Title: 20 models that would make history fans happy...
Post by: sparow on February 03, 2007, 05:08:59 PM

Hi all,

After my day-dreaming about naval warfare in AH, I made a list of the 20 models that would make all historical fans happy.

Fighters:
Bell P-39 Airacobra, Curtiss 75 / P36 Hawk, Dewoitine D520 and Polikarpov I-16.

Special models:
Fairey Swordfish, Fiat CR42, Gloster Gladiator and Polikarpov I-153.

Transport models:
Junkers JU52

Seaplanes and flyingboats:
Blohm & Voss BV138, Consolidated PBY catalina, Kawanishi H8K "Emily" and Short Sunderland.

Light Bombers:
Curtiss SB2C Helldiver

Medium Bombers
Bristol Blenheim, Heinkel HE111, Mitsubishi G4M "Betty", B-25 Mitchell, Petlyakov PE-2, Savoia-Marchetti SM79 "Sparviero" and Tupolev TU-2.

If these models were introduced, AH planeset would be able to cover the whole 1939 to 1944 period, giving the Finnish, Soviet, Italian, French and Japanese airforces a better setup for historical setups. It would also give to British, German and American airforces some important models, closing many gaps, like the lack of the HE111 or the Hawk

It's a dream, I know, but I like dreaming...

all,

Sparrow
249 Sqn RAF "Gols Coast"

Why dont you just use 88's and ditch a few torp's? That list would take YEARS to crreate! I would love to see a few of those planes in, but Im not expecting them for a looooooong time. I.e, 2 weeks.

Entirely aside from the time it would take, don't forget that developing computer models of those planes costs HTC money. They would require taking programmer time from other projects, and the programmers and graphic artists DO expect to get paid.

And that's all worth the cost, IF the additions add to play value and fun. But it does make it hard to justify spending money on models that will hardly ever leave the hangar.
