Title: BBS Plane Poll - Pick the plane you think will be eliminated in Round 3
Post by: Pyro on October 24, 2011, 03:10:49 PM
Just for curiosity's sake, I thought I'd take a poll of the BBS for this round of voting to compare it to the final results later.  

Note that this asking you what you think will happen, not what you want to happen.  Results of this poll can be seen on Wednesday after the next round is started.

I'm thinking the yak will go first. Then a 2-plane vote-off will leave the 410 behind (sadly) and the Meteor will win (sadly).

I think the same way as Krusty.

Yup, so voted Me410 here just as I did online.  I do think the Me410 will beat out the Meteor as players tend to have a more "German stuff is cool" attitude compared to British stuff.

EDIT:  Well, now the wording is changed and I'd need to change my vote to Yak-3 as I think that will be out in round 3.

I think the Yak will be third, i.e. will be voted out next.

The Me410 will be vote out, obviously.

The community wants the 'hgher and faster' aircraft, regardless of the holes we have in the current plane sets.

Sorry for the typo, it's fixed now.  You can also change your vote now.

Pyro,

Out of curiosity, could you give us the vote percentages for Round 2?

Pyro,

Yes please if you can?  Also maybe give us the names of everyone voting against the Beau,
That way I can take care of a few knees  :D

He'll put out % at the end, no doubt. Wouldn't want to sway your unofficial vote now? He's just asking opinion, not looking for stock market advice  ;)

Post by: Bruv119 on October 24, 2011, 03:56:27 PM
I think the 410 will go, 

then i'll be happy with either of the other two choices because they are fighter aircraft.
Title: Re: BBS Plane Poll - Pick the plane you think will be eliminated in Round 3
Post by: Vudu15 on October 24, 2011, 03:56:49 PM
Yea I think the 410 will get tossed followed by the yak.

seems to be the B29 poll over again. Pass all the fun stuff for something most folks wont fly.....

Post by: Karnak on October 24, 2011, 03:58:42 PM
I will say that this poll seems to have generated a lot more heat than prior polls.  I am curious as to why.  Certainly the Meteor is controversial, but I also see a lot of heat between the Beaufighter and Me410 fans as well as people saying that the only fighters on the round 1 poll were the Ki-43, Meteor and Yak-3.  I wonder if the contention between the Beaufighter and Me410 backers has anything to do with a feeling that this was their best shot because there was not a clear winner such as the B-25, P-39, B-29 or A-26 in round 1 and they got their hopes up?

I think they add the 2 planes most people want so it splits the
vote and they get tossed to put in the latest and greatest.

That does not compute.  The final round would only have two aircraft, what you claim is one of the two the community wants and the latest and greatest.  If your claim were true the community would unite behind the surviving one they want.  Last poll ended up about 60% for the B-29 and 40% for the Me410.

Keep in mind that the in game community is very different than the BBS community.
Title: Re: BBS Plane Poll - Pick the plane you think will be eliminated in Round 3
Post by: Ping on October 24, 2011, 04:11:15 PM
out of a poll for 4 planes it is easy for 2 of those to get a split vote enough to have one of these 2 eliminated

I am speaking of those wanting to fill holes in scenario gapsets, If only one of the 2 had been in the initial
polling that one would stand a much better chance.

My theory and I'm sticking to it   :noid

Of course, but one will continue on.  Do the backers of the Beaufighter no longer vote?  No, they will still vote, and in theory most of their vote will go to the Me410.  Some will, of course, switch to the Meteor or Yak-3.

I did as a matter of fact switch over to the 410 :)

I think, the Jak. Even tho thats a sweet and inportant ride, its not a jet (no pickenpickers dream), not american, nor british or german.
Democracy is broken.

Post by: Bruv119 on October 24, 2011, 04:22:33 PM
the one bonus for the yak is that the other variants would surely get updated cockpits, so it is 2 for 1.

Nah, Democracy is fine.  It is just that Democracy is not always the best tool, particularly when it is raw democracy and tyranny of the majority is uninhibited.

Here we won't have that problem entire as HTC limits the choices, in this case by not even including an American aircraft, and by adding things without a vote.

I voted for the slowest with the smallest guns (edit: in this poll about the most likely contender to be eliminated next).  But should be interesting.

Yak 3 will be gone.

All the crotch rocket jocks want the jet & those who believe bigger & more guns are better will pick the 410.

Honestly, I think the Yak 3 will be voted out next. Not sure though, who knows I could be surprised.

I thought that AH stand on that only serviceable AC (squadron strength and saw action) will be brought into the game? Why the Meteor?

Because the Meteor meets those requirements.  How is that hard to understand?

Well, I knew it was not squadron strength but did saw some action.

Maybe because I did not know that the meteor saw action. Perhaps you should understand that people will not know everything about something. How hard is that to understand?
