Listening to Hitech give his reasons for the wish list over the years, I wonder if he at first may have considered calling it the "I have an Idea" forum. In either case, the flood gates for self entitled outrage would be permanently broken and always used by angry orators in the place of a giant gilded podium to assume whipping privileges against Hitech with impudence.

Much as I'd like to see the Beaufighter... Sometimes, no answer is the answer.
And sometimes, (hopefully) it's already on the todo list. :pray

For the past several years, "no" has been the answer for new planes and vehicles.

Lots of wishes have been granted over the years. Very few times hitech has said wish granted unless, sometimes the wish was already part of the game.

Not true. I got a wish granted a while ago. It wan't something complicated like an airplane. But it was granted.
No, I'm not going to tell you. You can look it up.

I take heart that the only old model left to update is the Temp. After that, I expect Waffle will be looking for something to do... Like maybe a G55 or J2M... :D

I said wishes for new planes and vehicles. Updating the cockpit does not mean a new plane.
No it doesn't, but once the last old cockpit is updated, that likely means he'll move on to adding new planes.

I've had several wishes granted over time (though I'm not of the ego to claim they were all about me):
Battleships Sherman tank (I really thought this would inspire more Bulge like scenarios *ShruG*) I-16 Animated tailhooks (though folding wings on deck or opening canopies didn't make it) Tu-2 He-111
I didn't want:
B-29 A graphic update that put everything else on hold for a long time Even more German armor
And now when I see forum members virtually cry on the BB that they think nothing is being done for them when HTC is at its lowest staff #s to date (and they don't actually know what the current game labor involves) - just because new models haven't been introduced after almost 130 different toys were made I think I'd be of a mind to not really put new models on the top of other priorities if I was HT, either.
Its one thing to put a wish out there and not take it all that seriously, being a rather good sport and another to start making spoiled demands and start rolling on the ground kicking one's feet.

I'm not whining or crying or demanding, and I know HTC has less help now, and has a lot on his plate, but I see a lot of re-wish's over and over a lot of them wished for back in AH2 when HTC had more people.
I too had a wish granted-having a PT Boat spawn with engine running just like a tank does.
never mind I said anything, I may have posted this in wrong place anyway.
I guess we will see new stuff when we see it. :salute

But you still have the same airplane with the updates.

I would say just change the title to, For those who want to gripe about peoples ideas. That's basically what it is.
