Easy choice, I voted for the B-29.

I would rather have something that would see daily use in the most popular arena (Late War) than a plane that would only be used in a SEC once or twice a year then go unused in the AvA.

I voted He-111.

Although I am biased and vote solely on the needs for the Special Events Arenas.  :old:
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I voted for B-29.  Knowing that it will most likely not make it to the next round.

The problem with the B-29 is that it will mainly be used to avoid combat. Most players will see them only as a little dot way up there as they pass over and flatten a town in one go. Of the two US bombers I'd rather have the A-26 than the B-29. At least I might get to fight that one.

If the Beau gets knocked out and 111 makes it thru, I will end up voting that way.

After that we need more Rice :)

All bombers try to avoid combat. That being said I know of a lot of players who will avoid combat in just about anything.

I would like to see the A-26 also, 14x .50cals and two remote turrets!

I wish HiTech would just add them both.

If the 29 wins, it may be kind of neat to see how the remote turrets work via htc's modeling efforts

If that really works, the door is open for the He-177  :aok

Planes don't avoid combat, people do.

And there are ALOT people in ALOT of different aircraft that do precisely that,while complaining loudly about guys taking "undefended" bases.

A26 has my vote, damn sexy plane.

Although if the A26 gets eliminated, I will vote for the 410, and if the 410 gets eliminated I will vote for the B29

Well I thought about the 111, but didn't vote for it due to it's weak defensive firepower (would be nice for SE's like BoB) and relative small bomb load. I've always wanted the 410 as I think people will get a lot of use out of it, and it is a good looking thing! The plane however I would hope to see one day, is I think one of the most overlooked planes of WWII. I won't go into it's attributes here, as you all can research it for yourselves, but the plane I would MOST like to see in game is the HE219. This thing is a beauty and I would think most would agree, IMHO.

I had to do it...  I remember reading somewhere in this thread, "You should vote for what YOU want...", or something along those lines.  Well, I want it, so I voted for it...


He-111! :x

Truthfully, I had to think when I saw the Pe-2 in that list.  It took me about 10 seconds to decide....and for me, 10 seconds was 9 seconds too slow to click He-111. :rofl
