Anyone care to wager what HTC's next aircraft addition to AH will be? This will be of their own choosing, not by vote. This also does not refer to a re-model of an existing aircraft.
Based on recent additions to the aircraft set I believe HTC is trying to "fill the gaps", so to speak. The He111, Ki-43 "Oscar", and Yak-7B all point to historical values vs MA "wants". The same can be said for the revamp of the Zeke's, P40's, Hurricane's, and Yaks. Based on that I'm betting that HTC will be adding a level Soviet bomber sooner than later, be it SB-2, IL-4, Tu-2, or Pe-2. IMO, the lack of a level Soviet bomber is the largest and most glaring hole in the AH planet set.
What say you?
-
I'm guessing the Boomerang or Beaufighter, however I want the G.55 and Re.2005 added.
-
I'm betting on the Beau and meteor,just sayin'

New planes?
Beaufighter
Pe-2
A-26

Ziiiiiiiiiiiiing! yes!
ink, i think if we were to make a handsome donation to HTC we could het that special ki84 too :t

Planes: Anything really. I don't care what comes in next.
GV's: StuG III. I wish to know why the Hetzer was placed above the StuG to begin with.

You and me both, the StuG III offers a lot more flexibility in terms of off-shoot variants then the Hetzer does. I'll give HTC the benefit of the doubt for now.
Oh, and remember folks this isn't so much of a "I wish" thread as it is a your "gut feeling" thread. I'd like to see the Meteor III as well, but I don't think we'll get it soon unless it is voted in. ;)
-
Gut feeling:
Beaufighter or Tu-2 or A-26 or some GV.

StugIII 50mm and 75mm
75mm for sdkfz251, its a rare vehicle now
Pe-2
p47c with no paddle-prop (wishful thinking)
Redone 110
more loadout options for some planes..

I don't want any new planes. I haven't figured out how to fly all of the ones we have!

Boomerang has no place in this game. A plane that was so slow it never got a single kill on any other enemy plane, despite trying. A plane with no ord loadout to the point it was dropping smoke bombs to tell OTHER planes right behind it (F4Us) where to drop. In short, it was an infantry strafer from sheer lack of other uses for an airframe that just couldn't cut it in WW2. It was a knockoff design from a british design (re-engined and with guns added), and overall would be about as representative of the WW2 combatants in Aces High as the Model T Ford would be for tankers in this game.

I am certainly not advocating for it, but there seems to be a population within the game that want it. I'd much settle for the Beaufighter instead.
-
If love to have a beaufighter :banana: :aok
-
Ki-61 update w/ Ki-100 added into the line up
-

If it's going to be anything, it will be the Beaufighter.

I've got my money on an F4F-3 and F4F airframe update. Not one of the most asked for additions, it would help keep the "But.... 'Murica!!!!" people from whining their heads off, and it would actually fill a hole.
-
It's time for a new 190 :banana:
-
It's time for a new 190 :banana:
190G :banana:
And 190A3 :banana:
-
It's bomber / heavy attacks turn IMO. I would prefer we get a Pe2 (FT) and Tu2 (S) but fear it will be a Beaufighter Mk21 to honour our antipidian brothers and sisters.
My single preference would be for PTAB ordinance for the IL2 m3
-
I think Tu-2, Pe-2 and Gloster Meteor Mk III. :x
(actually it is just a wish - I really want a meteor with 4 hispanos)

Being that the Boomerang was in the last plane poll, HTC seems to disagree. I for one, would be happy to add it to my stable of 40 ENY favorites.
As for the OP, my guess is the Beaufighter and the Pe-2 for new planes. Hopefully a remodeled F4F-4 (and F4F-3) and FM2 or new 110s, too.

If it's a remodel of the F4F-3/4, I am hoping that they are put into SEPARATE airframes. There is enough of a difference to warrant it if I recall correctly. 3's had greater range and maneuverability while the 4's had greater armor and firepower.
I think the next addition will be another Soviet plane, but this time a bomber. I would put bet on it being the Pe-2, though I hope for the SB-3. Another addition I bet on is the TBD Devastator. Why? Because I can. :D A serious 2nd bet would be the Beau as another addition.
For remodels I am betting on the B-26 to be remodeled. Hopefully we'll see a remodel of the SBD, D4Y, B5N and TBM as well.

