Seconded, I vote 190A8   :noid  :bolt:
The Fw190A-8, along with every other Fw190, is already updated.

Now, the more traditional Lancaster killer,  the Bf110G-2, does need an update.

I must be Jesus.

Hitech never follows their user schedule unless a vote is passed.

And yet my two wishes last year for updates.

Were the Hurricane. And the Lancaster.......

THANK YOU HITECH... :D

Why do you people keep listing the Bf109E-4 when it has already been done.  Do you actualy like looking unobservant and unreasonable?

Karnak, whilst the 190A8 has been updated, it is still a smurfy example compared to the real shape of the real plane. It's merely a round tube of a fuselage in-game, but was anything but round in real life. It had nearly flat, sloping, sides, and a flat belly. The joint where the fuslage turned into the stabs was almost square in cross section. It makes creating skins which closely map onto certain shapes of the fuselage and sides nearly impossible sometimes. All 190s suffer in the fuselage shape, a serious deficiency.

The 109E is not so grossly inaccurate in shape, but overall I think it could use some updates. The rest of the 109s look better than the E. The spits, also one of the first new models to be updated, need a massive redo to fix the horrid noses on all of them. They all look like they've got gryphon engines, but should have merlins.

I agree old 3D models first, but I would advocate some of the already-remodeled ones need a second attempt.

I agree that some of the 2.0 moxels are in need, particularly the B-24J and the Ki-84-Ia, but the guys on this "Lets pretend the Bf109E-4 is as much need of an update as the C.20X, B-26, Ki-61-I-Tei, Bf110s and Yaks." are being absurd.

(The nose shapes on the two speed two stage Spitfires looks correct to me.  The early ones have too deep a chin, as though they are long range PR models with the larger oil tank.)

Agreed on the absurd part.


P.S. I consider them 3.0. There was an intermediate update between original AH1 and what started with B-24/Ki-84/T-34, but it was a higher resolution better laid out bitmap rather than the hi-poly meshes we have now. I consider that 2.0.

YES!!!!  the quad .30 cal MG's in the tail with boat loads of ammo will be BETTER than the lightly fed dual .50 MG's we have now.  I've wanted this version ever since I've started playing AH in Jan of '08.  Woo Hoo!!!   :)

This is great news!  I hope to see a few more updates or another plane or two before the next version.   :pray   :D

 

Bud    why do i have a starnge gut feeling we will be flying these ALOT!!!!!!! in Dux  :airplane: :rofl

Since this is the Lanc B III, does this mean we'll get the Derp Bomb?
