well,  headscratch

i don't like the ww1 modells, the fokker looks damn ugly. I got Rise of Flight, which got a big lack of online gaming(they still working on a MMO arena) but the Graphics and the FM are outstanding!!!!!!

So i hope after all the lost years with the combat tour, now the ongoing ww1 stuff HTC will go back and concentrate on WW2, thats what most ppl are paying for

 Sad

Well instead of the ww1 i just dream about the

yak 3
He111
Ki 43 & Ki 100
selectable clipped wing option for spit 8 & 14, 16
DO217
109G10

and also tune up the bomb explosions, more different explosions when planes went down in flames, different rockets explosions and much more for better graphics

all these thing could be done...... damn ww1  :furious

What *I* wants is new gameage!

Ho, yes! With strats an supplies, an artillerary (*especially* artillerary), an trains an barges an ships!

And AI. Let's not forget dat AI! For lots and lots o scorts and HQ deeeee-fence and rear-area communications and transport and training!




Did I mention artillerary?

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

If you could see things from a little different perspective you would see the WW1 development for exactly what it is: the VEW Very Early War Arena and the four additional planes as just that, FOUR ADDITIONAL PLANES.  But go ahead and drive wedges into the larger community.  Do you remember the Late War Whiners going on about how useless the Brewster and I-16 were going to be (for THEM).  Those are two fun and historically significant planes.  Just like the next four planes coming down the pipe.

My point is its all Air Combat.  Its ALL GOOD.

Lastly, HTC has years and years of work left to do.  Those guy can retire on this and pass the business on to their kids.



No intent to drive a wedge in the community, which is why I expressed my happiness for WWI fans (who may also be WWII fans as well) getting stuff.   Agree on the goodness of air combat and the amount of work HTC has left.   <S>

All those lost years?  huh?

What is really sad is your attitude.  But you certainly are not alone with that garbage.  Most people, as you refer to them, are in the game simply for the late war set mid 1944 to mid 1945, more specifically anything uber fast and/or with four 20mm uber cannon.  

HTC could have had this myopic and ultimately stuffingly BORING game wrapped up years ago if that is all they wanted to do.  THANK GOD they have more vision than you do.

No, we're going to stop putting our effort into our bread and butter, and do a game about unicorns!  We're going to have a new *look*, and it'll be EXTREEEEEEEEME!  Like recycling and skateboarding.

I would venture a guess that the answer is "No", they are not done with the continued development of WW2 content.


ack-ack

Does that mean we'll eventually see the B-29?  :O  :lol

Poor HTC, if there are not enough planes, people want new maps too.  I feel for you guys at HTC (no i'm not looking for a job there).   :cheers:

Perk the unicorn!

I suppose if you spend 10 years working on WW2 aircraft you might enjoy modeling WW1 aircraft for a change.   :D

Thanks again, they all look great.

wow.......didn't take long for the 111 to show up in this thread. The Beaufighter is quite possibly the ugliest acft I have seen in quite some time.

I'd rather have nukes and the B-29.

well, without wanted to put it on a personal flamewar, i love this damn game! BUT i simply think HTC spend too much time into the project combat tour which never saw a release. And from 2003 til last year when the graphical update came out only plnaes were added but not moch more!

The KI 43 was also ready in 1939! Sure yak 3 is a late one but maybe you would like to think and read twice next time!
When you read my posting up there again, you should realise that a HE 111 isnt a late war plane, it was the first developed german bomber in 1935!

anyhow. i would like to see more ongoing WW2 stuff instead of the WW1 scenery, just my personal opinion, not less and not more

I really hope that HTC does gift us some new WWII toys soon.  I know deep down in my heart that they are close to revealing the Yak-3! :bolt: :D
