I Predict the Next Plane HTC Brings Forth Will Be...

[SmokinLoon]

Maybe we need three votes?

FIGHTER


BOMBER


Aces High 1.0 Update

But honestly, if HTC wanted to soley focus on updating all existing out of date aircraft and vehicles, I'd be ok with that too...only if they did it a lot quicker than they're doing it right now....

I like this idea.  Seriously.  As of now though, no need to vote on a bomber.

New Planes of New Country's! 

Dewoitine D.520 and the CAC Boomerang

adds to the base 100 million possibilities

This pic from Spatula's stats program may be a clue that the Ki-61 will be getting updated soon:



The info is taken from the AH stats page.  The image shows the combined stats of all the tours that I have seen action involving the Ki-61.  Tour 151 was the first time that the 61 was listed as "Ki-61-I-Tei".

Also a good candidate(s) on the list of current varients to expand imho:

See, new version(s) of 61 and a 100 while they are at it. Several new variants, a remodelled old AH aircraft and something new at the same time.

WE all know its the PBY, Towed normandy Gliders, or large LSD's landing craft that would hold 6 tanks. 999000

Would be cool to see the CV version of the Brewster too, that would be an easy add.

I too would *really* like to see an EW version of the Brewster Buffalo.  This hot rod version we have now in AH is no where near an accurate representation of what the USN, RAAF, Dutch, or RAF/FAA had in the PTO in the early stages of the war.  It may be accurate to the version the Finns had, but certainly not anywhere else.  

Seriously though, I wonder how long it would take HTC to swap out airframe weight(s), engine HP, gun options, etc, etc.  It isn't like going from the 109E-4 to the 109K-4.  No disrespect intended, just curious.

B239/F2A-1 is basically the earliest Brewster there was. There's absolutely nothing mid/late war about it. Finns had already scored ~80 kills before attack on Pearl Harbor. I've already told you this once. Also it's not "hod rodded" in anyway unless you count the removal of the arrestor hook/other naval gear and the 60hp more power than in the F2A-1 "hod rodding".

Would also be nice if they separated the F4F-3/4 in to separate airframes instead of having that hybrid THING we use now.

I am curious if they did the same thing with the I-16...   Was it the same exact setup in the I-16 between each of those gun packages?  Or was there a variation in the frame (IE: Engine, range, armor, etc.)?

It's not really a F4F-3/4 hybrid but a F4F-4/FM-1 hybrid, if you want to think it that way.

I-16 is a "Type 24/28/29 hybrid". They all had the same M-63 engine so it does make sense in that way.

I wonder why the Navy dumped the Buffalo and went with the F4F?  In AH, which is the superior plane?

My point is, there is a bit of a difference between the two to warrant them being separated I think.

That was something I wasn't actually sure of, which is why I was asking.  Since you clarified that for me, then I agree that having it the way it is now, is valid.
