Rino besides legal issues, server crashes, and making sure you're not being robbed, what takes priority over making your source of income happy?

     So now you are the total source of HTC's income?  I've been here since 2000ish and I am happy with
their efforts myself.  Of course my attention span lasts more than 4-5 seconds too.

well, its just that people in this game are too lazy to fly the bombers correctly. In WWII bombers flew up to 20-30k. In Aces, bombers go anywhere from 0-20k.


Try to fly a Ju 88 at 25 or 30k...  :rolleyes:

Even if you take the time to get to 20k, you are still dead meat on the table.

I don't really care about the specs Brown, its about having the full collection, and even if you think its not worth getting it because of its range or whatever, people will still use it. It will also be usefull in FSO, and such instead of using a freakin replacement.

I'M not the total source of their income, but their player base is. I personally don't give a damn if we get the He-111. Once the "new" wears of I won't give it a second glance, I'm sure. I was simply saying that if more than 1/2 their player base wants the He-111, then it would benifit them to add the 111. I would be thrilled if they added a Hetzer, Marder II, Jagdpanther (oh hell yes), Panther, Panzer III ausf L, etc; but I couldn't care less about bombers.

He-111s and Do-17s practically flattened half the major cities in my country for that fact alone its unbelievable that they arent included in the plane set.The reason allways given is lack of information on the aircraft, very strange as my grandmother could identify them but she wouldnt have known an Ar-234 if she had tripped over it in the street.

How often do we even do scenarios including the Germans? Not very often. And even then, the 111 was woefully ill-equiped to defend herself against new high-speed heavily armed opponents after the early war. The 177, on the other hand, served throughout the entire war, and was ten fold more able to defend herself.

You might want to do some research before making absurd claims.  The He177 most certainly did not serve throughout the entire war, and it never, not even in the He177A-5, reached a reliability level that was remotely acceptable.

That's what I get for using wikipedia as a reference source, I suppose, but it was built in quantity by late war.  :o

It's true, the 177 had severe reliability issues, but engine issues are not something HiTech wishes to bring to the game.
