From PYRO's news:
The other plane additions in 1.09 at this time are from the early war. There will be a Bf 110C, a 109E, a Spitfire I, a Hurricane I, and perhaps some other surprises. This will give us broad coverage of the war period; we just need to fill in the holes. This wide range of planes gives us a lot of options to expand our future plane set and the gameplay offerings we can provide. We should have some new aircraft screenshots out this coming week.
:) A happy customer :)
-
Ditto, thrilled here also. Can you say Battle of Britain?
-
I can even say North Africa: we'll have Hurricane I and II, Spitfire MkV, 109E, F and G2, Macchi C.202, Tanks, Ju88's .... we'd need a P40 and a medium RAF bomber and voila' :)
-
Useless planes for MA.
And I'm burned out completely on BoB scenarios. So bah humbug. :)
-
Terrific planeset for the CT - I can't wait! The 109E is the meanest looking of all the 109s, which are all pretty mean looking!
-
Very excited here also!
MA? Who cares? :)
CT's gonna be very very very fun for a long amount of time for me :)
P-40s.. F4Fs.. A6M2s.. LaGG-3s.. Yak-1Bs..
just these few more and the choices for the CT is going to be immense, literally! From BoB to Afrika, Eastern front 1941... going on to early Pacific theater ...
:) :) :) :) :) :)
-
Yes they will be great for the CT:) I am very happy about that. I am a little preplexed though that we did not get more bombers, i was under the impreshion that 1.09 was a buff upgrade, thought we would see more stuff along those lines, but mabby as he said thier is more to come:) Hopefully somthing Italian:)
-
Sounds awsome:D
-
Oh, probably thers someone scared to fight with a 1:1 forces ratio and against equal/superior a/c during Scenarios or in the CT ... ;) :D
-
OH my GOSH, me and Funked agree on something ;)
Seriously, I'm glad you guys are finally getting some of your early war stuff, but it totally bores me to death.
I would have thought we would get the Me410 before the Me110, but that is life :)
-
I'll be interested to see how the Bf110 is modelled. In AW it always seemed kinda uber relative to the anecdotal evidence of WW2 pilots on both sides. I hear it was the same in WB as well?
Disclaimer - this is not a pre-emptive while, I'm just interested in how good the RL version actually was ;)

We could also due a North Africa campaign also. All we need now is some P40s and P39s... I believe they were used in North Africa.

Do any of you care to share some performance charts and other data you might have lying around on these new additions to the planeset?
I'm especially interested in the 110c (and other models of the 110). That way the luftweiners and the righteous allies can get their flames lit up...
-
Funked and Verm, you are right about the Main Arena but those addictions will be very useful for the CT and the Scenarios.
I really hope that AcesHigh will develop toward a good RPS and more balanced, historical and interesting scenarios. That is 1940-42 events. Obviously it is only MHO.

The RAF used the B26 from 1942 onwards in the Med Sea/Africa, so there you go!

Hopefully with a Ju87 upgradable thru D & G variants

--- end ---
In WB its rear gunner when in Otto mode had the wrong lethality at first, which made it really difficult to attack from the rear. And the G-2 had 2 30mm and 2 20mms pointing forward inWB so kind of nasty attacking it HO either. After the rear gunner was fixed it wasn't much of a problem as long as you saw it in time.
The WB Bf 110 had horrible roll rate, torque problems, poor climb, slow to moderate top speed. So nothing stellar, except the G-2's forward guns. If you flew it very carefully, just to line up shots and then had an escape plan ready it was possible to rack tons of kills, cause of the ammo load. Not because the plane's performance allowed you to.

Nice set of planes, sure they will be welcomed. BUT, how about some carrier planes in the mix???? The damn skys are full of Spits and 109's now.
How about some carrier planes for the Axis side like the VAL, JUDY, JILL or the A6M2 ZERO. Maybe even the DAUNTLESS, WILDCAT or HELLDIVER for the Allies. Would make things alot more interesting and and set up many more options for Scenario Events. MIDWAY, CORAL SEA, GUADALCANAL, LEYTE GULF a KAMIKAZE Scenario, etc.

Can't wait for the "PERK THE SPIT 1a!!" when the bugger makes it first kill of a uber P-51 etc :D
