I don't think Hitech will be able to satisfy everyones wants nor do I expect them too. However, I do agree that the aircraft flown should reflect what arena(early, mid or late) they were actually flown in. One thing to consider too no matter aircraft we get, ENY will determine how often it is flown. Jayhawk, I agree with you that in the end Hitech should determine what is needed for the betterment of the game and not merely giving in .

I think perk price is going to have a much bigger impact.  For a lot of people, perks are as much a psychological roadblock as an actual fiscal one.  I have more than enough perks to loose a couple sets of 234s, but I still fly them very cautiously and plan my flights out religiously.  I rarely fly the 262 even though I could loose a half dozen of them, and when I do, I'm much less aggressive than with an unperked plane.  I foresee the B-29 falling into a similar role.

(Assuming it is won and perked, we don't actually know yet)

I hope the 410 beats out the B-29...I say this because we all know the B-29 WILL be perked, and i just don't see myself upping B-29's if its gona cost an arm and a leg for a formation. I'd rather see a new plane everyone can have fun with and now the only option is the 410...  :confused:

Anyone who voted for the B-29 should be forced to fly Spit1s in the next BoB while massed JU-88s tear them apart.

Don't worry, we'll use the B-29 as the stand in for the He 111 in the next BoB scenario. :)  Just kidding, of course.

My order of preference would be something like:

He 111
Pe-2
Yak-1
D4Y
B6N

I didn't vote for anything at all, because HT should finish completing all existing aircraft to AH2 levels before spending time on adding new planes or GVs to the set.

I voted for the Me410 at each step.

That said, you'll get no sorrow from me over the B-29's victory.

I voted Ki-45 and then after that I voted He 111 and then 410, too bad Japanese craft didn't make it past round one.

<---- Very disappointed the B29 won.   I was hoping for the A26, or the 410.  Out of the list, the B29 would have ranked dead last (in my book) somewhere behind a single troop bicycle.   :(

Very sorry the B-29 won. I pretty much hoped I would never see it in the game. Now the new whine on the wish list will be the Atom bomb. Now that we are getting the B-29 that will be a whole new can of worms. The HE-111 or the ME-410 would have seen more over all use by a lot more players. Both planes saw more service in WWII than the be B-29 by far. The HE-111 most likely saw more service by 1942 than the B-29 did in its total service life. Oh well, it is what it is.

I am so HAPPY the B29 has made it into the game...FINALLY.  Been waiting twelve years to be able to take her up.

B29 represents the pinnacle of WW2 bombers.  AH has taken a HUGE step forward  :rock

Now for the P61  :cheers:
