Thanks for posting the news.  I sent this request to support@htcblahblah:

This may be asking a bit much, but would you consider adding a small area in the interior of the cockpits where we could position a picture of loved ones?  I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to see a picture of my loved ones in my cockpit...just for the total immersion that the picture would provide.  I'm SURE real pilots have pictures somewhere in their cockpits.  

Please consider this!!!  It would be an awesome feature.

Thank you!

Man, I was gonna submit the film of my first chute kill in AHII, but the film editor doesn't display the chutes!  I guess y'all will just have to stick with lame plane on plane action. ;)

We also have a number of variants that we haven’t done yet and we’ll be using this process as a way to expedite getting those done. So planes with obvious variants that are still unseen in AH like the P-38 will be prime candidates to be reworked sooner rather than later.



w00t!  That's the best news I've heard in a long, long time.

Ack-Ack .. when I was at the con talking to Pyro about this, he sounded very excited to do the P-38 ... I am hoping, and put in my request for the H Model.

You could do the G and kind of average the F and H, though the differences are not that great for any pre J series as I recall so I'm not sure it would matter much for the CT or scenarios. He might have to do whatever one he has the most data on, unless they make more calculations for variants.

I thought you'd say something like that.

I posted data I found on the 'net in this thread:
http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=131746

Are the armor penetration values correct?  It seems very surprising that the Panzer IV H's gun penetrates armor so much better at a 30° impact angle than the T-34/76 (43)'s gun does at a 90° impact angle.

T34...Cool Beans, I like the choice Pyro made hear, it will be a good match lethality wise aganst our Panzer IV. While the Panzer IVH has a Better gun the T34 has Better armor, so the two should face off nicely.

 Though I suspect the T34 will be a favorate of ground atack planes do to its lack of AA defense.

The T-34 should climb hills alot better than the 2 tanks we have now, and that matters when you are trying to get somewhere :)


cant wait to get the puter finished and sign up again :) :) :) :)

Hyrax that was about 1 1/2 hours of the Q & A at the con. Did anyone post about that for those that were not there? A lot of questions were answered. Sorry you missed it.

Thanks for the update Pyro. :)

It's noteworthy they'll be outsourcing some stuff after all.
Good to see a good stretch of short cycle updates while we ramp up to TOD.
