Something thats been buggin me

[Batz]

With AH2:ToD coming its apparent by reviewing the plane set that there are very few "theaters" that can be run. The ones that can be run will need plane substitutions.

The 3 theaters that can be run seem to me to be ETO (mostly late war), BoB and Late Med.

Even with these three we have holes in the planeset.

HT said he plans to run an 8th airforce theater first. Well looking at the planes set the US side are fine with running a '44 set up.

The lw is ok with that but we have an early g6. We can make do with the g10 but then we have an overperforming ac.

Clearly this is the best theater to start with until we get new planes.  

In Bob the lw have the ju88a4 which is a later version then the ju88 and faster. No Do 17s or he111s effect the raf side because they will always be chasing the faster a4. We have a Ju87d-3 that can certainly stand in for a b-2 but it carries a larger bomb load.

I guess what I am saying is will there been any thought into producing new planes by theater to fill out the ones we have or will new planes be released as before.

An early p38, p47c a 109gas, a b24 etc would be great to see for an 8th airforce set up etc....

Pac setup (argueably the favorite of a largee portion of the ah player base) and the eastern front are lacking.

Any thoughts?

We might could do the Rhubbarb thing, also.  Spit5s and Bostons vs. 109Es, 109Fs, and FWa5s (which is a bit later but WTF?)

I beleive HT said that they were realeasing AH2 with no new planes and were going to ad them l8er.

[Batz]

no ****

AH2:ToD isnt "AH2". AH2 is just the next version of AH 1.xx. It will eventual include 2 types of arenas/gameplay. Those being AH2:Classic (current main with the newer art) and AH2:ToD (mission based arena run by theater)

AH2:ToD wont be released for some time after ah2 classic. AH2 classic will be offline for some time after its release.

What I posted has nothing to do the AH2:Classic and for the most part there are very few new planes that would get much air time in the main anyway. So who cares if there are no "new planes" if AH2 is released?

I was talking about filing out the plane set based on theater to get the most out of the mission arena. That has nothing to do with getting new planes when ah2 is released.

I hear 2 weeks after the real AH2, ie. not beta.

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny  iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe. Qiute ture I thnik.

So Btaz: As I unedrtsand it Ah2 wlil not hvae any new palens when it cmoes out frist.  I'm pertty srue that we will olny see new palens afetr both calssic and tod hvae btoh had all of tehir bugs irnoed out .

Anyway enough sillyness:  I'm pretty sure HTC will fill out the planeset a lot once all of this AH2 stuff has been put to bed once and for all.  Patience young Jedi!!!

I believe Gremlin has it right, no new planes until TOD is released. This brings a problem I think, I don't know how HTC is going to address it. TOD is said to be an arena meant to attract a different type of gamer.

If it succeeds, and I hope it does, then there will undoubtably be some/many new players who, like a lot of the current players, know quite a bit about WW2 aviation history.

These new players will want the whole TOD arena to be as historically accurate as possible i.e. the same planes that were used by each side, at that particular point in the war.

Bringing what will be a new game to most of them with an incomplete plane set and substitutions for the actual planes that were used probably won't go over well with them.

It is, after all, marketed as a new game, so most people would expect it to be complete in that regard.

Again, I don't know what HTC has planned so hopefully I'm wrong about all this. I definitely wouldn't want the TOD arena to go belly up so we'll just have to wait and see and have a little faith.
