what criteria? But on the fact that you are talking about the He-162, yes it did see service in WW2.
There isn't any "criteria" according to AH's recent comments ... There is a PREFERENCE for planes that saw service ... Which is definitely in keeping with the game in it's current form (IMHO). I'm not a big fan of the HE-162, but it DID see service and at least -1- allied flyer believed he had been shot down by one.
I would leave a 1946 arena out of AH, there is no need for it. - The F7F Tigercat also fits the "Criteria" due to the fact that is was in service with the USMC in WW2.
Yeah, the tigercat is a fascinating airplane, but it's unlikely ? to be included in the game as it currently exists. I could fly AH forever without a 1946 arena, but I do think something of the sort is needed. People have played the offline flight sims for years, many of them are drawn to AH because of their enjoyment of those games ... and many are disappointed that some of the planes typically included in those Sims are NOT AVAILABLE in AH ... The public's desire for the SEXY, Fast, late-war rides is readily apparent in the LWA ... and the LACK of participation in WWI, EWA and MWA ... From THAT perspective, AH may indeed NEED a 1946 arena. (???). Revenue is required.
