I'm all excited about the new P-38  :rock

We can not have the P-38K, only one was produced.

Simple reading comprehension.

qouted from Pyro
8 planes will be used in the initial poll, we'll take the top 4 of those results and re-poll and then take the top 2 results of that for the final run-off.  Use this thread to nominate planes for the poll.

Mea culpa.

Noticed that when I logged in last night.

Doh!!

What is the minimal number. We have the TA-152........ only about 10 of those saw service in WWII.

Ok, you can have the "K" but you Guppy35 and CAPl have to land it correctly.  The arean is getting full of P-38 parts.

I think the list of planes left is another sure sign that fighting/combat is no longer the main theme of the game. If it were, people would have picked a fighter, instead we have bombers. Like most other "elections" the majority once again prove that they havn't got a clue.

Ranger, if we get the B-29, are you going to do a sound pack for it?

I can hear those big briggs and straton engines firing up on the runway now, the sound of a coffin door opening when I set to bomb, a creaky screen door for flaps,  It will be epic :D

Let me say that the planes left are definitely not the ones I would have chosen.  However, you are throwing some hard to prove ideas out there.  How do you know that the majority is clueless?  Further, how do the remaining choices indicate a disinterest in combat?  I can imagine both contenders in combat situations.  Can't you? :headscratch:

You might have had a point...if there had been any fighter in that list with a profile and name recognition as high as the B-29 or invader. In other words, a P-47 or a Mustang or a Spitfire.
Not something relatively obscure like a Ki-43 or a YaK-3

Now that I hear some of you screaming... yes, I'm serious. How often do you think has the average young American subscriber has heard about the glorious B-29, and how often about the Ki-43?


(Another thing... since when is fighting defined as flying fighters only?)

What about people like me who like to fly buffs most of the time and don't do the whole dogfighting thing? I voted for aircraft that I intend to fly and none of those aircraft are fighters. Just because I don't vote or fly fighters doesn't mean I don't have a clue.

Believe it or not I fly bombers to enjoy the fights I get into with attacking fighters. I could care less about bombing things nowadays as I've been doing it for 10 years. An example: Last month I found myself facing Grizz and Kappa doubling teaming my B17's in Me262's. The battle went on for a good 5 minutes and in the end I lost but I gave both of them black eyes and smoked their engines. That fight is what I live for in Aces High, that is my dogfight.
