Question for HTC: New Fighter Poll

[Pyro]

This is a subscriber poll, free trials don't get to vote.

I would be very happy to see all three of these planes added to aces high. It would be the most ultimate "late war plane" patch.

Side comment:

I think the impact of the B-29 has been all but removed because there is nothing to bomb...

EDIT: By 2-weeker, I think we're talking full subscribers that are green behind the ears, fresh off the boat, just off the bus, (and fill in any colloquialism you like).

I think any of the choices will be OK; nothing here will ruin the game (as many had feared about the B-29).   

I don't think anyone's saying it'll ruin the game, it's just if we can only get one plane, all the other choices in that list will provide more gameplay than the Meteor.

Well once again the Beau is out of it.

Voted 410 but I expect we'll get a useless in a scenario jet next.

My estimation is that speed and firepower rule the day in popular votes, and that might favor the Meteor (for those who know what it is).

I wouldn't be opposed to implementing a weighted vote system - basically your vote counts as 'x' amount of votes based on the number of months your account has been active.   Two-weekers would get 1/2 vote.

What about those of us that have been here for 10 years, but have unsubscribed and resubscribed over the course?

It is? As of a few minutes ago, it was still the 4 of them:

before you guys get mis information

the in game poll says

don't care  /  yak3 / meteor / me410

EDIT: D'oh you're right... I was thinking the 4th was the Beau! My bad

I understand why HTC does these polls, and I understand why the Meteor is on the list. I think the polls create a great vibe in the MA. People feel as though they have a say in what's next to be added, and it sparks (usually) good conversation. The Meteor is just the next "latest and greatest" aircraft to be added. Smart of HTC to add it to the poll, makes the majority happy.

With that said, all us non-Meteor guys should sync our votes. Yak-3 or 410?

I voted 410

[B4Buster]

I voted 410

I'd rather see the Yak but will most likely vote 410 as it was runner up last poll, and voting for the Yak may take from the 410.

[Krusty]

Much as I would love many different planes, I discarded the Meteor and looked at the Yak3 and Me410. Of the two, the 410 was the better choice personally, but also the more useful and practical choice as far as AH goes.

[oboe]

I no longer have a horse in this race, but could someone clear up my thinking here:

Beaufighter - Another British twin engine heavy attack fighter (but with torpedo capability - does anyone ever do torpedo attacks? - otherwise is this just a slower version of the Mossie?)

Me410 - Another German twin engine heavy attack fighter.    About 20 mph faster than the 110G, but with less armament choices?

Yak 3 - Another small, fast, manueverable, great-climbing, short-ranged Russian fighter.   

Meteor - the only Allied jet to see combat (also used in Korea).   


I'm not one of the "OMGZ zorks jetz rulez!" crowd but it does look to me like the Meteor is the standout choice among these that brings something different to the game.

Have I gone batty?

Meteor = Shiny Red Ball

Me410 - Another German twin engine heavy attack fighter.    About 20 mph faster than the 110G, but with less armament choices?

more not less.
It's basically WWII's swiss knife
