice Sherman m4/M3 Lee/British Matilda then A japanese bomber or torpedo bomber/italian bomber.
Also give existing 190 more variation on field conversions which they had.I as you can tell favour LW aircraft but i think it only fair that those that love Jap planes get their choices too.Id rather fly rare aitcraft that ive never seen in other games than stagnate in other games planesets.

Patience is indeed a virtue.

Patience is all very well, but it looks like the 2 main RAF fighters of 1944 have already been ruled as perk planes.
If the Dora ever comes unperked, as seems likely, it isn't going to be much fun fighting against them in a Spit IX.
 

Other than that, I agree. Emphasis seems to be on US/allied planes.

The main allied nations of WW2 were the US, Soviet Union and Britain and Commonwealth. Given that Britain and Russia, both of which had larger AFs than the Luftwafe, have a total of 6 planes between them, the emphasis seems very much US/German to me.

Just curious.

Anyone remember how many aircraft were available in AW-DOS one year after the Beta?

Anyone remember how many aircraft were available in WB on year after the Beta?

HTC has ALWAYS said this would be a continually evolving game, including the planeset. This planeset is actually pretty well balanced overall. As they should, the aircraft have their strengths and weaknesses and if you use any of them correctly you can do well.

HTC and HTC alone changed the price model for a quality WW2 ACM game. Part of this accomplishment was keeping their staff lean and mean. How many high quality FM's and art files do you expect them to turn out each month with six total employees?

Those other aircraft are coming....and YOU know it. So chill. Get your shorts out of a knot.

Step back, compare this game/planeset to AW and DOS on their respective one-year birthdays.

Enjoy. It's only going to get better.

    Toad, I see your point and if in some way I Implied that HTC was balldraging that was not my intention, I too feel that the plane set is well balanced, It is just that the impression that i get from reading these forums is that HTC does indeed listen to the average joe and that if the average joe wants planes form different countries and periods of WW2 then this is the place to express those desires,The squeaky wheel gets the oil.....

Brady,

I hope you won't think I'm picking on you. None of this is directed at a specific poster.

However, I do wonder if folks read and review the board before they raise a ruckus.

Here's a minor example:

Brady, have you read and replied to this thread in this very same topic?

I'd say THAT is the place to express you desires with respect to future aircraft. If you have, good on you. If not, why not post there instead of here? The same goes for everyone else, I'd think.  

This is absolutely NOT directed at any one individual, but the impression I most often get from reading these boards is that we are all a bunch of spoiled little brats that want what we want RIGHT NOW and we want it FREE!

Patience, grasshoppers. Those planes are otw.

   Toad, I was referring to the BB in general, I see your point again Toad, and judging by the number of pasts' u have made I can see u have probably seen a lot more of it in this forum than I have. However this is not my first flight sim and not my first forum I have seen what u are referring to in other forums, it is human nature to want what we don't have and for a bunch of people who are as passionate about their hobbies as we all seam to be this is well, what I would expect.
  The forum is also part of the fun for me in a flight sim, it is a learning experience, and a place to vent, and a place to see that their are actually other people on the planet who share my passion for military history, it is fun, the 4 year old in me live's on the WOW factor is high and I love it
