Funny how nobody listens to what HTC tells us.

Sounds real cute and all........... But NO.

WWI dogfighting only.  Read it over. 



Let them get it up and running, work the bugs out and then after a year of cleaning it up, ask for silly stuff like WWI bombers. 

Besides, in the early stages of the WWI weren't pilots throwing bombs out of the cockpit?

As valid a point as it is.........  It's like wishing for a tweek to the damage model of the X-Wing.

Do you mind showing me your HTC staff badge? Last I checked they didn't ask you to bark out at community members that this wish shouldn't be here.

Hi pot, I'm the kettle.  It's nice to meet you.    Were you going to add something?
