We need more fighters that pilots would use, not like the Jap Plane KI - 43 - II. This plane was brought on board and most of us flew it one time and that was it! Then we got those wonderful Bombers He 111 h. If you haven't tried it, don't waste your time. Why are these planes added to the game? The only reason I can think of is they could be used in the early war game. But I doubt it.
We need more competitive planes. And many of the planes we have, need features to be updated. This wouldn't take much to focus on this instead of spending time , energy and resources on Water World.
I go down the list of planes to make a selection and I go No, No, No, Boring, Boring, Boring, nope, nada. That's where we are at. Flying the same 3 planes over and over.
PLEASE GIVE US A FEW NEW COMPETITIVE PLANES!!!

No offense. :)

One man's opinion I guess. On the other hand some find your competitive planes to be boring boring boring.
But seriously do you have an aircraft in mind that you would like to have in the game?
(Don't hate on the HE-111, its the hippest bomber in the game.)
-
The is a common cognitive disconnect in our game that helps keep new toys coming, or old toys getting updated. Wanting new rides for innocent reasons presented on face value opposed to wanting something new and better for the sake of new and better and some how more powerful.
Kimo displays this in a honest forward manner without knowing it.
PLEASE GIVE US A FEW NEW COMPETITIVE PLANES!!!
The wish for some other ride that might just click with your current abilities, and give you a sudden boost above your existing skill set. Opposed to visiting the TA or the DA for ACM lessons.
Arlo, we have all been there.

You forgot to ask for the X-Wing, F22, and Mig-29. You're the type of player that needs the latest, the greatest, and the most "flash-bang" colorful aircraft in order to "enjoy" the game whatever it may be. I bet you're the type of guy who claims your team favorites are the ones who won last years championship game. I bet your the easiest guy to get on the bandwagon for what is "best". If you cant see the bigger picture than perhaps step back, take a deep breath, and try again. AH is far bigger than being an arcade game.
Why don't you try taking a plane that isn't one of the "three" you're flying over and over. Try the 109G's, P47's, Yak's, etc. Leave the arcade planes in the hanger and challenge yourself. Do you not have a sense of "I accomplished something" when you land kills in a P40? 109G? Zekes? 190's? Etc. There are DOZENS of fighters to chose from. Learn them. CHALLENGE THYSELF!

buy a jet game and go fly jets. the HE111 and and the Ki 43 are some of the best things HTC could do. not every aspect of this game revolves around the LW MA

What are the three planes "we" are flying over and over? I would bet that your three planes are mothballed in my hangar.
And you don't need the at, it's superfluous. :)
-
Nooooo. Don't buy a 'jet game' like USCH recommends (I understand where he's coming from but we need ya).
HTC/Dale and co. have been adding uber planes since the inception of the game. There is no shortage of them.
There may even be more added. However, needing another uber added to overcome boredom indicates, to me,
not so much a problem with the plane set as it may be with how you approach boredom. As another suggested,
fly something outside the '3 plane set' (seriously?) you have limited yourself to. Come join those of us who
fly historical events. Join or fly with a squad that has an historical slant in the MA. You may be surprised how
'un-boring' things can get. And spread the joy. Get others hooked.
Anyhoo. On a side note, I'd like to see various nationalities of ships modeled to promote more sea warfare (perhaps
luring that other small niche that is into WWII surface ocean warfare). And it would help events,as well. If it sounds
like I like historical scenarios ... well ..... guilty. (And I even like flying historically in the MA). :cheers:

Fly the p40c for an entire tour. Than you will know true power.

If you want things to be interesting fly the "less competitive" planes - the more capable a plane is, the less interesting it is to fly and fight with. Flying the La7/Spit16/P51D will get boring fast unless you are a fan of those planes (seriously, is there ONE player that has a deep historical fascination with the La7? Whose childhood heroes flew La7s?). No need to go far - try the La5/Spit9/P51B as replacements for the above 3. If those are not competitive enough for you, nothing will help you.
Want to tread off the beaten path? try these: C.205, Mosquito VI, KI61, P38G/J - all of which are excellent fighters that get way less credit than they deserve, with the P38J probably leading the bunch in capability/credit ratio. How about a Yak9U? The Yak3 is so ridiculous that it completely over shadows its larger and more powerful brother in arena usage, but the 9U is still the faster plane and retains most of the Yak3 advantages vs. opponents.

Hmmm, perhaps compensating for something...

If your not flying /loving / killing, in a Jug,, I don't know how to help you!
There is no greater satisfaction than killing spits and stuff with an overweight bomb truck!
The PMs are sometimes priceless!
FM-2 is a close second best on my list of super fun planes to land loads of kills in!
P-38s are great as well!
As far as missing stuff,, everything on my list is in the game except the Pershing ,, I fully expect it'll show up someday, until then I'll shoot up the other tanks in my M-18 and the firefly or M-4
I'd recommend spending a week in every plane in the game,, or. Land two kills in each plane, before moving to the next one!

