This game is so missing a B-24...its able to carry a heavier bombload and more B24's were produced than B-17's.....So why not?

Because the US has a tom of freaking aircraft, it has the B17 and their are countries more in nead of a bomber than the US in AH. A B24 would suck up a huge amount of production time( at least 4 fighter planes worth), and the engery is sorly neaded elsewhear.

Plane production numbers are also irevelent in determing what planes get built in AH.

But how well the aircraft is known is...big numbers means big media coverage...there is plenty of footage of B-24s in combat. Were there not very well known aircraft in Aces High v1.0?

Was it not the P-51D, PT Boat, F4U Corsair, and other well known aircraft that first dotted the light blue skies and overflew the bright green terrain of the Main Arena for months until 1.01 was released??

Well wouldnt bombers be worth it? afterall the a huge part of WWIIOL was bomber dependent...they were used to take out factories and such...shouldnt this be the case in here instead of Air Quake?

I mean...you dont very often see strategic bombers flying around in game....I know I love to fly them...but you still dont see very many....But bombers were the mainstay of the Airwar in WWII.

Sometimes I just fly around the arena in a B-17 waiting for someone to call for help on a city or airbase...

BangerAK,

Adding the B-24 won't increase the number of people flying bombers significantly.

The next multi engine bomber we get should be a Russian bomber.

We also need an early war American bomber, an early war Japanese bomber and a mid or late war German bomber.

An Italian bomber would be useful too.

-He111 would be nice...
-IL-2 is a Russian bomber....was definately most manufactured Russian bomber...
-Perhaps a Betty would be nice...but needs to be a flamer, just like the real was!!

The effect of the Stratgic bombing campaigne has been highly debated for over 50 years now, as karnak said adding another Buff is not going to make more people fly them in the MA. Thier was a lot more going in the Air War in WW2 than just the stratgic bombing campaigne over Germany.

The Russians could realy use a TU-2 not some midwar cannon foder platform, somthing deadly and compeative like the TU -2 would be better. The Il-2 is not realy a bomber it is a ground atack plane.

The He 111 would be a compleat wast of time we have the best early war German buff presently the JU 88.

We do not nead another Japanese Buff imo espichaly a Betty, an Emily howeaver would be cool, but It would suck up some serious production time, howeaver it has much more merit than adding a B24 in that it would bring a new aspect to Gameplay.

An Italian bomber would be nice howeaver I must say I dont think it's going to happen.

hehe oohh no brady will say not him again!!!!! hehehe,,just jokin:P,,,people want a realistic ww2 flight sim {if there worthless or not,}they should be in here,, neither plane was worthless or useless,,every full production ww2 bird should be in aces high,,im for all of them!!,,lol

brady · « **Reply #9 on:** February 15, 2003, 12:50:26 PM »

hyena426, well maybe in a perfect world whear AH turns out new planes as fast as Il-2 does we might see all these realy neat toys, until then I am going to get on my soap box and champigne the cause for the filling of wholes in the planes set that exist.

well,there is no denying that the most produced planes should of been here first,,then the late planes should of come,,,now its all messed up,,because most of late planes were here before the early ones,, and it should of been othere way around,,p40,,,,f4f,,,,stuka,,,he111,,,bf109e,,,planes like that should of been the first ones here,,instead of the last,,its like aces high went back in time,,instead of foward,,lol

and i agree with you brady,,there are holes in the plane set that cant be fixed easily,,and wont any time soon<~~happy with what we got allready,,but i just hope atleast the most popular ww2 birds get in here first,,,i have alot of people ask me why a b24 is not in here,,only thing i can say is,,i guess its because usa gots too many planes!!,,lol and in real life they did,,usa over produced everyone in numbers and diffrent types of craft
