Why no Ju87
« on: February 21, 2002, 07:53:24 AM »
I was just wondering...Why is there no Ju87 or anyone talking about wanting one. I understand they are slow and would be out matched by most other aircraft, or is it just a waste of time to have them in the game.:confused:

Would be very cool if we get a dive siren to go on the JU87. Imagine you're in the tower of a field under attack. I'd just sit there and listen to the attack while my field gets pummeled. :)

OK :) Im gonna be fair with you because you seem to be new to the comunity... Well in Aces High, anything you want is always just 2 weeks away... But anything is possible and don't forget that full list of changes and new toys that gonna be included in 1.09 was not yet announced... We know about 5? new planes coming to 1.09 (109E, 110C?, Hurri Mk. 1, Spit Mk. 1 and the Jap. bomber) well plus we know that some older planes will recieve some facelifts.

At the other hand 109E, Spit 1 and Hurri 1 are just modifications of models we already have in the game so the 3D models didnt take much problems to make (IMHO), Jap bomber and the 110 are new additions. Personaly I hope at least for 1 more aircraft and/or ground vehicle that has not yet been announced. You never know what those guys at HTC are cooking... :D

eh :) thanks straffo

Actually I wanted to write that but I somehow got busy wit the other idea and completely forgot to explain that...

Yes straffo is right - 2 weeks is just an pretty old joke around here...


But do you know where did this '2 weeks' period came from? It was the time needed by HiTech and the rest of the great HTC ppl to write the first ever version of AH (included are coding time, testing, recovery from hangover followed by the release of first ever AH Beta) :p

Just wonder whether the hangover ever faded? :D

I see thanks for straighten that out fer me. Yes i am a newbie. Sorry for that, but is there a reason why they have not added it to AH. I am sure that there is a wishlist that everyone has and the Ju87 is on it. (like P-40, P-39 etc). I just wanted to know would there be a reason for not have this plane in AH, and if so why?

the reason can be (as far as I know ,in no perticuliar order)

It doesn't fit the current MA nor it's needed for a scenario currently.

It take a lot of time to add a plane (performance control , 3 D model ...)
Current day don't last more than 24 hour (sadly ;))

and so on ...

Although the flight model would be easy to put together, the big sticking point is the dive siren.  The programming resources required to simulate the nausea and loss of confidence for ground troops being divebombed is just too high at this point :)

That statement was in jest :) Actually, would love to hear a Stuka come diving in on me in an M3!
