Title: It's been a while since there were updates/new aircraft/vehciles
Post by: Mister Fork on November 14, 2013, 01:09:14 PM: So HTC...what you have coming down the pipe? Any good stuff? New features? New terrains for the MA? Aircraft referbs? New toys? It's getting close to Christmas and I want to put some stuff on my Santa list! :x

Post by: DubiousKB on November 14, 2013, 01:21:48 PM: A crude but effective terrain generator would be interesting (don't judge me I haven't scoured the forum yet for this...) :bolt:

A mission editor - Standalone if possible so a guy could work on multi-tiered "Pickup Missions". Ya know, shows general progress of each flight so that the planner can have rendezvous points for say fighter escorts and bomber groups.

Not sure, but whatever HTC does, there will be a few excited cartoon pilots!

Keep up the good work HTC! :cheers:

The 262 is enough alone.

262 is still a better plane do the the 4 30mm.. BUt it will be fun to have a jet vs jet fight. Time I think for the korean arena

I'll take the bait...

The quad 30mm's of the 262 are INFERIOR to the benefits of the quad 20mm's on the Meteor. Trajectory, velocity, and ammo capacity to name a few (easier to connect w/ 20mm's). As far as damage is concerned, it is like comparing getting punched from Mike Tyson vs Evander Holyfield: you're down for the count either way. Oh, and I think you should look more closely at the performance differences between the Me262 and Meteor Mk III, the Me262 would need to be on its toes the entire time to stay ahead of the more nimble Meteor Mk III. ;)

Oh, and no way for a Korean arena. Been to the WWI arena lately? Having a MiG 15, F86, a P51D, and a few other token prop planes fighting over MiG Alley would be much the same as WWI after a few months I'm afraid.

HTC has an entire superdetailed main arena that has been submitted for their approval. they are trying to get to it to review it for addition to the game and I am hopefull the 500+ hours I spent on it will be rewarded by seeing it get some airtime in the MA.

I'll buy you a copy of Silent Hunter if you'll stop asking for more things that aren't airplane/graphics related.
