Grumman F6F-6

[Bronk]

The inevitable result of running out of late war WWII American gear isn't people switching to ask for other nation's WWII gear, it is to ask for American gear that didn't make it....

p-63 did.

F7F was in theater and flying when the bomb dropped--just not flying combat missions yet.

Ki-43 was in theater and flying combat operations when the bombs dropped.....on Pearl and it was still in theater flying combat operations when the bomb dropped on Nagasaki.

You see why some of us might think the Ki-43 has a high priority than the F7F?

Let's not get into THIS debate again....

Whoa man.  You misunderstand.  I'm in no way proposing that the F7F be added anytime soon.  Merely mentioning it with respect to some of the discussion about the F8F, et al...  I'm absolutely in agreement that the gaps be filled first.

A Bearcat would be nice, that wasn't Korean war?

What it didn't shoot down an enemy AC unlike the F7F and the F8F?

Karnak, we realise that geting the Ki-43 in the game is your top priority, not sure you need to keep inserting your wish into everyone elses thread. Not really on topic is it?

Not to slam you Vinkman, but the wishlist is full of useless chaff like this thread and Karnak is right...Ki-43 is needed far and beyond the "what if" aircraft. If everyone who started a discussion here would consider the effects on the game and the community before posting "I want another pony" junk, wouldn't be any problems...but that's not likely to happen any more than getting the F6F-6 or F8F.

Hey slam away 

I just think a good use of the wishlist board is to post what you want and if a lot of folks agree, then that's good feedback for HTC. If no one joins replies than a post with no or few replies gets very little attention.  I'm just suggesting that it gets muddled and confused when every thread turns into every other thread because every wish is regurjitated in every other wish.  After a period of time, Karnak can repost his Ki-43 wish so new folks and others can tulips if they still think it's high priority. If everytime the Ki-43 wish is posted it get 125 affirmative replies, HTC will get the message. And if he does, I promise I won't go to his thread and say "No way the P-63 is way more better"  or some other such hijacking type comment.

[Karnak]

The Ki-43 isn't my top priority, it was just useful in that context due to its service period and absence from AH.

The "Wishlist" is full of requests for more late, or post war, American stuff when the American planeset is, by far, the most complete.

This is a public forum and I can post my opinion of those threads.  I consider them self centered idiocy.

[Rebel]

The P51-H was in a "What plane next" poll by HTC a long time ago. Did that stang even see combat?

Depends on your definition of combat. 

If bullets have to fly before it's baptized as a "combat vet", then no.

However, it was in service, and flying patrols in the pacific in a combat theater.

That may not be good enough for some, but it's good enough for me.   

[gyrene81]

That may not be good enough for some, but it's good enough for me.  

It's not good enough for the ones who actually make the decisions...and in the end, that is all that counts.

I appreciate the time you ppl are taking to talk about every fricken plane otherthan the hellcat.

If you'd been PAYING ATTENTION you'd see why the F6F-6 will never appear in the game.
