Was hopin' for the Ki-43 since it represents a huge gap in anything we do that's AvA, FSO, or snapshot. Can't even do a semi-realistic CBI without the Ki-43...

Well, maybe the A-26 will give us bomb****ers (damn filter) something to cheer about.

Huh??? I didn't quote myself - that's considered implicating.

Ya know, the more I think about it - the A-26 was available in a glass-nose and gun package version, so it would certainly provide lots of options in the hangar.

I voted for the Pe-2. I thought the list was great, and could have voted for everything except the B-29.

Actually voted for the He-111 myself. Think we need some earlier Luft bombers which had an impact in the war.   :salute

With the current rounds choices I bet the A26 will be the winner.

The average LWMA personality wants it's toys to be powerful and fast. They want the illusion the toy itself will enhance their survivabilty and score while not costing them involved transit time. Thats why toys like the I16 and Betty have to be dropped on us out of the blue by Pyro or we will never willingly vote for something that appeares slow and weak given other choices.

In a vote of only the Betty or A26, the A26 would win. In the current offering the 410 or B29 might win on novelty becasue they just fit into the powerful and fast mentality. The B29 adds transit time. There is no question of this with the A26. Fast and powerful.

I wish HTC would have two types of votes. The obvious fast and powerful. But, a second vote at another time for a single plane in the more historical scenario catagory to fill in some of the ranks. We may be reaching the era of players honestly not knowing the differences between the Battle of Britian and the Battle for Burma. Instead they just have the need for speed and vote with their other head.

I remember in Air Warrior we used to dogfight in the A-26 just for the novelty, kind of like what some people do in the A-20 now.
