the next a/c for Asces High is ...

[Bruv119]

I was actually very surprised to NOT see the Yak 3 in the Aces High hanger when I first came over from Fighter Ace given it's popularity in that game, it's favored mount status amongst actual ww2 pilots who flew it, the fact that Luftwaffe pilots were ordered to avoid combat with it, and the number that actually saw combat.

me too Nish! 

I especially like the bold bit I highlighted.  The game needs a faster, allied late war ride, to deal with some of the Luft rides that are dominating the main arenas.

I don't see the difference from killing a bunch of squirrels in a 24 than an He-177

Need more EW bombers, and planes to fill in the planeset I.E. Russian planes.

Must keep account of FM differences..

What LW rides dominate the mains?

[AceHavok]

I'd like to see the B-25J, P-61, and the He-111 added next.

If AH switched to a micro-transaction business model where I had to purchase additional planes so I could fly them on top of a base subscription price, I'd thank HiTech for the fun over the years and cancel my subscription.


Small, niche games like AH die quickly if switched to a micro-transaction business model.

I'm perplexed by this AKAK, you pretty much fly only the PJ so a one time payment of a buck or 2 "if the PJ was not included in the base sub" and you would be set! I'm not suggesting a monthly cost for additional rides, just a one time payment per plane not included in a "sub package".


I apologize for the hijack, I will move it elsewhere  <S>

This is a Wish List thread.

I'd like to see some more WWI planes ----> SE5a, Spad XIII, Fokker D.VII (with BMW 185 hp engine), Albatros DVa, and Halberstadt CL2

 
Mano

It would certainly be nice to have a bit more variety in the WWI Dogfighting Arena, and it is the WWI arena’s first birthday this week. 

These two would get my vote 

The Spad S.XIII



The S.XIII was flown by famous French fighter pilots such as Georges Guynemer and Rene Fonck, and also by Italian ace Francesco Baracca. Aces of the United States Army Air Service who flew the Spad XIII include Eddie Rickenbacker (America's leading ace with 26 confirmed victories) and Frank Luke (18 victories).

The S.E.5a



Many of the top Allied aces flew this fighter including Billy Bishop, Andrew Beauchamp-Proctor, Cecil Lewis, Edward Mannock and James McCudden. Legendary British ace Albert Ball was initially disparaging of the S.E.5 but in the end claimed 17 of his 44 victories flying it.

I only fly the P-38J as my main fighter ride in the MAs, in the other arenas (and when H2H comes back) I fly other planes quite a bit.  I also am quite fond of the B-25H and I like to have the option of being able to hop into any plane I choose should the desire ever arise.

uh

LA7, P51, Tempest, 47M etc arent fast enough?   

 

[USRanger]

I'd like to see the 110, C2s, C-47 & M-series vehicles for the next upgrade/update.
I'd like the Japanese & especially the Russian plane sets added to first for the next new additions.




And 32 player private servers.

I would rather see HTC "fundamentally" change how it approaches new aircraft.
They should take the inventory they have now and make up a "base aircraft" list, this list would be what everyone gets when 1st subcribing. After that each individual can purchase a new plane to be added to their list, it would stay on the list and could be used as long as your sub is current and paid for. not much but maybe 1$ to $5
 This would do 2 things:  This being a "one time" payment!

#1- would motivate those who have accumulated a large inventory to maintain their account, paying on time etc.

#2- The added revenue would more than likely motivate HTC to put forth new product at a more frequent rate.

 As it is, after just a couple days the B29 is less and less used, seems like a whole lot of effort for little to no return. WW1 could be seen as the same, much work little return. After all business is about making money and creating a product that maintains as well as grows your customer base!

I would surely be interested in this type of approach!

Another thought....what if HiTech dose this idea but only to certain AC that rarely saw action or non at all.  example, F8F-Bearcat, 190D-11, B-32 ect.

Spitfire needs updating again.

Maybe. Do you have an example? I note that I provided no data (and loved it) but you're a part of "that" world. I'm thinking you've seen it happen. Where and when?

[coombz]

So it's taken a whole week to from mine, mine, mine, mine, mine


to


more, more, more, more, more, more






Pathetic  

*shrug* i think it's normal for subscription games to be constantly (for a given value of 'constantly') adding new content to the game

[Kazaa]

I think HTC, as a company, are stronger then ever when it comes to new content releases. It took them a couple of months to release probably the most labour intensive aircraft in AH history (B-29). No doubt utilising Greebo's most excellent skinning skills has freed up a lot of time for both Superfly and Waffle to work on other projects.

Yak-3 is slower than Yak-9U on the deck.
