He111 is HERE!!!!!!!!

[skorpx1]

clearly this is a self-centered desire ultimatley fulfilled and not a longstanding community wishlist item....

 

You can't be serious. I'd much rather have all of the AH1 standard planes brought up to AH3 standards over having hangar queens introduced as well.

Maybe adding the Yak-3 along with those visual updates too...

" all of the AH1 standard planes brought up to AH3 standards "

Stop there before another one of you bandwagoners repeat that line and you'll answer your own gripe/complaint.

The models currently in this game that are still modeled in an AH1 standard, are:

Add a new plane, people complain about not updating the old planes.  Update an old plane, people complain about not adding new planes.

Maybe they should both add new planes and update old planes? 

*Looks at the last two updates on the front page*

[Ack-Ack]

The He-111 will be used a lot in the first week or two that its in game, especially in the LWA. Even a Spit 5 could bring that thing down with ease. If it were a different model of the 111, like the H-10, maybe it'd be a lot more dangerous to the attackers in the MA's.

The primary reason for the He-111H being added is to fill much needed gaps in early ETO scenarios for the Luftwaffe bombers and not just for MA use.  The fact that the HE-111H will plug a glaring hole in early ETO scenarios (i.e. BoB) is a good reason alone to add it.  There is more to this game than just the main arenas.

There's the entire list of planes that need to be updated. That's 21 planes total, and we have about 100-ish planes in game? That's nearly 25% of all planes still at AH1 standards.

Looks to be pre-H6. No MG/FF in the nose.

MG/FF in the nose was a field mod only, not standard.

Not arguing with your list, just noting that we have over 100 planes, GVs, and boats in this game. That would make it 20% more than 25%.

Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

Air-dropped V-1s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Youtube: "Dark Blue Sky Angelis" to find the video.

The movie is actually "Dark Blue World" about Czechoslovak pilots.

scorpx1,

The T-34/76 was among the first three AH2.0 units and the T-34/85 came later.

You also left the Tempest Mk V off of your list.

We have nothing to compare or supliment the He111 in the game, yet we have two yak models, clearly this is a self-centered desire ultimatley fulfilled and not a longstanding community wishlist item....

Then what about the 205 or any number of other planes as just listed, why was IL2 updated instead of Yak? If HT had put together a plan to update 3 pre existing aircraft for ever 1 new plane then entire set would of been completed years ago. Instead we get 3 hangar queens for every plane that is updated.

Not saying don't bring in new toys, just give updating entire AH1 plane set priority compared to every new fighter,buff,gv etc..

Did we really need the Storch compared to updating the 205?

Gixer, they havent stopped updating the old stuff. Didn't you see the lancaster screenshots just before the He111 screenshots?

They're not stopping the update of old ones to add new ones. They're doing both, and far more quickly than they used to update planes. They can afford to add a new (much needed) plane once in a while.

[Gixer]

Look how many years it's been since AH2 was released. Just stating that priority should of been given to updating all existing AH1 planes to AH2 before releasing new planes,buffs,gv's if 3 AH1 planes had been updated for every 1 new toy then entire set would of been completed years ago. Then HT could start focusing on the more important stuff like a Storch.

And how often in a year is the BoB played out in early ETO scenarios? LW MA love it or hate it is where all the planes get most of their use, and the HE-111 won't be any more popular than the JU88 after a few weeks. Just like the ME410, everyone all excited to see the 410 but once they realised it wasn't the uber gun platform for easy kills they thought it would be, was quickly discarded after a few weeks.

Of course you probably don't care since you already have 3 versions of the updated  P38