I fly the same 3 planes over and over and over all the time: the P-38G, P38J, P38L. :old:
As you can see, I am a dedicated Lightning dweeb/junkie. :devil and, yes I die alot.
But then, I'm not here to be the ultimate undefeatable pilot. Flying an "unbeatable" plane; that is the fastest, has the largest gun package (everybody knew that one was comming :D ) most heavily armored.
As for new planes, I vote for the P38H to be added to our toybox.
just my $0.02

OK Guys let me add a little to my WISH! First of all I am KimoSabe. I'm on my 3rd year playing HC. The first year was a big set back as I had a computer that wasn't very good. My Bad! The computer would never calibrate my planes properly. So I flew around with guns that were being bounced around as I tried to shoot innocently thinking I stunk. By chance I got an upgraded computer and saw a difference immediately.
So I played my second year and realized, I'm going to need to learn this game all over. I had learned so many bad habits and I just couldn't shake them. So about 4 months ago I decided to take time of to basically start over. I stop playing for 3-4 months.
I've been playing again now for about 3 weeks. The difference is amazing. The lay off helped tremendously. I played and replayed over and over in my head, making moves and executing shots. It payed off big time. I'm playing so much better. But I still have lots of room for improvement.
Now through this process I have flown these planes, all of them, over and over. I have tried staying with one plane for 2-3 months. And I have tried just flying 2-3 planes in a month. I have tried about everything.
My favorites planes are the 109A-5, KI-84-LA, LA-7 and Spit XVI Guess those are my favorite. But I still fly the others trying to improve in those as well. When the turners aren't working for me I go to the LA-7 but have a hard time hitting anything with the cannons. I don't fly Bombers much at all.
I love getting altitude and dropping in on peeps with the 109A-5, KI-84-LA and the Spit. When having a bad day I get run down in those and will go to the LA. But I may not kill anyone with those cannons or I might get 5 or 6 kills sometime. Everything else in the game I'm below average in. I find if they have guns I can kill with, they won't turn well enough or they are to slow on pick up and I get caught from behind. There is always a reason to be unsuccessful in the other planes. Sorry that's just the way it is for me. I know some of you can pick many of these other planes and be very successful but I can't. That's why I would like a few new ones or Some of the ones we have remodeled. I am happy to listen or read any ones constructive criticism. :salute :salute :salute

Stick with the LA-7, Spit XVI and Ki-84. If you are having trouble succeeding in these, you'd be hard pressed to find any new plane that will work out better for you. You say you are re-learning and basically started over three weeks ago? Proficiency doesn't happen overnight in this game. Make an appointment with a trainer.

Need an F4F-3, too. The -4 is inappropriate for Coral Sea, and many other scenarios in which the Marines participated (IE, Guadalcanal). And our -4 with the four-gun package is not comparable to the -3

That is a much better post, detailed information.
I agree with the two post above and the bolded sections most importantly. Just flying around shooting at stuff isn't going to make you better.... well any time soon anyway. You may be making all kinds of little mistakes that once corrected will start getting to victories instead or quick rides to the tower.
Hook up with a trainer for an hour or two. Listen to what they say, and practice what they tell you. You will be amazed at how much faster you get better.

Thanks Guys! That's what I plan on doing! Hey! I shot down MidWay, Skyyer and Sfox all in the same day last week. Does that count for anything? :x :cheers: :banana: :banana: :banana:

What are the three planes "we" are flying over and over? I would bet that your three planes are mothballed in my hangar.

Isn't that the truth :)
Not that I'm flying these days, but I'm guessing my P38G isn't one of those three :)
-
BBP,
There aren't a lot of top end fighters left to be added at this point. Some mid range ones and some early war stuff, but unless you press for the very end of the war, and perhaps some just barely didn't make it fighters, there isn't anything that meets your criteria. Meteor Mk III and Spitfire F.21 could be added, but they are both perk planes for sure. F7F and F8F might be addable as they were in service, but missed combat, both are also perk planes. We're pretty tapped on on end of war German and Russian fighters. The end of the war for the Italian fighters, G.55 and Re.2005, would be nice, but they aren't going to be dethroning anything. End of the war Japanese fighters could bring in the J2M5 and Ki-100, but the Ki-84 is better. The Germans never got the Do335 in service and the Japanese never got the A7M or J7W in service.

P.S. You really do need to give historical events a try. I think you'll like them.
Arlo makes a good point. This game is not about being the best solo flier - there are other ways it can be played. Scenarios and events add a lot of flavor to the endless MA furball/land grab. Instead of playing solo, you can join a squadron (are you in one?) and fly with wingmen - this adds whole new dimensions to combat, tactics and skills. Being a good wingman does not require that you be the hottest solo pilot, or fly the hottest planes. The social interaction of a squadron is another fun side of this game, if you are in the right kind of a squadron.
-
How do you know the Ki-84 is/would be better than the J2M's? I think that's your best guess. :noid
Given some albeit limited research on the J2M variants, I think it would be situational, the 5 could BnZ a Ki-84 all day, no?
p.s. +1 to the J2M's

I mean this as an overview and not to be directly critical. Could be, you are fixated on having the upper hand in the fight. That makes your plane list short and limits your AH growth.
You did not mention GVs and even PT boats. Give them a go. It is a whole new world.

now that is one I'm not familar with.
The funniest thing I've ever been called was "yankee".
I was in the Dallas/Fort Worth area when that happened 1980-1981.
I'm from Burbank, CA.

