Title: Next aircraft for release...
Post by: Mister Fork on April 01, 2010, 08:54:22 AM
I spent the day at HTC office yesterday, finally getting a chance to put the names to the faces.  Of course, one of the biggest treats of my day was seeing what they have on-tap for their next aircraft release.  Dale had a list of potential candidates and some early models.  Here's a screen from one.

Yes it will be perked but no nukes...

That's just an obvious attempt to conceal the fact that the next release will be the full set of Civil War aircraft.

TADA.

Of course, I was going to annouce that I'm purchasing HTC from the owners and my first order of business was to give Skuzzy a nice raise and that I was going to up the fees to $20 per month to pay for it... :D

The only "April Fool's" in the OP is the fact that Mister Fork didn't mention that HTC is also going to release a Haunebu III along with the B-29 to keep game play balanced.

 :aok

Are you quite sure it's not an AH copy of a Tupolev Tu-4?

i think skuzzy doesnt lock most threads just because of how many people get IN on the dumb ones to keep them going  :rofl
