Well, it all depends: which new plane are we talking, and which variant is up against it. If its the P-51H then for the love of god, the new variant!!!!!

Question:

Why one rather than another? I highly doubt that with as little effort as the P-47M needed that it took any sort of resources away from developing new features or aircraft.

Just in case in wasn't obvious.....I will take a cookie while waiting for the cake.

If that new variant is the P38H I'd rather have the variant.  I find new planes more exciting, however when it comes down to it  I'm usually just happy to have a new toy available regardless of what it is.

Both. Because a variant that takes fifteen minutes to an hour to poke at (for HTC staff, the skin would take much longer of course) doesn't really detract from an entirely new aircraft that takes many multitudes longer.

I'd rather have a new plane.  Although (at a guess) it takes as much time to research a variant as it does a new model, same for coading; but a variant would take 1/3. the time to model and skin in my guesstimating.  So I postulate that we could have 2 new planes for every 3 variants.

Both.  Love the pace of HTC updates since ToD was scrapped.   :rock

Well I have an opinion but I'll wait to see what HT will do as he seems to have things moving along at a nice pace. The game is great with few problems.

I don't think we need any more 500 mph birds that just pass and run. The object is the fight.

More planes are better, of course.

Good suggestion.  Though there are jabo’s that can carry as much ord as some early war bombers.

Pardon my disorientation, I am in complete agreement with Shuffler.  Is there a snowball fight in hell right now?

Personally, I would like to see more planes from 1939 to 1941.  The problem is that these planes will be hangar queens once the novelty wears off.

As an aside, how come no one mentions the Beaufighter?
