Final Round of the plane vote

[Debrody]

Give us both plz. 2 awsome additions.

[Krusty]

Give us both plz.

They may just do that... Only, which first? We should have a vote! 

[Raphael]

Vote yak!

[Krusty]

I'm thinking Yak has too many vowels in it... I mean it's got the consonant, which is good, it's got the vowel.. but what's this Y? Is it a vowel or consonant?

Nay! I say go with the Me! Alphabetically, it's better.

Just a tidbit before the results come out on Monday for all those who thought the Meteor was a sure thing.  The Meteor barely made it out of round 2 finishing just ahead of the Beaufighter.  

Thank you, Pyro, my faith in my fellow person has been restored.  Well...restored some....

Must have been funny to watch all of our postings.

And now:  Yak Attack!

Adding the beaufighter might wake up some of the other arenas that currently sit empty.

Adding a late war heavily armed speedster will not.

[Krusty]

Are you referring to the 410, or the yak? Because the 410 isn't that fast. Definitely not a speedster. The yak is horribly lightly armed, 120 rounds of 20mm in a single hub gun, and some short-ammo-load pea shooters.

And no, no plane addition is going to "wake up" the other arenas. It's way more complicated than that.

It would of been interesting to see the M410 and Beaufighter both voted in together, it would seriously be a tough choice then. Much as I love the Yak-3, the Gun package really is what is letting me down, also for the lack of drop tanks (gimmie a DT in a C205 and I'd fly it).

Overall I'd love to see HTC add Both Yak-3 and Me410, If the voting comes close we should at least consider that option, why lose 1 plane to a few votes?

Certainly voting the Beaufighter next time around, love to see twin engines

Just managed to get on for a few seconds and voted for the 410. I sure hope it wins.

Posting with out having any knowledge of what you are talking about shame! Its Armed for late war, however hardly a Speedster at 575km or 357mph at alt or 301mph on the deck. It won't win over any dogfighters, however its versatility is what makes this a wonderful bird, you can attack buffs, dogfight, ground attack.

The Beaufighter will simply NOT wake up any arenas, although its something to fly next to the Me110 and B-38.

Look out at the wing, just short of the "H" painted on it. See that?

That's where the 50mm hit the wing from the Me410 banking away, and miraculously passed through or was a dud. Photo taken from the radio room, and the guy behind the camera is lucky to be there.



P.S. Butcher, the 410 top speed was 390 clean at alt.

Which model? I was giving spec's for the M410 a-1, not quite sure which model will be added

Edited:

Looking at the specs,
Me410 A-1 had 1010 total completed in production
ME410 A-3 had 109
Me410 B-2 had 319
Me410 B-3 had 34

Guessing A1 and B-2 will be optioned?

[Krusty]

410A and 410B had exact same engine and airframes, exact same top speeds. 388 MPH TAS listed, but this is probably with the external racks onboard, making it between 390 adn 395 clean.

[Wmaker]

Whew!

There's some sense in this world after all...

Ah thats right, the specs include fully weighted and not empty, my mistake
