The next plane to be introduced/updated and shown on the front page...

[BulletVI]

Might want to do a bit more checking on the facts regarding the Beau.  Strike Wings operated out of England til the end of the war.  Beau's operated in North Africa, Malta, the Balkans, Italy etc from 41 on.  RAF had Beaus in the CBI from 43 on.  Beaus with the Aussies from 42 til the end.  Production ended in late 45. 

There were concerns about the Mossie construction reacting to the tropical climate in the CBI and they didn't see a lot of service there or in the Pacific.

Yes but after the Mossi had proved it self in action you find that most strike Beu's Had been moved to warmer climate's. by 1943 there where more Mossi squadron's in the UK than Beu squadrons. Most Beu squadron's where anti ship The TorBeu and even the Mossi took over there after some time. And many Beufighter Strike Squadrons where re-equipped with the Mossi as it on strike mission's was eventually able to carry a heavier payload than the Beu i.e the Mossi by 1944 i think was able to carry around 6000 pounds of bombs and 8 rocket's all at-once. But as said and i quote the Mossi is not suited for warmer climate's as it's glue and resin was liable to melt as the glue ( resin ) was a new development For the time. And RAF command decided that the Beu was the best Strike aircraft for warmer climate's i.e the Med Africa And Burma / Pacific.

But Hey lets not argue I like Both the Beu And Mossi And i want to see all variety's of them in this game

Beu and Mossi Rule's   

[Nemisis]

Why so many GV's?

How many GV's do we have? How many aircraft do we have? There ya go.

[BulletVI]

In fact there is a story that in 1944 the allies's need to do a photo re-con  deep deep behind the Japanese line's But the Beu Didn't have the range it fell shot by 100 mile's. So they asked for a High flying photo re-con Mossi to do the job. so one was flown from England. But by the time the Mossi was on its return trip and around 200 miles from base the glue ( resin ) had started to melt. but fortunately the crew was able to land at a forward air base and when the Mossi came to a halt and shut down the Mossi just fell apart now no-longer able to support its weight. . But it completed it's mission successfully. And sample's where taken to see how and why the glue ( resin ) had melted. and by 1950 they had solved this problem and during the Malayan conflict The Mossi was able to operate out there as a high flying Photo Re-con Plane.

It's a nice story but there are no official document's on this but i read about it from an autobiography from an RAF pilot who flew Mossi's in WW2 and he heard it from so-on-so. So it may be true to an extent it may just be a good story made up by some pilot to enhance his story of what had happened.

Re-con Plane...so-on-so.

Recon is one word, is not a proper noun, and is an abbreviation of reconnaissance. Why did you insert the hyphen?

Plane is not a proper noun.

The expression is so-and-so.

I highly doubt the bonds would be able to take the strain of the lift created by the wings, then fall apart just as significantly smaller strain was placed on them.

[Ack-Ack]

How many GV's do we have? How many aircraft do we have? There ya go.

Considering this game was designed primarily as a flight sim, are you really all that surprised there are more planes than ground vehicles to choose from?  There you go...

Ahem Google chrome spell checker it override's the forum's for some reason looking in to it

As i said it was a story from a pilot and passed about so the Chinese whispers effect take's place on this story but it's a fun story
 

[bustr]

We need the Piper L4.

In Europe, the final dogfight of WWII occurred between an L-4 and a German Fieseler Fi 156 Storch. The pilot and co-pilot of the L-4, Lts. Duane Francis and Bill Martin, opened fire on the Storch with their .45 caliber pistols, forcing the German air crew to land and surrender.

Can we get the L4 with a Tommy Gun.......................... .......

Regardles of that fact (if it is a fact, I've never seen HTC say "We need to fill some holes in the aircraft  line up more than we need to get more than we need to get a decent tank line up"), we need new GV's than more than we need new aircraft, IMO. The setups can muddle along with incorrect variants (190A4 as opposed to a 190A5, or 109F4 as opposed to a 109F1), while an African setup wouldn't do too well using M4's (or even T-34's) vs Panzer IV's and Tigers.

Who says we need more GVs than planes?  You?  Planes are the bread and butter of this game, not ground vehicles.

And if we put as much attention into groun vehicles and the troops (say if we had individual controlable troops and all that other nifty stuff), then THEY would be the bread and butter of the game. For all their speed and firepower, aircraft just couldn't stop every single troop thats running toward the map room (I imagine that we would have something like a king of the hill style capture. You need to clear the map room builing of enemys for say 1:30).


Its all how you pick and choose, remember.

Absolutely not, if your sole purpose in this game is to GV, there are far better games out there.

You should check out World of Tanks, as that upcoming arcade tank game sounds like it's right up your alley.  No planes and all tanks with power ups.

ack-ack

[Nemisis]

I don't want power ups and cheats. What I want is a decent tank, tank destroyer, and SPG line up.

And crazier, I was saying that if HTC had put the same ammount of work into the ground combat as they did into the aircraft, that aircraft wouldn't be the star of the show any more. We would likely see a lot more base takes due to GV's (infantry included) and that there would be a big spike in GV sorties.


For better and worse, HTC put tanks into the game. That means they deserve their fair share of attention.

[wgmount]

I'm not certain that the Churchill MK 1 would be considered a decent tank destroyer. The QF 2-pounder was kinda weak. The MK VII would be nice. It had more armor than a Tiger but even the 75 mm would be rather weak firepower also.

If it is a tank destroyer you want maybe the Pershing with its 90mm main gun would be nice to have.
