I think its funny that whenever we get a new variety of an existing model, the whiners come out in force. And EVERY time, just like in this thread, people inform the whiners that adding a variant of an existing model is about 1000 times easier than making a model from scratch. Even knowing that, people wonder why their wish wasn't granted. Adding an incremental update like this is not even in the same category as adding a plane from scratch, and i wish people wouldn't treat it as such. Yeah, I would love to see an HE-111, and a KI-43, but those would exist on an entirely different path of development. HTC does listen to us, and im sure those planes will come in time, just like the Betty did recently. In the meantime, enjoy the game we have.

I know that some people will be very excited about a P-40F, and I am genuinely happy for you that it has been added.  Anything that can add to a scenario is great in my opinion - but I personally just cannot get excited by it.

Beautiful looking bird though.  Great work HTC.

Now how about another Ju-88 to shoot it with? :)

Is it 10 mph faster? Big deal... But also 400lbs heavyer, while the E model is quite a brick too.
It fills no gap at all. Really isnt better than the E. Anyway, im still happy with this (food).
Im with Crazy Ivan.


It fills a rather large gap in the scenario/FSO/Snapshot line up.

I know some people who will be very happy about this, I will give it a spin in AvA or in some scenario, but in MA I need something that has more speed to fight 190D/51s that can reset a fight as they please.

I think we should all be happy that there is progress.

What bird that we don't have do you think would fit that profile?

Seems to me if that's the worry, grab a Tempest or 262 and have at it :)

That or take the challenge of beating those latewar birds in an early or midwar bird.  Good fun too. :aok

I get it. It's historically important to have in the game. I personally didn't enjoy flying the E, but I will fly the F a couple times at least. I should probably fly earlier planes more and work on my technique & aim instead of depending on a low ENY fighter that chucks taters so I can spray them and get lucky.

Not whinning, just stating a new fighter hasn't been added in atleast a year. Also with the Pyro, what plane would you like added thread tease. I think we're overdue just saying.
