So on the front page it also says this.

"We currently have other planes and vehicles in production but we will promote the B-29 to the next open production spot."

Besides the Betty, I wonder what planes and vehicles HTC is cooking up.  :D  :noid

Probably not the Tu-2, considering a Soviet medium bomber was on the list. I don't imagine anything on the list beside the B29 and Me 410 will be added.

This reminds me of the scene in Brave Heart right after Wallace gets knighted. Everyone cheers for a few moments, then everyone holds out their own personal clan claims to the Scottish crown and wants the new hero to take their side or or or something he walked out on.

In ten short years we have gone from happy AW David Copperfeilds "Please Sir may I have some more." To ungrateful gluttons...."gimmie gimmie gimmie I got a hole in my tummy" and its your job to fill it or else.

Sixteen colors and no VOX I say.......back then we had real chairs with four good legs in front of our computers.....none of this wheeling our kesters to the john then wheeling back to the computer.....we actual got up on our hind legs and walked I say...we walked for our potty breaks....... :old:

cuz 56% of the 59% dont use the forums, only know a few planes from WWII and all but the B-29 are in the game, or are n00k dweebs even though HTC says no n00ks.

Post by: fullmetalbullet on November 11, 2010, 11:10:51 PM
i agree that there were better options on the list. but i dont think the ME-410 saw much action and plus we got enough tank killers. what we need is bombers and vehicles so focus on bombers and vehicles and not fighters or tank killers, although if i was around for the poll i would have went with the HE111 imo but the B-29 is something we need aswell. the HE 111 i dont think was originaly a bomber i think it was like the FW-200 a converted transport plane.
Title: Re: I'm amazed no one has asked this question yet...
Post by: Imowface on November 11, 2010, 11:18:10 PM
your incorrect, He-111 was a bomber disguised as an airliner, where Fw200 was an airliner "disguised" as a bomber

well even so, its not that great as a bomber. granted the B-29 had problems but a standard combat load of 20,000 pounds of bombs and flown from the marianas to the northern most tip of the japanese home island and back. Yeah i i would take the B-29 over the HE-111, speaking of the FW-200 will we ever see that in AH2? plus the b-29 has already been forecasted to be in the game wether you wanted it to be on not. the poll was to suggest what plane should have priority thos aircraft on that list will be in the game. just the poll was to ask what aircraft should be first in.

Post by: Imowface on November 12, 2010, 02:08:34 AM
that is the problem with you people, you think because it didnt fly in 1945 it wasnt that great, it was a decent bomber in its time,  as was the B-29, you need to realise that just because it has huge range and a massive bombload, it doesnt make it any better an option the the Pe-2 or He-111

true. but as many say. how often will it be used in MAs, secondly is the survivablity worth flying it in MAs. just like the lanc, its an easy kill.

the he-111 would be flown just for the fun of it in the MAs just like the stukas are and spit1s and hurri1s. alot of people use these planes for fun including me and some of my squaddies

The player base doesn't always know what is best or what they really want.

If every addition had been by vote. AH's list would look something like:

US:
Every American aircraft imaginable.

Germany:
Bf109
Fw190
Me262

UK:
Spitfire
Meteor Mk III

Japan:
A6M

Russia:
-

Italy:
-


At which point the player base would demand we start getting post war American stuff rather than add "hangar queens" that fought in the war.
