I dont know how or I would, or I will if someone tells me how. But we should run a poll of popular opinion as to what additional planes and GV's should be added next. We need to make a list of the wishes and let people throw their vote in. I think it would be helpfull to the AcesHigh present givers and it would also give the users a clue on what is coming next as the name of the game is to please the most amount of customers.
I will help make a list or build the poll itself if someone can point me in the right direction.

thats wat we have done in the passed

The B-29, Me-410 are two recent planes that come to mind right off that were introduced because of a poll. I cannot remember what plane was before the 29, though I know the 25's and the 39(?) were brought in as a result of a poll. But they were introduced before my time.
I wouldn't mind another poll, but half the fun is NOT knowing what we will get next.
Personally, I am hoping that we get the Tupolev SB 2M-100 or SB 2M-103 and/or the Ilyushin DB-3 for Russian EW, and, the Pe-2B(LW) and/or the Tu-2 for M-LW. I'm also hoping that the Ju-88 and the B-26 are updated as well.

can we first have a poll asking for people to see if they're interested in a poll?

making this a 9001 post.
you ever think that some people arent interested in polls and will just choose whichever thing without regards to how it will be used in the game?

Just add him to your ignore list.
...as for the idea, I to would rather be "surprised" by the additions. Although the discussions that run rampant while the poll/voting is going on usually are pretty interesting.

Did you know 3 out of 5 people don't trust polling results... (one has to ask, how do they know that?)
-
How about a poll on poles? I prefer 10' and wooden.
As for planes; Italian bomber, Russian bomber, D.520

most likely because the 3 had the polls going against them. while the two had the polls in their favor :D.

Only if HTC presents them with a set of choices that don't include any LW US anything, so we don't have the "I don't know what it is, I just know its 'Murrican!" bias.
IMO, a pole should include the Ju-188, G.55, Tu-2, and the Bf 109G-10 (almost identicle to the G-14/As, since HTC doesn't like to add subvariants. Could also work as a decent stand-in for the G-6/As at high altitude).

Itailian 2005 Also D502 from france.

I'm hoping for some Russian bombers also. :salute

For sure no US birds. We need more Italian planes.

I would compose two polls to be run at the same time. I will base my two lists on prior contestants in AH polls as well as my own ideas of what would be interesting choices, even if I'd oppose them myself.
Poll 1 1st round:
A-26
L-2
P-36
P-61B
PBY-5A
PV-1
SB2C
TBD-1
Poll 2 1st round:
Beaufighter
G.55
He177
Il-4
J2M
Meteor
SM.79
Tu-2
The winners of poll 1 and poll 2 both get added.
-
I would vote P-36, and G.55.
-
I would vote P-36, and G.55.
I'd probably vote for the TBD-1 and J2M.
In my prediction for the final poll of both I'd vote for the P-61 over the A-26 and the Tu-2 over the He177.

Based off your lists, we know what the winners will be. A-26 and Meteor.
As for what I would choose myself, the TBD and the SM.79.
The likely runner up of each; I agree with you about the first poll, P-61. However I would predict the Beaufighter being the runner up over both the Tu-2 and He-177.

No, I don't think we do. Meteor barely edged the Beaufighter and lost by a landslide to the Me410 and Yak-3. I suspect many of the Me410 and Yak-3 voters would vote for the Beaufighter over the Meteor. I don't think the Meteor would even make the final round. A-26 might win, but the P-61 could challenge it. I don't think you can have a poll that doesn't have obvious leader candidates. HTC themselves ran a poll with the B-29 on it, which ended up slaughtering the Me410 in the final round 61% to 39%.

Beaufighter might, but it is British and that is a bit of a disadvantage in the polls here. Not as much as being Italian or Japanese, but worse than being German. Final poll might be Beaufighter vs He177 in which case the He177 would easily win.
As a note, I had a hard time coming up with eight American airframes that aren't in the game. I had to leave off many, many non-American airframes to cut the second list down to eight.

G.55 and PBY-5A
Not enough Italian planes.
-
What does AcesHigh need to fill in gaps in the plane set... hmmm
Russian Bombers
-
G.55 and PBY-5A
Not enough Italian planes.
Two is as much as any non-American nation got. With only a field of eight and so many aircraft to list it is pretty much impossible to justify listing three aircraft for one nation. Italy only has two aircraft, but it was such a minor player compared to the big 5 that the idea that it should have any much representation as, say, Russia is silly. Two more Italian aircraft, the C.200 and SM.79-II, would pretty much give full coverage for Italian related events. More would be nice, but they wouldn't be plugging holes at that point, but rather adding diversity.

+1. Glaringly obvious.
-
:aok The G.55 and the SM.79 Italian war birds would be my vote.
-

Same here.
I'd go with a Soviet level bomber after that.
-
Russian bomber, Italian anything or Japanese anything would get a big +1 from me :cheers:
