"let's ditch all late war craft, at least untill all early craft are built":


yah thats basically my point, but also i would think that the planes that are going to be any use in the MA is late (44-45) planes.

I like the system that HTC has in place though. Think about it this way sakai have you noticed that over the last 2-3 versions that we get we get one "MA use plane" and like 4-5 planes that are considered "hanger queens" in the MA. See me and you are in agreement bring on more early war planes and the system that HTC has in place is in our favor.

take for example this version taht is coming out
we are getting
Me-163A-1 Komet = this is that dweeb plane
Tiger-1 = No were near a Ostie it won't harm planes much...
B5N2 Kate = ok this thing has only a back gun as its armerment

we are probably getting another "hanger queen " as the call it in v 1.11

or even look at v1.10
P-40B, P-40E, D3A1, SBD-5, Boston III, A-20G, A6M2, F4F-4, FM2
its all early war planes

v 1.9
Spitfire I, Hurricane I, Bf 109E-4, Bf 110C-4, Bf 110G-2, and Ki-67.
the only thing thats near dweeby in there is the G-2 and thats cuz it has 4x 20mm cannons 2x 30mm cannons

v 1.8
Me-262, Hurricane IIC, Hurricane IID, F4U-1, F4U-4, and Mosquito Mk VI.
and the only dweeb in there is the F4U-4

Couldn't agree more, and if there is one 163 built for every 4 early war planes then sure, I'm happy as a pig in the proverbial poo pile.

I simply cannot fathom why people would ask for an A-bomb or a B-29 in lieu of new fighters or Buffs that flew across a wider front for longer periods (Il-4, Wellington, Hudson).  Society-altering weaponry simply does not bring WWII aerial combat to mind for me.

U seem to think that when they bring your "rocket jet bot future planes",,that these are unlimited and every one uses them...

Ya liek we see the furballaof me262' severynight..o yaa i rmeber you always see this...LMFAO

Ill hold bak my true words cause i wil just get kiked out of the BB

but i will quote you again....


Quote
No one wants to fly buffs anyway, so instead of a great MA plane like the ki-84, we have the plane no one flies!


Please stand up for what u say??So no one flys buffs?? You are compltly wrong and un top of that ...well you fill in the blank swith a demeaning duragatory comment:)  Dam we should ban you from speeaking again with that remark..Im love buffs...and cant wai tti shhot you down....
I will leave an open invitation ..I will DUEL YOU ANY TIME ..u pick what ever plane you want..Ill fly B-17....and I will Kill u good...


Do you have a good reason for not allowing full war planes?? O yaa u want all the Old war planes in first??..Thx God you arent running HTC!!

its is very nice to be able to pick a VARIETY of planes to choose from.....and yes some planes may need perk points to fly..example(B-29...)

and when you start mixing in ..me163 and you say B-36.. thats a load of crap...one plane saw atual combat ion ww2..1 did not..so please try no to stray form the real world


AND GOOOOOO A-BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1,000 bomer Perks...!!!

(just think Sakai,,since you cant bom w/ a toejam..all you need to do is fly 100 goon misions and drop drunks)!!!!you too can have a aAbomb....bu tdont worry..im sure you will crash into trees at end of rnwy in b-29..lololollololol

Of course there are one or two people who routinely fly Buffs and I myself try them out time and again, but compared to say Air Warrior?  No, not in any real sense are buffs (outside of the A-20 and the little attack planes like the TBM or such items) flown.  Every person that I know who did fly buffs has dropped out or, like Flo, has gone to GVs.  

Now, if you go to teh CT, which is an ideal setting, you see many, many more bomber sorties than you do in the MA.  Half the enemy I saw last night were bombers, so if you like bombing you should get on my bandwagon.  

I see Heavies and Meds about, I'd say, 2% to perhaps as much at rare times when my squad ups in Ju88s 30% (for that one run) as much as I did in AW.  If you feel that equates to some real "usage", then sure.  Since we're speaking of larger concepts than just your personal ride of choice, I'd ask you to look outside your perspective and know that gaming the product excessivley to counter rockret planes, B-29s and A-bombs would end this product for me and a great many others.  It's the idea of aerial combat that is intoxicating to us (and this would include bombing, ship to shore and CV to CV action, strafing ground targets, etc.) and A-bombs have nothing to do with that, nothing.  Again, they are society-transforming weapons.  Try to place that in the context of the small Aces High arena.  

I can almost see an argument for the B-29, they made a ton of them, but rocket planes like the Me-163?  It was a disaster (killed many of its pilots, had little or no success), why waste the resources on modeling it?  Because we don't want an aerial combat game?  Right, I know you don't, I simply don't see why if you don't want an aerial combat game you don't play somethig else?  

You see the point, and thanks for the duel challenge, I am sure you would shoot me down, I've never professed to be a good or even average pilot.  I'm sure you're an excellent pilot and I look forward to seeing you up some time.

ahh Salute Sakai..didn no claim to be EXcellent pilot..but i aam  good..and in buffing ..and gunning in buffs..im at the top..

anyways..that does not matter..

I ABSOLUTLY LOVE dogfights..so i m down for ftr vs ftr...But if you nevr go to attak large buff formations in ur lttle ftr..you haven experinced tru heart pumping...in the TOD's..i have had some of my best -And worst times...

Sheer Terror..and Fast paced fighting..too Extrem bordem for an hour not seeing 1 nme....

My heart rate incresed one day whil fighting ibn TOD..1 life to live sets all different level of flying

But i still dont undrstand why u are so against new planes ..ones you dont like....If it flew in combat ion WW2...then bring it....yes some may need perks ..some dont..but dotn use your  personnel feelings to judge what should and shouldn tbe in AH...

Hopefully..and ill pray..AH will still be here..in 10 years..this game will have almost everydam plane that flew in ww2 available fo rus to fly when ever we want....from your Fairway Swordfish too the B-29.Super Deathstar!!!

Love BiGB

By the way BigB, your spelling, as well as your grammar, is atrocious ;)

johnny..you forget his breath too.  One addition to Innominate's post---Komet had 18 min fuel (presumeably NO throttle as it was a rocket, and not a jet)---the scale in AH would give it like 5 min fuel? 18 min quite a long time
