Get the He-111 and the Brewster Buffalo, what will be next? That's like the two most requested things I've seen so far.

Yeah, no question. Were getting the Soviet bomber. Its the only major power not represented with a level bomber in what was the most heavily contested front in the war. Imagine the opportunites for special events with the addition of a Soviet bomber. P-39s, LAs, IL-2s, Yaks, TU-2s?? All against the Luftwaffe, and with major tank battles also going on??

It would be glorious! The history behind it makes me giddy just thinking about it.

I never wished for the P-39. But these pages were filled with all who did. You mean they arent actually flying it?

The TU-2 has all the ingrediants to be a highly successful medium bomber/attacker in Aces High. Its fast, has a good bombload, and is decently defended. Its almost a hybrid of the better qualities of the other mediums already in the game. Performance of the KI-67, nimble as a Mossie, bombload of a B-26 or even a JU-88, it was quite probably the best medium bomber of the war.

Besides we dont have a Russian bomber.

OK, I'll take the bait.  Can't pull up the game on the computer that I am using, but for the life of me I can't figure out which bomber we have that is Russian.  Unless you mean that the LA's can drop bombs.

Running through the list.

Not talking about the IL2. I was talking about the lend leased A20, B25, and Boston Mk IIIs. They may not have been made in Russia but they were used by them so they are "Russian bombers".

Post by: macleod01 on January 20, 2009, 11:22:43 AM
Ive got a funny feeling that its going to be a random plane, that hasnt really been requested all that often. I think its going to be the I-16. We got the Brewster (Hasn't been announced officially, but why else would Pyro be looking for all the info he can get about it eh?) for the finns, so I think they're fleshing out the EW Russ-finn war plane set. The I-16 would fit perfectly into that catagory, and also flesh out the mediocre EWA plane set. At the moment that arena is using up resources that could be used in better ways, and its unpopulated 90% of the time. I believe that HTC is trying to get people in there to make it worth their time having it open. Therefore the I-16 would be a logical inclusion.

p.s, Im hoping for the HE111  :aok

They were American bombers used by the Soviets. If this kind of criteria is used then a lot of airplanes and vehicles should have been left out, including "all" the Russian made ones.

He-111 and  Brewster buffalo are both crap airplanes and will do nothing for LW Main, MW and hardly a thing for EW which should be scrapped for WWl planes or a moderated by the people arena(CM's and such) with certain plane sets changed weekly. On the other hand, the guys from FSO might like them entering but would hate to fly them after they've been unveiled for a month or so.

The only four that make sense are B-29, A26, P39 and Yak3 at this time.

Every word of this is my opinion only so it's ok to trash me.

They may be crap planes, but if we only go for the best, why do we still have the Stuka, the Spit 1, the Hurri 1, BF 109E4, BF 110C, JU88 etc. I could continue my list for a while more. Heck, remove all planes except the LA7, Spit 16, P51, Lancaster and B24. Simple fact is that nothing will be done about the current waste of space that is EWA. Thats a fact. Now, if more EW planes are added (Brewster and HE111) it may attract more people into this arena. Its a shot I would try if I was HT. He has business from the LW, but he has an arena that is using up resources for nothing. If I were him, I would try and make SOME sort of attempt to get people in there, make it worth his time having it open.

Meant the Cobra BTW


Another thing bigger than new AC would be finding a way to clear tower sitters out. Nothing aggravates me more than to not be able to get in an arena because some guy is saving a spot for himself after he gets home from work, store, movies ,dinner or whatever.
I have seen 172 people all in one country sitting in the tower doing nothing just recently because they feel it's the only way to beat the caps. the numbers fluctuated of course but on average there was a steady 120+ AFK players for hours that night in orange.

Have you not been paying attention to what is going on in EW. It's all about the hurricane in there. Why add more planes into that set that no one will fly? IF ANYTHING, they should remove the Hurri.... then people might venture in there to fly the early birds more often.

No, I dont often go in the EW, simple fact being that I like to actually get a fight. Seeing one or two people in an arena (Im from Europe btw) doesnt inspire me to go in there. If the HE 111 is added, I will happily fly it in all arena's.
