A Pretty Large Aircraft Wishlist...
« on: February 25, 2010, 04:01:28 PM »
Okay, these are some aircraft I'd love to see in the next few versions of Aces High. Correct me if any of them are in the game, because sometimes the names and designations are different.
And, I would also like to see the Mosquito's 57mm cannon.

And the planes are:
F8F Bearcat: F8F-1, F8F-1B and F8F-2
Yakolev Yak-7: Yak-7A, Yak-7B and Yak-7T
Sukhoi Su-2: Su-2 and Su-4
Yakolev Yak-3: Yak-3 and Yak-3K
Yakolev Yak-9: Yak-9, Yak-9T, Yak-9K and Yak-9TD
Mikoyan MiG-3: MiG-3
SB2C Helldiver: SB2C-1 and SB2C-1C
Sukhoi Su-6: Su-6

Most of them are attackers, and from the Soviet Union. Though I do want the F-8F and SB2C.

Post what you think!

Only one on this list that is in game is the Yak-9T.

The F8F did not see squadron strength/combat service in WWII to be included into the game.

Yak 3  +1.

So, because the F8F wasn't that famous, they left it out???

No, WWII was over before it saw combat service. HTC's rules do not permit aircraft that did not see combat service and/or squadron strength.

Sorry I didn't know it didn't serve. I saw it on a page listing all WWII aircraft.

I think the list is waaay ahead of the game.  For now, lets try to get basic models and no sub-types.

Like the HE-111 or the Yak-3 and so on, not the Yak-7B whatever. . . To be honest there are far too many requests for planes only a few people will fly and even then its for curiosity.  Meanwhile crates like the Yak-3 will become the launching point for entire squads (I know the french are looking to form a proper NN squad - and I am waiting for this).  Sure having some diversity in bombers and attack planes would be nice, but I for one, am hoping that AH will see the value in adding planes that had a major impact in the dogfighting arena, have a large body of historical value, and are going to compete against the most dominant planes in LW right now.  I love the LA-7 and teh Yak-9U so I will keep flying those (and the KI-84 out of national pride) but those are planes that came at the end of a series of developments - and I think its those planes that should be modeled first, not the interum fighters that no one will fly because the more advanced versions are available.

my 2 cents.

You are 100% right about one thing dude..................

It is a relatively large list...... of bullchit.  Half of which, is Plinko crap that they barely used!   :eek:

+1 on the Yak 9 though!    :rock

Yak 3 and the Mig 3 would be good. Along with a substantial amount of Japanese AC.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

YES! To Grumman Dauntless. Looks like a shortened fuselage F6F with greater top speed, greater climb 30%, and lighter 20%.  :salute
