...It shows the way the game is going though. 10 years ago a plane would have been voted in by it's "history", for what it could add to the game in a historic sense. One that fits as many rolls as it could be used for, FSO, senarios and such

Good to see the HE 111 wasn't important in WW2, wasn't versatile, can't be used in FSO and generally isn't a 'Gap Filler'

Me thinks Rose Tinted Glasses are being worn.

so at what point does some ones vote become equal to long time customers, when they start voting fighters? btw i voted b29 since the ki45 was knocked out.

Votes would be weighted based on time subscribed.  There would be a factor assigned.  That would mean that they are never equal.  

First, read carefully, then comprehend what is being said.  If you do, maybe you won't make silly comments like the one above.  You obviously think that it is because I wanted a fighter that I am not happy.  That is a preconceived notion based on prejudice.  From my real life experience, I have come to know that only ignorant people jump to conclusions based on prejudices.  For that very reason I was going to wait and see what type of people will be flying the B-29 before I made my final judgement, but I must say you are confirming my suspicions.

Btw, I voted for the He-111.  That kind of blows away your "fighter" theory doesn't it?

<- Four year noob and longtime fan of the B-29.  WTG HTC!  :aok



Why not ask that only the cool and omnipotent clique of uber bbs pilots be allowed to vote?  

Non-uber paying customers surely don't know that they should really want some Early/Mid War fighter (so they can get slaughtered by the folks who championed the new "gap filler", while choosing to stay in the Late War monsters they have down to a science).


How many "gap fillers" like the C.202, Spit I, F4F, P-39D or P-40B do you fly on a regular basis?  Why does every addition have to be some kind of "gap filler" when so much of the planeset is largely ignored by the customer base?

That's it.  My suspisions of the type of people who will be flying B-29's have been confirmed.

I'm going to ask the question of what would the Me410 do that the Me110, Fw190, F4U1C, Mossie, Ta152, etc, can't already do?


carry a 50mm cannon?

granted, it's no more necessary, but seems more interesting to me than just being able to drop more bombs.

Use a B-25.  It's got a bigger gun, it's bigger, and it'll look prettier as it kills you.
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

The mossie could carry a 57mm cannon couldn't it? Why not ask for a Mossie with the cannon rather than another plane?

Do you see where I'm going with this?
