Airframe intros
« on: June 10, 2012, 06:39:52 PM »
Which airframe/ and modification introductions, thru the years, do you think have been the most exciting? Of course GVs also count. And do you think the coming 410/87G one will stand out among the best?

Not in the long run.  It will have it's initial time of everyone trying them, but then it will drift to only those who really want to take the time in them.

I know I'm biased, but I think the intro of the 38G and J was a good one that has stood the test of time.

I agree and one of the first planes to show what the then AH2 graphics were capable of over the old AH 1 graphics.

No one has attempted to actually answer his question.

I would say perhaps the Ki-84.  Look how many now use it as their main AC plane of choice.

Also, the Spit 8\16 update was a big change too.

Ki-84 is the jack of all trade for fighters, carries a decent gun package, good climb rate - turn radius in high/slow speed - it can hold its own in most situations, although it does not stand out specifically in any way.

Panther G is the same for ground vehicles, although perked it holds it own in most situations unless a Tiger/Tiger 2 rolls out.

I think the introduction of bomber formations changed the MA gameplay a LOT...

I remember having over 10 kills in a single B17 run back in the day, now 3 or 4 is a lot (for me anyway), and that is with 3 planes firing!

Im kinda surprised nobody mentioned the T-34/85, "at least among the grownups who answered". I cant remember. Did that one include anything else? Also the Brewster is a fave of mine even tho I dont fly it much nowdays. Still in LWA its a fun defender against CV groups or as a on the deck rat.

34/85 was a nice addition to the M4(76) although at the time the M4 completely dominated having that tiger 2 armor it had.