As mentioned, there really aren't any fighters (that would be not perked) that could push themselves into the TOP 10 most popular fighters (per kills/deaths).
One single engine plane rarely mentioned very late war aircraft (hardly a fighter though) which could gain some popularity would be Il-10. Even then, in ground attack role, it really is hard to beat the American fighters which can load 2000lbs of bombs and bunch of rockets.

The same could probably be said about the B7A.

Um, the KI-42 had 603 kills last tour, and was 29th in K/D, and 79th in number of kills. I would say that it's being flown more frequently than once...
The natural progression is I suck > haxor > picker > ho'er > uber plane > I suck > get better... When people are new, they know they are horrible. After a while they think everyone is cheating "how could he pull that move, he must be hacking the system". They then realize that's not happening but everyone is ho'ing and picking. Then they blame their plane choice "it's not fair" they say.
After a while they begin to realize it's their own fault, and decide to actually learn something and get better. Once you understand you got picked because you had bad SA, and you got HO'ed because you decided to get in front of his guns, and when you get pwn'ed by an A8 (happened to me monday), that you were beaten by a better player you will take personal responsibility for your frustrations and get better.
The plane has little to do with it, it's the pilot...

I can think of quite a few variants of planes/ new planes we already have that would not be perked or will change the game.

What about T-34/76 and LVTA2?

What about T-34/76 and LVTA2?
T-34/76, along with the Ki-84-Ia and the B-24J, was added as a 2.0 level model in Aces High v2.00. All three of those are definitely showing their age though.
The LVTs were both upgraded without fanfare some time ago. The prerelease screenshots of them were only shown on HTC's facebook page as I recall.

You know, the original post wasn't phrased very well. And HTC should certainly NOT stop filling gaps in the historical plane set.
That said, I think there is small amount of truth to the idea that adding exciting very late war and even "What-if'ish" planes to MA could have positive results as far as attracting customers goes. That's just the nature of the market. And having more planes to spend perks on would be good. So if HTC finds the time to model the P-51H, F8F, F7F, P-80, Meteor, Sea Fury, He-162, Ta-183, etc, bring 'em on I say. Maybe even put in a special "1946" arena for them.

The only "what if" plane I can see adding would be the Meteor III. Anything else and it gets real wierd real fast.

Bring on the Luftwaffe freak fliers! I would love to see some of the what if concept stuff modeled in here.
It's a WWII game. I'd much rather they fill in everything that flew in WWII here and made another game that was post WWII with the stuff that never saw combat.

The 162 wasn't a "what if" plane, it saw combat at the very end of the war, scored a few kills, and a few were shot down by mostly British fighters on take off and landing. By our standards, the 162 could be added just like any other plane, except with a hard coded fuel burn like the 163 due to only 20 min or so of fuel irl.
EDIT: The P51H, if I remember correctly, was ready for combat in the ETO before the end of the war in enough numbers to be added, and it has been on a poll here before.

I could swear the T-34/76 was also updated after that, like 2-3 years ago... Can't verify it though, as my system went down the crapper.

Nope. Only change it has had is to remove access to its interior. T-34/85 replaced its turret, but that had no effect on the T-34/76 model.
That said, the T-34/76 has aged far better than the Ki-84 and B-24 have.

If so, I was probably fooled by an exceptionally well made skin :old:

Well, if it was still the AHI version then I was planning on putting in a request for changes to the turret and to lose the 40 gallon external tanks. I don't know why they chose the Mickey Mouse D model over the E, but I think I would have gone with the E and the smoother turret with the cupola. It's alright the way it is, but it's certainly not an early war version.
Adding a 45mm version would be great, too, but only if it was accompanied with the Panzer Mk.III w/ 37mm and 50mm both.

I was thinking it was as well. However the T34 looks exactly the same as it always did when I started playing which was somewhere around 2008 I think (I swear it's been longer, but I guess time flys.) I know because the T35/76 still has that weird shiny look to it. I suppose that the reason it still looks so good is because the actual exterior of the tank itself was absurdly simple, with basic angles, and not alot of extras about it, which was basically true to its real life counterpart.
Or HTC really liked the T34 :noid

What about a 190D14 :O

what about the js-2 to counter the tiger 2? or the earlier and later ki-61 when the ki-61 get a makeover? or some actual british tanks...not just the american tank with a british gun....a german counter to the m-8(puma?) and an early p-51 (a)apache, and early p-47..(c-5)? and we are not even talking about seaplanes or small subs. :cheers:
