Place Your Bets

Anyone care to wager what HTC's next aircraft addition to AH will be?  This will be of their own choosing, not by vote.  This also does not refer to a re-model of an existing aircraft.

Based on recent additions to the aircraft set I believe HTC is trying to "fill the gaps", so to speak.  The He111, Ki-43 "Oscar", and Yak-7B all point to historical values vs MA "wants".  The same can be said for the revamp of the Zeke's, P40's, Hurricane's, and Yaks.  Based on that I'm betting that HTC will be adding a level Soviet bomber sooner than later, be it SB-2, IL-4, Tu-2, or Pe-2.  IMO, the lack of a level Soviet bomber is the largest and most glaring hole in the AH planet set.

What say you?

I'm guessing the Boomerang or Beaufighter, however I want the G.55 and Re.2005 added.

Planes: Anything really. I don't care what comes in next.


GV's: StuG III. I wish to know why the Hetzer was placed above the StuG to begin with.

You and me both, the StuG III offers a lot more flexibility in terms of off-shoot variants then the Hetzer does.  I'll give HTC the benefit of the doubt for now.

Oh, and remember folks this isn't so much of a "I wish" thread as it is a your "gut feeling" thread. I'd like to see the Meteor III as well, but I don't think we'll get it soon unless it is voted in.

Gut feeling:

Beaufighter or Tu-2 or A-26 or some GV.

I don't want any new planes. I haven't figured out how to fly all of the ones we have!

Boomerang has no place in this game. A plane that was so slow it never got a single kill on any other enemy plane, despite trying. A plane with no ord loadout to the point it was dropping smoke bombs to tell OTHER planes right behind it (F4Us) where to drop. In short, it was an infantry strafer from sheer lack of other uses for an airframe that just couldn't cut it in WW2. It was a knockoff design from a british design (re-engined and with guns added), and overall would be about as representative of the WW2 combatants in Aces High as the Model T Ford would be for tankers in this game.
