Make New Rule For Late WWII Models

[smoe]

I would like to make a new rule. Instead of allowing only WWII planes that have scene combat in the game, how about allowing some stock planes which the Reno Air Races classifies as a WWII fighters? I.E. P-51H Mustangs, F-8F Bearcats and Hawker Sea Fury's. A lot of late model missing fighters were combat ready before WWII ended.

There really are quite a few neat, usable aircraft with interesting histories that were used during WWII and that have yet to be added.  We really aren't at the point where the only things that could be used in the MA are post war super fighters.

Ya we have enough super fighters as it is. I think the trend should go the other way. Add incentives to those aircraft less capable so we see more of those in the cartoon skies.

+1 for this. -1 for the OP.

Agree with Karnak. First off, there remains many AH models that need to be brought up to AH2 standards. There remains a lot of aircraft/vehicles (and variants) throughout the course of WW2 that AH does not have in game yet that have served in combat in numbers.

I do not think it is wise to open the door to post WW2 craft. That goes beyond what the original theme and purpose of this game is. Also, in order to really appreciate what HTC (and the players who submit skins of AC/GV's) has to go through to thoroughly research, create, model, and implement the vehicles that we enjoy, you would have to experience the tediousness of it yourself. I think the system works fine as it is.

Another thing to consider is that as more capable rides are added it makes it harder for the usable, but not top end, rides.  The F8F is better than the Spit XVI, but the Spit XVI has a chance against it. A C.205 is really in a bad place against a Spit XVI, but against an F8F it is completely screwed.  Even added as perk planes they have an impact, felt more harshly by the older units and that dampens the desire to even try the older units because of the chance of meeting a super fighter.

quote from fugitive "add incentives to those aircraft less capable so we see more of those in the cartoon skies."

I propose Hitech add "perks per sortie" as an incentive to fly less capable planes.

There's just not enough no for this.

World war Two was fought with the first 3 years of Aircraft: P-40, Spitfire, 109s.

P-51H for example might of been in production, but it didn't do squat - plenty of other aircraft flew combat and served their purpose before we start adding aircraft that didn't even change the war effort.

Thanks Zoney...now the original request makes scents.  

-1 on OP. I'm told this game is about equipment that saw combat in WW2 in squadron strengths. That seems to be a very reasonable premise and they still have plenty of legitimate combat aircraft to add.

Is it time to plug the J2M already again?
