1946 arena, and yes I know, it's low on the list
« on: May 07, 2014, 08:04:16 PM »
 In my threads on the M26 and 162, people mentioned a 1946 arena, and I thought it might be a good addition and even attract more players. AC could include the HE-162D, the TA/FW-183 high-alt interceptor,HO-229, vampire mk1, P-80, and the jet replacement for the Stuka. Feel free to make more suggestions.Also, GVs could include the Maus, IS3, E-100, and latter models of the M26.

I have nothing against this, it would take a while to model though.
By the way, mind telling me what the jet version of the Stuka was?

Same here, while I agree with the OP it isn't high on the list. I don't see much of a reason why we couldn't have it.  But I think it would go 'out of bounds' of the "WWI & WWII combat simulator" that HTC has on their front page. Considering 1946 is after WWII.  :D

Can't remember its name, but was similer in appearance to the 162 with the pilot laying down so he could take more gs.

True, but combat in 1946 wouldn't fall under WW2 air combat considering 1946 was a year after the war ended.

We still have dozen's of planesets to finish, I'd rather complete a WWII set before moving on to another Arena. Also again the M-26 and He-162 are 1945 fighters. We would not need a 1946 arena for them.

Only problem is they are so far down on the list I would vote a 1939 fighter (polish) before I would a He-162.

I loved and still enjoy IL2 Sturmovik 1946.
But not for the late war monsters but for the 109E7  :D

A 1946 arena I don't think would be as much fun as a Korean War arena. wonderful balance of F86 and MiGs  :D

A KW arena would basically be just a Sabre vs MiG thing. Or a Sabre and Panther vs a MiG thing. Ok, lots of UN hardware vs a MiG thing. Still ....
