Round 3 voting

[Pyro]

Round 3 voting is now going on in the arenas until Wednesday morning.  The Beaufighter was eliminated in Round 2 by a margin of 1.2%.  If there is no majority after Round 3, voting will continue to a final round between the top 2 planes.  Results of all poll rounds will be revealed at the end of the final poll.

I'm a little surprised the beaufighter was eliminated.  There was some talk on 200 regarding that.  Maybe too close of cousin of the mossy?  So be it.

It's sad to see any of them go down, but I just think of it as "not right now" as opposed to "not ever".

Someday, the J2M will make it in!

a vote for yak is a vote for cookies
and cookies are good.

Pyro, can you set it up for those of us not able to log into the game to vote? I am on the road until Friday around midnight. In theory I could miss the next two rounds of voting.

Any chance of finding a way I can participate?

If you have a laptop, go ahead and install the game.  Log in and vote.  Laptop should run Aces High well enough for that.

Voting who cares the rest of the way.

Historical birds dropping... non-history oriented folks want big guns and speed.

I'm not sure that's the case.  I think we've slipped even lower and most are just voting for Meteor cause it has a cool name.  I'd be pleasantly surprised if they knew it had speed and guns.

^what he said.

The B5N need updating more then we need another late war uber plane.

[Krusty]

Fish, you do realize the Me410, if you count the Me210Ca that it was based upon, was in service in 1942?

And that the Yak3 is from early on in the Soviet timeline, 1943, I believe?


How are they late war monsters?

Label the meteor if you must, but don't use it as a blanket because it doesn't apply to any but the meteor in this case.

The 410's late war because no one wants the 410 for its early forms redundant with the 110.  It's a "monster" because of the BK5 and MK 103.  Those are superlative by any current AH measure.  It's ridiculously monstrous because there's no flight performance to go with those guns.  IOW it'll be a hangar queen for all but a few AH players after they try it out for its novelty after release day.

[Krusty]

Seeing as production stopped mid '44 I don't think you can consider it truly "late war" ... Unless that's reverse psychology to get other to vote for it?


(In which case... "yeah, I agree!")

I'd rather have the 410 then the Meteor as well.  Ten dedicated 410 drivers would be a heckuva lot more fun then more jets

The Yak3 was out March 1944 and in front line strength in the summer of 1944. Meteor came around in July 1944. The only thing left on the poll is the Me410 but some are voting for it for the big guns it may carry.
