Ok i will, Based on those requirments you limit the plane types to those that saw combat..why?
If the point of the game is to fight in WWII fighters then why have limiting criteria...i mean if we limit the planes because of combat action saw by these planes, might as well limit the MA to an Axis Vs. Allies arena. Last time i checked i never saw an episode of Dogfights with two p51s fighting eachother.
Based on YOUR limiting criteria for aircraft, you defeat your own purpose of what you think this game is about. You think that this game is about fighting WWII aircraft vs. WWII aircraft, not aircraft that saw combat vs aircraft that saw combat. Some of these planes were made in WWII, so why not have them? Just because they did not see combat? Well...like I said i never saw a P51 dogfight a P51 in any WWII Book ive read...
So the criteria you put out is limiting the plane set to historical setups...but like you said thats not what the game is about..
Basically, why do we limit the planes but however do not bother to limit the gameplay by these planes?
First off attacking AckAck will get you nowhere,he's not the person who decided what the "rules" should be.
Secondly no one is limiting anything,HTC has developed a game/sim that allows the use of WW2 combat aircraft.When developing the game/sim it was decided that in order to be included in the hanger the aircraft had to see actual combat and sever atleast at a squadron level. The players never made this rule the developers did.
While I might like to someday be able to fly some of the above mentioned aircraft,many others too, I'd prefer to see a well rounded planeset with all the major combatants having some type of representation and the major players having a near complete set.
Theres so many planes the acually fought during WW2 that we dont have,personally I'd rather see anyone of them before a plane that didnt see combat.
The F7F is my kind of plane,twin with lots of guns,but it still isnt high on my list of planes I'd like to see...... The Beaufighter and Me410 belong ingame long before any tigercat.
YMMV.
