Title: Poll: New fighter in AH
Post by: Pyro on October 18, 2011, 02:34:51 PM
Time for another new plane poll.  This BBS poll will run for one day and be used to set the field for an in-game subscriber poll.  Results will show at the end of this poll but BBS polls tend to run quite differently than the arena polls.  We're limiting this to fighters since we're due for one.

Thank you for the poll, HTC!

I voted D.520 for Battle of France and North Africa Vichy Forces, and we need to start a Armée de l'Air... This is a very needed plane in AH.
Also the G.55 to increase the Reggia Aeronautica presence in AH. Would trade for CR.42 but... it's complicated...
The the Mig3. Here, I am easy, I don't know wich is best, the Mig or the Yak... Let the People decide... ;-)

Unfortunately, I read the title... Now it's hard to ask for a Potez or a PE2...Or a Whimpy...

TY, <Salute>,

Post by: oboe on October 18, 2011, 04:27:03 PM

I voted J2M, Ki.45, and OTHER (P-63A!) - there's a reason the Japanese had 5! fighter types listed.   I wonder if having 5 candidates will split the Japanese vote and work against any Japanese fighter.  I'm curious about a Meteor vs Me262 matchup though, and I honestly I expect the Yak-3 will be very tough to beat.

Why is so many votring for a night fighter in a game thats almost always daytime P-61 is not a wise choice
Why would a P-61 A/B not be a wise choice?  I don't recall night being a requirment for AH.  Do you know a lot about the 61s (Try here: http://www.maam.org/p61/p61spec.html )  Yes there are planes that need to be added like the Beau and the 410, but for a 3rd place the 61 would be a nice addition to AH.

If the P-61 makes it onto the in game vote, I'd be willing to bet at least a few dollars than nothing non-American would even be worth putting on the list.  So in this case, the P-61 is a massive threat to anything that Pyro listed.

Same is true for the P-63.

The fact that Pyro didn't include any American fighters makes me wonder a bit if they simply won't put any American aircraft in this poll?

If you don't have the Yak 3 available in the hanger then you don't have anything resembling a complete lineup of WW2 "Fighter" planes IMO.  What more do the bomb****s need than the A 20? :neener:

As it isn't a fighter, you are basically throwing away your vote.  A-26 will not be on the list.

If the P-61 makes it onto the in game vote, I'd be willing to bet at least a few dollars than nothing non-American would even be worth putting on the list.  So in this case, the P-61 is a massive threat to anything that Pyro listed.

Same is true for the P-63.

The fact that Pyro didn't include any American fighters makes me wonder a bit if they simply won't put any American aircraft in this poll?
And I have no problem with that as the P-40 series just had an upgrade.  Just trying to get people to move past the "It's a night fighter" argument for exclusion from AH. 

I could be wrong, but I would think the Me-410 and the Beau would give the the P-61 a good strong running in a final primary.

Maybe I am pessimistic about it, but I think many, many players don't visit these forums and really have no idea about WWII aircraft and would simply vote for a "P-" aircraft because it is American.

not really couldnt care less which of the others get picked :).  but I will bet you a nice bottle of whatever drink under 100 bucks  that whichever plane gets picked will sit pretty in the hangar after the first 3 months  :cheers:.

Well there is more to AH than the LW MA, but many of the planes listed would find a role there too.

The Japanese planes listed are all inferior to the N1K2 and Ki 84 we already have, so its hard to see them getting much use in the LW MA. The Ki 43 however would be the best turning fighter in the game, so it might see some use as a counter to A6Ms, Hurris, Brewsters etc. Any Japanese fighter would be good for scenarios but the Ki 43 is the most important of them all. I'd have thought the Ki 100 would get tacked on to a future Ki 61 upgrade anyway.

The Me 410 would get some MA use, its role is basically as a faster 110 and that sees a fair bit of action in the MA. Very limited for scenarios though.

The Yak 3 is along with the La-7 one of the best Soviet fighters of the war. Should see a lot of MA use. The Mig 3 was a dog though, even by 1941 standards. The Yak 1 was considered the best Soviet fighter of that period. Doing a Yak 1 as part of a remodel of the whole Yak range would be less work and more useful scenario-wise than doing a Mig 3 (or a Lagg 3 for that matter).

The G.55 should be competitive in the LW MA, it is certainly better than the C.205 and that's gets some use in the MA. An early Italian fighter like a C.200 or a CR 42 would be better for scenarios but not much good in the MA.

The Meteor has four nose mounted Hispanos with 200 rpg and would be the third fastest fighter in the MA. Way more maneuverable than the German jets and it has air brakes too. How much use it gets would depend on the perk price. Useless for scenarios and personally I hate jets anyway.

The Beaufighter would do OK as an attack plane in the MA but as it is generally inferior to the Mossie it wouldn't see much use. The main thing it would have going for it is the option to carry a torpedo. Torpedo attack may be suicidal but some like to try it. Lots of scenario potential though.

The D.520, Boomerang and IAR.80 don't have much going for them as MA rides though. Very limited for scenarios too.

Nice summary Greebo, I very much agree when looked at the majority's point of view.

