the point of the thread is to find out from your opinion what has been sitting in the hanger the longest period of time... rarely used a/c.... for an example...the 163 was used to defend the home front... like HQ and factories... but in essence the factories move back and forwards, due to base being taken and retaken back. why don't we have a revolving base where we have 163s to defend those factories? since the factories move to a predetermined point?

the b29 was introduced but so heavily perked... i hardly see any... no doubt there are... prob out of the 400+ players... maybe just a group of 10 people use it..same goes for the 234... hardly used...but this is not based on facts... but by observation...

at that time i was wondering if the meteor won the polls... she would be the same as the rest...

All perked aircraft are used by a small percentage of the players because not only you need to have the perks to fly it you also need to like the plane (your not going to fly what you don't like).

I think early war aircraft see a lot less usage than perked because even though perked airplanes are expensive you can actually accomplish something when flying them, the only thing your going to accomplish when flying an early war aircraft it get shot down.

Well maybe not but admit it, it is easier to fight on late war perk planes.

That's because the guy you shot down has a K/D of 0.38, I would not be surprised if you shot him down with a C-47.

(no names)


It's the pilot, not the plane. However if you have two equally skilled pilots the plane will change the outcome.

MachFly,

Still, you have to admit, the D3A was getting used.

Sure it is used. It even has 234 deaths this tour alone (I don't know how to find the # of sotis). But look at it this way, as rare as Spit14s are you see a lot more of them than D3As.

That is true in the MA, but the D3A's purpose for being in AH is not the MA and the Spitfire Mk XIV's main purpose for being in AH is the MA.

Agreed.
I just thought the thread was specifically discussing the MA.

It is discussing usage in the MA, but it seems to have an implication that Hangar Queens were a waste of HTC's resources.

Absolutely not, not a single thing in AH is a waste of resources.
