They needed it badly, but never got it - so why should we?

To the OP,

In case you didnt know... There are two requirements needed for an aircraft to be included into the game:

1. Must have seen combat in WW2
2. Flew in squadron strength

This aircraft does NOT meet these two requirements and therefore will not be added to the game.

The Falcon series or something is far better if you want jet combat, just like for wwI stuff I have been playing RoF.  AH2 has the best community, best pilots, and from what I can tell the best functioning physics engine.  So why continually try to bring strange Luft jets into a game where most people are flying prop plane? 

Come down here m8, the action is below 10k.

+1 for the 177

+1 for the 177

copy-pasted from an earlier side-by-side comparison of the He 111 and He 177 I made a while back...

Heinkel 177:



Crew: 5
Range: ~3400
Wingspan: 103ft.
Range:
Bombload: ~13k to ~15K lbs.
Defensive armament:
1 × 7.92 mm MG 81 machine gun in nose position
1 × 20 mm MG 151 cannon in forward ventral position
2 × 7.92 mm MG 81 machine guns in rear ventral position
2 × 13 mm MG 131 machine guns in FDL 131Z remotely-operated forward dorsal turret, full 360º field of rotation
1 × 13 mm MG 131 machine gun in manned aft dorsal position
1 × 20 mm MG 151 cannon in tail position

And she's got the ugliest profile you ever saw 

Not sure how the remote gun would work. Perhaps like the 5" guns currently do, a shot of the gun and a red +?

The dorsal gun, note the glass dome from which the gunner would control the weapon:



Ventral cabin of the bomber, where the controls of the remote guns are located (2):




Made my post nice 'n' picture rich for those of you with short attention spans.

Or maybe just a Me210/410 and the He 111.

Hey Plazus? Do you work for HTC now?   Cause they've never
stated what the requirements are for inclusion.

Yes, they have.

[Westy]

Really? A link to the HTC post or 'news' stating any such a thing would
suffice.  Ought to be easy if you recall them making it. 

[Larry]

IIRC is was pyro who said it on the forums.

[Westy]

My search of Pyro's posts, back to 99, using the words;
inclusion
modeling
aircraft
airplanes
& criteria

showed no such statement. None at all not even close. Same with
HiTech.  I think too many have read other subscribers making such
statements over the years and it has now been erroneously been
pinned on as coming from someone at HTC.

Since the beginning they've never said what the criteria is. They
have explained some additions after the fact (for use in scenarios
for example)
