Ten reasons why we need the Gladiator in Aces High
1) So the Macchi players know what a bad view really is. (2 Wings in the way and canopy frames...Wheeeeeee)
2) Gives the Gooney Birds something they can actually outrun.
3) No need to worry if the gear is down... It is.
4) Lets you re-map that pesky W.E.P. button to something useful. (Like Way to HO me you useless chute shooting NikDweeb/ SpitDweeb/ LA-7 Dweeb, macro)
5) Gladiator pilots never have to decide whether to stay and fight or run away... At a Gladiators top speed... Your staying.
6) 3 Gladiators (supposedly, Faith, Hope, and Charity.) Defended Sicily against the Luftwaffe.... Always fun to hear a new Luftwhine demanding a perk. (I think, btw that is a wives tale about the 3 Gladiators)
7) Gives HiTech some practice in bi-planes, before modeling the Swordfish for that great Sink the Bismark scenario.
8) GladiatorDweeb does not roll off the tongue well and takes to long to type.
9) No need to wonder if you can glide back to base... With all those wings... You can't.
and finally
10) Gives the Zero's something to boom and zoom against.
