Potentially Competive fighters for the LWA

[Guppy35]

-1000 to anything with "spit" or "fire" in its name.


Everything else gets a +1.

Well considering you don't want it, then then more Spits must be a good idea.  Considering he was putting out a list of potentially competitive birds, who asked you? 

Can you add anything constructive in terms of other competitive planes?  We've seen lately that you can quote Wiki.  Anything original to add?

Nice guppy 

Anything akak says about tywaaanis is correct

[Melvin]

That Mossy Mk30 sounds intriguing.

More cannon and no mg's you say?

Color me impressed.

152-c two were built. It would be a good addition to your list.

[Volron]

Overall, I like the list.   Means more toys for me to die in.

As stated previously, this is not a wish list.  This is a "show the "why didn't HTC add a competitive fighter for the LWA???!?!??? WHHAAAAAAA!!!!" guys why they didn't add such a thing" thread.  If it were a Wishlist thread I'd have posted it in the Wishlist forum and it would have a very, very different set of aircraft on it.

I strongly disagree with you about fighters though.  This is, primarily, a fighter game and we haven't had a completely new fighter added since the I-16 and Brewster were added years ago.  Since then we have had the M4A3(75), M4A3(76), Panther V G, Tiger II, Mosquito Mk XVI, G4M1 and B-29A added.  It is time for a fighter, it doesn't have to be off of my list here and in fact the vast majority of these would not be good choices, but we are due for a fighter.

A6M3 was added, the P40-E is being added and what about the guys who only play for gving and bombing? dont you want them to have some other competitive gv's/bombers? if we keep on using this Tiger2 vs Tiger2 thing because its basically the only thing that can match itself head on then its gonna get boring. fast.

Wait what? It IS time for a fighter, the P-40F we'll be getting is a nice addition of course, but I'm more interested in a whole *new* fighter. Either that, or rework the existing fighters. Mc 202/205, Ki-61, Yak-9U/T, and the F4Fs/FM2s.

[RTHolmes]

well thought out and presented list


I'd really like to see the Seafire MkIII added as its an obvious hole in the British fighter planeset.

I wonder how competitive the Whirlwind would be in LW? not that fast but should be pretty maneuverable, 240 20mm rounds isnt alot of firing time, but centre mounted you'd only need a quick burst ...

the hurri2c has only 196 20mm rounds for its guns, and thats plenty for killing at least 4 or so fighters.

Both of which are variants of existing aircraft and do not offer anything new to learn to use.  All of the units I mentioned were new units.  I did not mention the redone GVs for a reason.

I would bet that 95+% of players would not be able to tell they were flying a P-40E or P-40F by anything other than graphics.

When I say it is time for a new fighter, I mean a fully new one.  Something like a Ki-43, Beaufighter, Me410, Yak-3 or G.55.

I think you've jumped the gun on Karnak's clever inevitable implication that once all of the late war uber aircraft have been added then finally some of the 'less competitive' and therefore more interesting / rewarding aircraft such as the Westland Whirlwind, amongst others, might be requested / added.

Unfortunately RT I have calculated with careful scientific method that at the current rate of fighter aircraft introduction to Aces High the Westland Whirlwind will be added in 229 years, 7 months and 16 days from now right after the Bristol Beaufighter.   I'm trying to eat well and exercise so I can live long enough to fly it before I pop owf  

Fans of the Whirlwind can find considerable pictures and resources in the most recent wishlist thread here:-

Tanks suck once again more planes!

*gasp* sir, you must now give me your TS card.

tanks are funner than those "planes" you fly. can you drive a plane off of a steep mountainside and sustain no damage? me thinks not!


but i guess that i'd rather see more bombers than tanks. tanks outnumber bombers right now.

-1000 to anything with "spit" or "fire" in its name.

so you would have -1'd the firefly?

well...thats kinda stupid. seeing it was the only thing to match a tiger...
