The 2 weeks is just a running joke.  HTC doesn't announce scheduled release dates.  The one time I remember them doing so, they were months late which led to some upset customers.  Check the homepage or the forums and one day it will show up.  Now that they have released photos, it's getting close.  I wouldn't be too surprised if it comes out in the next 2-4 weeks though.

 :D

HTC's tradition is to release their new versions of Aces High during a time when Bruv can't play. He's moving in a week and wont have internet. I'm pretty sure the release will coninside with this.

Definitely 2 weeks.

I DO worry about what happens when it is released and I hope it is perked far higher than the ME-262.

With being able to carry 20,000 of eggs it could probably white flag 2 towns by itself.  It's already too insanely easily to white flag a base as it is.  Just a few escorts for de-acking and a couple of goons and 2 bases go red in a matter of minutes.

The real question should be; when is the next update due to be released?

i'm still curious as to why a bomber that hardly saw action in ww2 got voted in, rather than some other aircraft that we could use, and served a LOT.......... :noid :noid

 maybe we can vote in the f4 phantom next. why? cause someone may have been thinking abuot it during ww2

ya know? i'm probably wrong, and i know it. it just seems to me that some of the other aircraft that were in the list could've contributed more to the game play.

 i like the 29.......but considering how the lancasters and 17's are flown.....i don't really think we need another heavy bomber,.

 that's just my opinion though.

I would tend to agree.  There are a few giant gaping holes in the plane set that, if filled, would contribute greatly to things like FSO etc.

But, the horse is out of the barn now.  Not much point in grouching about it.

A good bomber pilot (hell even a decent one) can down 2 towns in a set of lancs and they won't even have to fly as high. How do I know? I've done it, as many other bomber pilots have.  :noid

The bomber pilots need something thats perked. all the bomber perks and nothing to use it on.
