Title: P47N question
Post by: Loddar on July 18, 2005, 05:13:25 PM
Why do we get the P47N :confused:

Is the D11, D25 and D40 is not enough ?

I thought they were enough. There was an argument for early p47s (the C), but I can't see any reason at all to include another late-war plane that caters to the wants of a vocal minority (dig intended :P)

WHY would anyone complain about getting a new plane , the p47 was next on the list to get reworked. IT is much easier to add a new plane when they are redoing the model . Most other plane types have a late war variant , why not the jug?

Ahem! Why not add Ki-84-1-b too?

Maybe we will the next time the KI-84 goes through a major mod.  As I understand it, the P-47's were getting face lifts, so it is easier to add an additional model of the same type (P47) than another model of a different type.  Just be glad we didn't get another P-51.  :)

During the 190 revamp, we didn't get an A3 or A4, nor did we get a R11 or R13. Not only did they not fix the Ta152, they didn't even touch it. But all is not lost, we got the P47N. :rolleyes:

Anybody want a late war P47 ? I agree
such much to redo all planes but P47D-40
is a 44er i think. We allready have the late
war variant.

The C model is better but i think HT decide
we don't use it with all those late war
flyers.

Btw, CT arena can be closed, nobody
in there.

Silly people!

Ofcouse the N is needed.

Would be great with a 190 A3 and some sort of seaplane, but the guys at HTC wont just stop making planes so at some point they will get here.

Heck yeah!  Been askin HT and Co. for one for over 4 years now.  Even went so far as to ask the big man himself face to face back in June 2001 when and if we would get an M or N model.  
It's long overdue IMHO.

rgr that , i for one am very happy to see the N. The p47 was a very significant plane to the allies , now it only needs a C model to be complete IMHO .     38

I personally love the 47. I took it out for the first time today and came back with 8 heads - despite having been shot to **** and outzooming a Spit 9.

Hoorah heavy iron!

The only Given in any of this, that is the adation of a new plane, is some folks are gona be un-happy about the choice that is made, I imagine (or I hope) HTC is sorta beyond being bothered by this, for their sake.

 Having said that, imo this was a piss pore choce, my gues is someone gave HTC a chunk of their lottery winnings and hear we are, some being happy and others not, clearly this plane adds very little in the way of TOD usfullnes, not any usefullness for any kind of event or the CT, it is just another late war US fanboy toy for the MA, but this does speak to a big slice of the player base, so their may some method to the madness after all:)

I'm curious as to why they picked the N over the M.  The N is really just a D-40 carrying more fuel.  The M on the other hand... now that would've been a late war plane worth drooling over.  By the way... have we now moved so that late '44 is no longer considered "late war"?

Agree that late war term no longer is in
the late 44s with some perk 45ers.

It's a good choice to bring the N over the
M P47, because we will have the M, nobody
needs a Me262 in the MA which
cost ~300 PPs
