No new WW1 crap. That arenas a bust; it usually has what? 2-3 people in it?

The ONLY think WW1 is good for is as a testing ground for new damage models and stuff like that.

Which is a real shame, given the work that went into it, and the initial enthusiasm. HTC might have gotten more bang for their development buck if they'd done the Do 335.
... 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

I doubt that. If anything, it would be the updating of the existing WW2 aircraft as well as updating the sky (clouds, sun, etc.).

The players have voted Panos. The 2-3 players in WWI got out voted  :P.

B26 needs a new model update. Looks really out of date.

Agreed, as do the other AH v1.0 models, the C-47 and C.205.

It is tough, if you think about it, to have to decided on which should be done next. On the one hand, you have the badly needed remodel of more than a few planes, but on the other hand, you have the demand to add certain planes to make FSO and other special events, a lot better than they are with our current lineup, not to mention more historically accurate (I'm not gonna bother trying to factor in MA, though it is a major factor in itself as well).  If you go all on remodel, you'll see more than a few complaints about not having specific ac that would enhance special events.  If you go all for addition of ac, you will see the complaints about our current line up needing to be remodeled.  They are having to balance the two while at the same time, pushing Aces High to a new level.

Let's see, they just did a remodel of the Mossy, added two tanks, brought back small hills and made a change to the dar system.  Currently, they are in the process of updating the towns and fields, and adding a new manned gun.  My guess is they will be adding either a bomber or an attack plane.

After this update, I would say that a remodel of either a fighter or a bomber (or maybe 1 of each), would come next.  Those of you who have played AH since it was created, which plane has been in the line up the longest, that hasn't been updated and is quite popular?  Chances are, they will be remodeling that.

I have to disagree with you.  The number of players only represents it's stage in production.  The WWI arena can and will go a LONG way.  Remember the first time you tasted beer?  :huh  Numbers in the arena is not representative of how much fun one can have.  I would prefer two or three players having an honest engagement, to 3 versus 1 odds. 

WWI arena has a lot of room for growth.  I have no problem with the addition of some popular WWI plane additions.  New maps, planes and a whole new set of ACM rules.  After a while you have an acquired taste.  :cheers:

The list in WW2 is too long for plane additions to make it out of the hangar all that much, unless it is another Bf109 K4 type addition.  Honestly, I am tired of seeing that thing in the main arena, and I enjoy flying it.  New objects and maps  :aok all the arenas can benefit from.

The one area where most substitution occurs in scenarios etc is within the Japanese equipment set.

I can scarcely believe we still don't have the Hayabusa, or the Betty, and we have zero Japanese vehicles.

I would also like to see country appropriate troop transports. For these, just use the C47 flight model with different graphics.

However I am a scenario kind of guy, my ideas won't help the main arenas much.