I voted for Ki-43, Ki-44 and Me410. I find them all very facinating fighters in their own way and would certainly spend time in each in the future. And like you said, both Japanese fighters (especially the Ki-43 of course) would be very good for the special events aswell.
Title: Re: Poll: New fighter in AH
Post by: Karnak on October 19, 2011, 05:10:07 AM
The Ki-44 and J2M would both be usable in the MA as well.

guncrasher,

You do realize that the A-26 is also a likely hanger queen, for the same reason the Spitfire Mk XIV is.  It will be the low end bomber perk plane, but its performance is not good enough to survive being attacked by the better free fighters.

Question:

 Which fighter would you most like to see added to Aces High?  Pick up to 3.  Top vote getters will go on to compete in an in-game subscriber poll.  (Voting closes: Today at 02:34:50 PM)

You may only select up to 3 options.



Time for another new plane poll.  This BBS poll will run for one day and be used to set the field for an in-game subscriber poll.  Results will show at the end of this poll but BBS polls tend to run quite differently than the arena polls.  We're limiting this to fighters since we're due for one.




and for those who have  voted...please check the timing of your vote (in red)..... and Pyro's  posting time.

Thanks HTC for not just saying "The games good enough".

Yarbles' Ford Capri comment made me laugh like a maniac.  You'd have to have been raised in England to understand.

I picked the Ki43, the Beaufighter and the Meteor because I want to see new airframes and historically significant ones.

Here are my thoughts:

Beaufighter - historically significant, mass-produced.  I wouldn't fly it except in FSO, but it needs to be in the game. My #2.
Boomerang - not significant, completely outclassed in anything except an EW environment
D.520 - historically significant - only decent French fighter - used widely in combat by the Vichy French and the Italians.   It was a candidate.
G.55 -  Airframe too similar to the C.205 - Not used in numbers -Not a contender for me
IAR 80 - Historically interesting - only significant Romanian aircraft - but it's Romania - slow, underarmed - not a candidate
J2M - Quite significant - strong armament, new airframe - a contender, but too similar to the N1K1 to add much to the game.  It was a contender.
Ki-43 - The highest scoring Japanese fighter -   Hugely significant - New airframe - will be good for FSO and I'll fly it - My #1.
Ki-44 - Fly a Ki-84 - It's very similar
Ki-100 - Fly a Ki-61 - The experience will be much the same
Me 410 - I'd like to fly this - It was a contender for me -  It just got squeezed out.
Meteor - Hugely significant - 1st British jet - new airframe - The F.3 was my #3
Mig 3 - Terrible plane, only used as a stop-gap by the Russians.  Not a contender.
Yak 3 -  Used in large numbers, great aircraft, but pretty much a lightweight Yak 9.  Not interesting enough for me.

Title: Re: Poll: New fighter in AH
Post by: Peyton on October 19, 2011, 09:40:51 AM
I voted. Thanks

G.55 This IS NOT a C202 or 205.  This pane is AWESOME.  Build it Build it Build it!!!!! The version above this, the C56 (same plane bigger engine) was better than the German FW and Bf fighters. This is a great plane.

Ki-100 Ki-100 I-Otsu-Good Japanese plane going to be able to dive with the Mustangs

Me 410 All Variants loadouts requested. Especially the 50MM cannon....The AXIS answer to the B-25's cannon..fun fun

A-series aircraft were armed with two 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 17 machine guns and two 20 mm MG 151/20 cannons in the nose and delivered as the Me 410 A-1 light bomber.
A-2 heavy fighter with dual 30 mm (1.18 in) MK 103 cannon pack. 
The Me 410A featured a bomb bay for carrying air-to-ground ordnance or for the installation of additional air-to-air weaponry or other equipment.
U1 contained a palette of cameras for the photo-reconnaissance role,
U2 two 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon with 250 rpg for the heavy fighter use,
U4 used the 50 mm (2 in) Bordkanone series weapon, the BK-5 cannon with 21 rounds, to turn the aircraft into a dedicated bomber destroyer. The BK 5 cannon - derived from the Panzer III tank's main armament, the 50 mm (2 in) KwK 39 L/60 - allowed the Me 410s to shoot at their targets from over 914 m (1,000 yd), a distance at which the bombers' defensive armament was useless.

Future request:
SM.79 "Sparviero"

Beaufighter
Ki-43
other:  Yak 1  (A better choice, I think, than the Mig 3 for early-mid war Soviet fighters)

I voted for the fighters that would be best added for scenarios (though, the Ki-44 and Ki-45 would be very nice to have, too, for scenarios).  The Ki-43 was a very important plane for Japan, and the Yak 1 would help us fill things out for early and mid-war Eastern Front.  The Mig 3 was in a similar time period, but it's got very weak guns, and the Yak 1 (which was more heavily produced as well -- 8720 aircraft) is a better choice.

Me-410 is probably in the lead followed by either the Beaufighter or the Yak-3. Just my guess.

Given that some AH players may not know what all these planes are I have a suggestion for the online poll. Include a brief description of each plane like:

Ki 43 - Highly maneuverable but lightly armed Japanese fighter.

Me 410 - Twin engined heavily armed German fighter bomber.

And so on.

@ Peyton -  The G.55 looks almost identical to the C.205.   The both had derivatives of the same Mercedes-Benz DB605 engine and they had a very similar airframe.  I understand that the G.55 was much better at high altitude than the C.205, but the vast majority of AH combat is at low to medium altitudes.   -Just thoughts - We can all make our own choices.    I agree with you that the SM79 would be a great addition, but not until I get my He111...
