Title: Expected return of TBM ??
Post by: The TBM guy on December 11, 2003, 03:09:36 PM
I started playing Aces High 2 weeks ago mainly to fly the Avenger. Much to my dismay, it has been pulled. When is it coming back, and will the paper tail be fixed too ? :)

considering that the tbm has been in play for over a year and it was never found this bug i dont see that it is a bug worth pulling the plane from play for.

Better it not be here than 15 guys a night exploiting with it.

I was hoping it could be fixed. I only got to fly it one night when I joind AH, then it was gone. I agree  though, I wouldn't want a bugged plane flyable if it was going to be exploited.

That simply isn't the case. I capped a field with a TBM one time, ended up with 7 kills. Even the lowly TBM can abuse most fighters if they get too slow.

The joy of flying a bomber as a fighter comes from the utter shock and dismay when you beat the daylights out of fighters and land the kills. There are enough unskilled players out there to make the TBM a profitable ride. In a low-speed furball, it's very capable.

A TBM loaded with rockets can shut down a small airfield as well as a fighter can. Pump one rocket into anything trying to take off, then strafe anyone else foolish enough to try their luck.

Remember, it's not necessarily the quality of the aircraft, but the quality of the pilots that counts.

Ever hunt Mustangs with an SBD at 20k+? It's a hoot!

My regards,

Widewing

Will any repairs or refinements be made to the version we are playing now, or will it be left to rot on the vine?

As a general rule, most guys flying a P-51 up around 20-25k probably aren't very good. That's why they're up there in the first place!
