Probably not a good thing to HO. Wasn't the question though...

Was there an HTC poll on entering the MA? I didn't see it.

If so, I vote for Mosquito FB.Mk XVIII (Tsetse).

If there wasn't an HTC poll, then this thread is just a "What do you want" thread and I stand by the Yamato.

No poll, it just came up in conversation over CH #1.

Had the pics for ages, HS129 75mm looks Evil, Tsetse would be cool if/when we get subs/U-boats which we are maybe soonish maybe according to that interview at the last convention and I found a website earlier today with wrecks of stuff (mostly aircraft) from the Pac region which included a SB with a suspected hit from a B25 75mm gun.

I would vote for.....

All 3

Tsetse gets #1 spot for me tho coz we already have the mossie model so limited work to get a new version out. B25, we would have to get the Doolittle model as well as the 75mm and HS129 is grossly underpowered and a pig to fly from what I have read.

Feel free to contradict me

Tsetse Mossie'd be much, much better than the Hs129. The Tsetse has a speed of 338mph on the deck, 380mph at 13,000ft and an initial climb of about 2,800ftpm. The Hs129 has a top speed of 253mph and an initial climb of about 1,300ftpm.

The Tsetse would also be much easier for HTC to add as 95% of the 3D model is already built.

I'd like to see both, but the Tsetse would be far, far better in the context of the MA.

But the Hs-129 is much tougher

BUG_EAF322 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 29, 2002, 11:20:40 PM »

And this one got a bomb bay
and a tail gunner
only 8 .303 in the nose (expirimental had 2x 20mm)

Karnak · « **Reply #13 on:** June 29, 2002, 11:49:50 PM »

No plane is tough enough to survive. The Hs129 would feel very, very much like the Il-2M we already have. Sure its tough, but that just means that it takes a few more rounds to kill it. Actually killing it is never in doubt.

No, it is much better to be able to out run, or at least significantly delay, your attackers. The Mossie's speed, acceleration and handling more than make up for the difference in durability.

if you want a fast plane w/ a big gun, maybe the Me262 w/ 50mm Mk 214 is for you
