1946

[fullmetalbullet]

If HTC decide to add stuff based on calculated numbers rather than fight test numbers that is up to them, but I would rather they did not.

The He162 meets the currently understood criteria for inclusion in AH.

what criteria? But on the fact that you are talking about the He-162, yes it did see service in WW2.

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.

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.

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.

The recent clarification that HTC wants the unit to have been in service.  Yes, I was speaking of the He162 meeting the criteria.  The Ta183 does not.

Correct.

this is surprising coming from the person who recently tried to say the Do-335 saw any kind of service that is not confirmed, and from the experts on this BBS say all evidence points to no it did not.

Correct.

Thank you Karnak for agreeing about the F7F.

I do agree that i would like to see a 1946 "what if" arena due to the fact that i love the sexy and thought to be stealthy look of the Ho-229



but AH in my opinion should stay WW2. and later on goto a Korean war game aswell.

I would not be surprized if Pyro or HiTech had one, and flew them in the MA from time to time just to stir up stories.

Tried? Experts?

Yeah ... I'd bet on it being a VERY popular ride.

A Korean Arena is an interesting idea, but I doubt it would entice many NEW USERS into subscribing ... AW had a very limited (but dedicated) user base for the Korean Jets ... In general it just doesn't have the romance of the WWII era ... Fighter Pilots were on their way to becoming truck drivers, ROE limited the scope of engagements, there wasn't really any significant strategic involvement. And perhaps most significantly, NOBODY WON. History will remember Korea for 2 things ... The brilliantly conceived and executed landing at Inchon, and Harry Truman relieving MacArthur from command. It doesn't have the appeal attached to Pearl Harbor, The BOB, D-Day, Guadalcanal, Stalingrad, etc.

[Ack-Ack]

Yeah!  ??? Q: Who writes a book about WHO DIDN'T INVENT SOMETHING ??? A: RUSSIANS ... They invented Coffee, Donuts, and the Buffalo Nickel too ... according to typical Communist Literature ... What they DIDN'T do was let anyone get a good look at the TA-182.

Wiki has the SAME data everyone else does, As I understand it? It was included with the Blueprints the Swedes Got from the Germans.

then by all means post any VERIFIABLE documents that prove the MiG 15 was based on the Ta 183. 

ack-ack

Why? So you can claim they're forgerys ... planted by Aliens Flying Ho 229s ???

No, so we can see some primary documentation.  Claiming the MiG-15 is based on the Ta183 is the same as the claims that Howard Hughes designed the A6M Zero.  Without evidence it is rather insulting to the Russians because it is basically saying they were incapable of such a design effort.  Without supporting documentation such a claim must be regarded with grave suspicion.

From that answer I take it that you have none and are basically talking at your arse like in all of your other posts?

I have all I want ... I've even shared some of it. If you want MORE? Go find your own...

You haven't shared of shown anything to back up any of your claims.  Myself and others on the other hand have provided data to back up our claims, such as refutting your claim about the MiG 15 design being influenced by the Ta 183.  As the kiddies would say...EPIC FAIL on your part.
