B-model with DB603G engines and you got a deal.

Urchin · « **Reply #4 on:** July 23, 2001, 07:18:00 PM »

I'd love to have both of those in the game!

SWulfe,

What does the Wildcat have to do with the Me410 and Mosquito? It doesn't even serve close to the same role.

Why request yet another American aircraft, in this case one that would add nearly nothing to the game due to the presence of the Hellcat, in a thread about two completely different aircraft?

If you are interested in the F4F-3 Wildcat, start a thread pertaining to it.

Thanks.

He already did that. Now he's infecting other threads with his evil Wildcat plans for world domination!

Btw, I assume you remove your sig when posting in threads not pertaining to the Mosquito?

Karnak · « **Reply #7 on:** July 24, 2001, 12:57:00 AM »

Juzz,

No, but I don't seek out threads about other aircraft only to post a request for an entirely different aircraft in the body of my message. I especially don't do so without even mentioning anything about the aircraft the thread is about.

He could have simply said something like "No, I don't think that either the Me410 or Mosquito should be added. Neither will bring anything to the MA and there are enough German and British aircraft already. I would prefer HTC to work on other things."

But instead he hijacked the thread.

I'd love to see the Mosquito added. Vroooooooom! (er, no. I'm not 10

)

AKSWulfe · « **Reply #9 on:** July 24, 2001, 07:40:00 AM »

The difference between me posting "I don't think these aircraft will be used much in the MA, but for scenarios they may be great" and me simply posting a link to a PDF document about F4F-3 is that you don't have to read it/download it if you don't want to.

I didn't hijack this thread, I threw in what I think would be a better plane for the MA. It was used in WB a lot, why not here?

Anyways, back to your regularly scheduled uber fest.

EDIT: And as Juzz pointed out I did start my own thread, in the proper forum: Aircraft and Vehicles!

SWulfe,

An explanation of why you put that info in here makes it much more understandable.

Yes, I saw the thread on the F4F.

These are both 1943 aircraft. Nothing "Uber" about them.

Lol, I can't believe you said we don't need the Wildcat because we already have the Hellcat!

I'd rather have the F4F than almost any other plane that could be added, or that we already have.

They're both more uber than a F4F-3!

Not like it matters whether or not I "hijack" this thread, HTC adds planes as they see fit.

Swulfe,

Yeah, but a A6M2 is ubër compared to an F4F-3.

Yes, HTC will add aircraft as they see fit, but you and I, like many others, will express what we would like to see. Maybe you'll get lucky in 1.08, maybe I will, most likely something else entirely will be added.

I was just throwing in a pitch for my airplane in addition to these planes. Otherwise I would of said "instead please model this..."

Don't worry Karnak, I'm not a one plane monger... the more the better. I just like me some Wildcat the most!