I hope you know that the American planeset is the furthest behind over all countries. Here's what I have off the top of my head, most likely missed a few for each country.
SBD
F4F
B26
FM2
TBM
German airplanes that need to be updated:
JU-88
110
AR-234
Japanese planes that need to be updated:
Ki-67
Ki-61
British planes that need to be updated:
Boston III
Tempest
If anything we should catch up on updating the 'Murica planes before we do anything else.
-
As this is about what we expect to see next and not what we want to see next, here's my totally uneducated guess:
Tu-2 or Beaufighter
-
well,you guys have some great ideas on what planes are next.....i thought AN AXIS TRANSPORT/BOMBER WAS NEEDED before anymore fighters. JU-52 or SM-82(kangaroo) :x

By that number I think the Japanese come out as furthest behind as their four (you left off the B5N and D3A) make up a far larger percentage of their planeset than the five American units. You also biased your numbers by listing the F4F and FM2 separately and listing the Bf110C-4b and Bf110G-2 as a single line. You also left the Me163 off the list. At least your American and British lists were accurate.

I saw a bunch of ridiculous Fw190 posts. Does that count?
Many people seem to be interpreting the OPs question not as what they think HTC is actually going to add next but rather as what do they want HTC to add next. Only an idiot would think that a new Fw190 is likely to be the next new unit added as the Fw190s are 1) already at AH2 graphics level and 2) HTC has never shown an inclination to add a unit to a unit family outside of its update window.
If I wanted to be an RAF/Mossie fanboi I'd have said Mosquito Mk XVIII or Mosquito Mk 30, but I'd be wrong about what HTC is likely to add. Fanboism is highly unlikely to produce an accurate answer to the OP's question.

Hey ill take a Mossy Mk 30, anything to fly at 25k and haunt Me-410s and buffs.

Mossie 30 is my personal most wanted aircraft. I would so love to have a Mossie fighter with high blown engines to go bomber hunting with. I am not positive what my personal #2 and #3 most wanted aircraft are, but my #1 is definitely a bull nosed Mossie 30.
I just don't think HTC is going to add it in the next version, so it isn't the answer to the OP's question. :p

Ever since you had me research it ive been wanting it (That and fact I tried to intercept a B-24 raid at 24k and could barely catch them). Some reason I never had much interest in trying to fly the mossy, I can fly a 38 just fine - but if the 30 gets added I'd want to learn it.
Maybe this tour or the next ill devote some time in the mossy, I dunno it just feels opposite to what a 38 feels like, just never could get it down other then to farm perks (and usually end up dead).

Skorpx, that's for updated graphics, not holes in the plane set. What I'm saying is that it would kill two birds with one stone. Three, actually.
1) We get an F4F-3
2) We get updated graphics
3) the "'Murica!!!" crowd will shut up for a bit.

What's the longest a plane has been asked for?
What do you think the reason is it has been wished for so long and yet not ever delivered?
I'm not saying it has the longest wishlist history, but in doing research on the J2M I've run across it in wishlist and other types of threads for over 10 years.
There is a reason it gets skipped over, seems we just don't know why.

Most players I Don't think even bother reading the wishlist forum, reality is most seem to play in the MA more then go requesting stuff on the wishlist because many don't have the knowledge (my theory). I'm not saying new players don't have the knowledge, rather many would have no clue what a J2M is unless they read up on World war two or even played another world war two game. Not everyone who plays had Heavy knowledge of World war two, maybe some did - but given its the usual same people on the wishlist forum, there's a reason its not being swamped with new stuff. Usually its the same new guys requesting the P-80 or something to that effect.
I don't think it gets skipped over, rather I believe HTC Just simply cannot add everything at once. Maybe it takes a long time to develop a plane, new terrain, new features - Aces high is in a constant state of evolve, I bet HTC wishes he could hire someone to do the modeling and such for him, maybe money is a reason.
I wouldn't believe anything gets skipped over just because it doesn't get voted, I'm sure Hitech wants to do many things to the game and he simply doesn't have the time or money to invest in it right away.
Eventually it will come, assuming the game doesn't die first or HTC retire.

Sparviero. :D

Forget about the new planes, how about some new and updated terrains, more strategic targets to bomb..
I want to do more anti-shipping sorties..sinking convoys and getting reward for the tonnage of ship sunks.. :devil

Thats a wish i havent hear :O
