POLL: Which WWII model needs an update?

[Megalodon]

P40s desperately

Absolutely, +10

[HighTone]

The C.205, B26 and C-47 

[Raptor]

A6M series, add some new variants/gun options

[Bruv119]

is a depressing list for HTC to look at.  Why I go a bit  when i see WW1 / korea wishes.  Just crack on with the updates to WW2!  I don't care much for sideshows.

I'd go with mossie / Temp.   The mossie needs an overhaul with some new variants.  Speed corrected seeing as we have no night time,  the bomber variant with all guns removed.  and the Tse Tse for anti shipping 25, molins 57mm rounds.

Leave the Yak alone.  It's fine just the way it is.

Update the Tempest, Hurricane, B-26.

Don't touch the Yak.

For me the P-40's are just a bit lacking , The A6M's also could use a little love .

I'd like some of what you're smoking!

[texastc316]

Meh. Whichever.

Hi all!

I'd like to have some better cockpits. By "better" I mean cockpits which do not hide important indications, like auto pilot lights and gun ammo counters.

In Bf-109K4, auto pilot combat trim light and cannon ammo counter are hidden behind stick. One has to move it off center to be able to see them.

How abount a Tiger like was once feared.  Not the paper Tiger like we have now.

109G6!

the FM and speed and climb data are not correct!

spit 14!

option with clipped wings, this bird was in RL one of the fastest!

loadout at 190 F8, this bird got some more options

a 190A8 option: Schräge Musik!

ju 88 option with 75 mm gun!

IL2
must have a much more stable surface, in RL they never shoot it down until Hartman found out a weak point at low 6!

YAK3 109G10

HE111 for BoB a must have!

Where to begin?

109G6!

the FM and speed and climb data are not correct!

Prove it. There were MANY G-6s.. It's a generic name for dozens of different models. We have an early G-6 modeled, with 20mm hub gun and squared canopy, and short tail.

spit 14!

option with clipped wings, this bird was in RL one of the fastest!

Already updated. We don't need clipped wings on it. That would make the squirrely flight model even more spastic, and reduce it's high-alt capabilities (since we have the high-alt engine modeled).

a 190A8 option: Schräge Musik!

Look up 190A8. Then look up Schrage Musik. You're confusing one or the other.

ju 88 option with 75 mm gun!

That's the last thing our Ju88 needs

IL2
must have a much more stable surface, in RL they never shoot it down until Hartman found out a weak point at low 6!

You're wrong on that. The armor on an IL2 only surrounds the immediate cockpit and parts of the engine/weapons. It had a wooden tail, and much less stick stirring capabilities in real life than it does in AH. The reason they couldn't kill it is because 109F2s had 15mm cannons. F4s had 1x 20mm cannons. One of the biggest reasons for the development of 30mm hub guns was to kill IL2s faster. Yet, kill them they did. It was just harder to do.

addon ...  109G10

Fly a K-4, it's faster and climbs better. Or fly a G-14. Has all the same options, same speed up to 16k.

KRUSTIFIED!!

c.202 and 205

[Krusty]

Oops, missed this:

is a depressing list for HTC to look at.

Of the 95 playable vehicles in this game, only 34 (give or take any I missed?) need updating:

F4F4/FM2
P40B/P40E
Hurr1/2c/2d
110C/110G
c202/205
a6m2/a6m5
yak9u/t
A20/A20G
B26
Lancaster
ar234
ju88
ki67

Moss
Temp
163
ki61

ju87
b5n
d3a1
SBD
TBM
C-47

M3
M8

Those need to be updated. That's 33 total. That may seem like a lot, but if you count "families" of planes, where multiples are updated in a single round, it's much less. There are 7 familes that would cover almost all of the remaining fighter planes and 2 of the bombers. There are only 5 standalone bombers (the level ones), and 4 standalone fighters, a measely 6 dive bombers (lumping C47 in there since it has no formations), and 2 GVs.


Meanwhile, they've updated 41 pre-existing "older" models to newer quality, and WHILE they were doing that they added 22 new models of varrying complexity (some simple "versions" some entirely new).

This is just since the Ki84/B24/T34 update when they started updating models and adding new vehicles.

I think they've got a lot done. If they weren't focusing on WW1, I'd imagine we'd have had 2 more "updated planes" patches already. I'm hopeful they can get the rest done fairly quickly, but they keep doing other things (like the pesky terrian updates! Foolish us wanting better looking terrain!)
