Title: What happened to the Lancaster???!! Pyro promised!
Post by: Gorf on April 30, 2000, 02:40:00 PM
WEll,
When I heard that new planes were coming out in new versions I thought GREAT finally the Lancaster!  WRONG!! Instead we are getting;

FW190A-5(not a Luft fan but this one will be fun)

A6M5B  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif) BEEN DoNE  NEXT!!

Yak9U  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Will be fun for awhile but.WB has done a Yak9 already... NEXT!  

M3 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)  BRING IT on!!

SO, out of the 3 aircraft .. only 1 (FW190A-5) will be worth the wait.  I thought HTC wanted AH to be unique with planes that have not been done or not done a lot by other online sims.  I mean we got the LA5, the Maccis', the Typhoon, B-26.  Lets keep the ball rolling on this uniqueness.  My pics for next version would be:

FW190A-5(keep)
YAK9U(replace with a P-63,lend lease)
A6M5B(replace with something else Japanese)
LANCASTER!!
Beaufighter!!
JU188

Anyway,
Those would be my changes on Planes for next release.

Gorf, no one has done a Yak-9U that I know of.

WB's has a Yak-3. Comparing the two like that would be saying the P-51 and the P-47 are the same  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

AW, I know has an early model Yak-9 (or is it a Yak-9D?).

Don't know about Fighter Ace.

GORF,
This Yak-9U will be even better in performance than the WB Yak-3.  Right now the La-5FN of '43, while a great plane for the Russian front against 109G-6s and 190A-5s, is outclassed by the likes of the 109G-10, P-51D, F4U-1C/D, and P-38L, all '44 aircraft.  Frankly, I'm tired of trying to stay alive in my La5 with all this late war stuff in the air.  The Yak-9U will be a very welcome sight (as will the La-7) in AH.  And should Pyro see it fit to add -9UT armament options to this upcoming VVS fighter, all the better for those fights against the F4U-1HO.
