Whats the plan for implementing Theaters?
« on: February 28, 2003, 05:58:30 PM »
I hope this question is asked frequently enough:   Will ToD start out initially ETO only, as was planned for the MT?   Or are you taking the extra time to make sure you can implement ETO/PTO/MTO/Eastern Front all at once?

While we're at it - serious replies only to this one:  Are there any Japanese plane additions planned for AH2?  If so, what specifica models do you absolutely plan on doing first?

Thanks!

The last word was there will be different "theaters" but not different "arenas" for each "theater". I suspect they will rotate in between theaters like they do set ups in the ct. I dont know if they will do it by tour (monthly) or by some other "condition". Its also unknown whether the theaters will follow the timeline of the war.

I am not sure about different "avatars" for each "theater". So far its been mentioned that you will get 2 "avatars", 1 axis; 1 allied.

Any Pac or East Front "theater" lacks the necessary planeset to make anything but maybe a midway or solomon islands set up or late war East Front . Even then the planeset is limited.

Prior to the announcement of AH2 the Ht mentioned an 8 th Airforce setup for the mt. I dunno if that changed. But I would suspect a BoB, late war ETO or maybe a med set up would be first.

Or they could surprise us altogether and introduce new planes.

I personally have a Med or East Front bias.

I can understand starting out that way from a pure business expense pov ... but it'd be nice to see different arenas for different TOs eventually. Some pilots may prefer to stick with a specific avatar with a specific background without having to alternate ... especially if the aircraft they prefer doesn't "cross over" from one theater to another.

 Of course ... the Pac needs some fleshing out anyway. I expect a focus on the European TO initially. I'm willing to bide my time for the Pac with any promising words of encouragement from the management.
