Now if only gentle curves equated to grace, you would be set. But sadly, the spitfire lacks much of the raked, predatory grace of German iron.

Spitfire Mk XIV.

Nothing German comes close.

Edit:

Well, the Me262 does come close.

Of course.  Most German aircraft lack something when you see them in reality.  No piston fighter I've ever seen comes close to the Spit XIV in terms of aggressive look.  The long Griffon and nose cone, five bladed prop and cannons protruding from the wings gives it a very aggressive look.

The Bf109 just looks kinda small and awkward in person.  The Fw190As have a nice aggressive look in photos, but I've not seen one in reality.  Bf110s look like a product of the mid-1930s, kind of like a Skua or Stuka.  The Me410 and He219 have an insectoid look to them.
Title: Re: Anyone else...
Post by: Tank-Ace on May 26, 2012, 04:30:49 PM
IDK, US fighters definately look more agressive compared to their british counterparts. Spitfire really just looks a bit plain IMO. There is such a thing as too sleek in terms of looks.

Yes, I do think that would sum up the girl at the dance quite nicely. You might be quickly drawn to her curves, but you'll leave her just as fast when you see theres nothing behind them.

Haven't spent much time with the Spitfire, have you?  Nothing behind it?  Maybe too much, but certainly not nothing.

Idk 109s are just to bulky and squared, 190s are too tall and look gangly, 110s well its a 110...

Spitfires yes are very streamlined which I think looks nicer then the 109.

109 is a lean girl that is very fit and not very busty.

Spitfire is that really curvy girl, with a little more 'meat on the bone'

It's your pick on which one you want.  :aok

 You obviously dont understand my statement!

  You take the spitfire to the dance,show her off to all your friends and you're sure to have her home on time to get Daddy's approval! Then you go back to the dance find that german bird and go and do what come natural.

 Maybe when you're abit old and have some experience you'll understand.

Theres still two possible meanings here. Are you saying you'd drop the spitfire for the one you really love (109), or that you're going to go for a quick fling with the 109.

While the He111 would be a good addition, it had been a long time since a fighter had been added so in this vote all of the aircraft were non-American fighters, including the Ki-43, which is just as needed as the He111.  Now, as it was a vote among the players, what was chosen was not up to HTC.

There's threads dated 1999, I believe, asking for the 410. It's been "needed" from the start. Same with just about any plane request -- G.55, Beau, 410, He111, many of them have been discussed since the game began.

Yep, over the years I tend to facepalm after I see we get B-29s instead of He-111s or P-47M's over Ki-43s etc.

I keep wishing and hoping one day someone takes notice, I did want the Me-410 in the game as my first wish, so I guess after all these years it paid off.

In fairness, the P-47M was a "freebie" graphically as it has the exact same geometry as the P-47D-40 whereas the Ki-43 would be entirely new artwork.

In the time that the player base has voted for things, the three winners being the B-25 (which we did need), B-29 and Me410, HTC has also added the Brewster B239, I-16, G4M1, Mosquito Mk XVI, A6M3, P-39D and Q, P-40 F and N, P-47M, SdKfz 251, Panther V G, Panzer IV D/F, Tiger II, M4A3(75), M4A3(76), M18 and M3 w/75mm cannon.  I probably forgot things too.  We do get things that are needed as well as things that are good for the LWMA.

Even the Me410 is going to be used in the next big scenario.
Title: Re: Anyone else...
Post by: Krusty on May 31, 2012, 12:40:20 PM
I'd say the P-39 was also a poll winner, because it was so close with the B-25 they decided to do both.

(otherwise I agree, though)

I'd agree with that, but technically it didn't win.  If I recall the vote went something like 50.2% for the B-25 and 49.8% for the P-39.  We needed the P-39 as a gap filler too though, so it works.

How are either remotely close besides Tank busting guns? Nothing.
pretty sure veteran players will stick to Il-2 since it can survive one pass from a fighter and not get flamed.

It will do nicely long as clouds are free of pickers.
