HiTech Creations (http://www.hitechcreations.com) have released six new screenshots from the forthcoming version 1.07 of their online sim Aces High. Illustrated are a razorback version of the Republic's P-47D Thunderbolt (denoting that it was prior to the implementation of a bubble canopy), and a plane to be newly introduced: Kawasaki's Ki-61 Hien, dubbed "Tony" by the Allies

Razorback?  Oooooo.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

It depends more on which guns it has. It might wind up having more in common with the P-51B.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I'm gonna look it up, but doesn't it turn and climb better than the Macchis?

It's a Japanese 109 (or supposed to be) right?

Perk a KI-100?  Guess we will want a perked Ki-67 if they make it as well.  There are only a few fighters that need to be perked.

Nice 47..except nose/tail markings are off.
Cowling should be red with no stripes on the horizontal stab.

actually daff, sir  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif), you are wrong. in January 44 gabby's bird along with the rest of the jugs had factory white cowlings. In february the 61st FS went with red, 63rd blue cowlings, and 62cd had yellow cowling. The white stripe was also deleted in Feb '44, and according to Ospreys 56th FG book,(reference page 71) the Jug's markings are spot on.

In Gabby's own book, it's with red cowling..which was added for the Big Week, late February.
 In any case, it'll be more interesting to see if it comes with paddlebladed prop and waterinjection (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Both planes look good. Shouldn't the P-47 be the same color as the P51B?  The P51 looks more pale.

Post by: -ammo- on April 14, 2001, 06:29:00 PM
And you are right of coarse, but after Feb 1944. This particular bird is modeled after the same exact AC, only from the January 1944 (or before actually). I personally like this better being the CO of the 63rd..cuz she's got the same colors as a 63rd jug (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

as far as how she handles, I wouldn't think of any reason why it shouldnt have those same in the field mod's, they wer prevelent in Jan '44. Soo..it just stands to reason that this D-11 has the good Prop and good WEP. Now...will it come with Gabby's very talented crew chief and the mod's he performed?....doubtful; but it would be nice.

Leph! Cya in the air M8, I'll be in my D-11 along with ya.

Now if they add the P-38F and the G4M2 Betty, you can have a decent Pacific event. The Japanese still need a few more. A6M3 Zero and the Val dive bomber.

You guys notice how beautiful that ki61 was too!  I specifically noticed just how round the wheels look.  AH plane art has come a LONG way since the p51 and b17 were done.

That p47 will definately be a good addition as well.  (It looks really good too.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) )

Post by: Torgo on April 15, 2001, 08:43:00 AM
New screenshots are used as free advertising for AH. And in return, AH players go to those sites instead of here to see them, increasing THEIR traffic.

I don't have a problem with that at all.

Anyway, from when HT was chatting several weeks ago in the MA, I get the impression there are a LOT more than two new planes and the LVTs in the next version. So don't worry if your favorite hasn't turned up.

DB603,
Its a P-47D-11, not a P-47C.  Performance wise, does it really matter?  It will sit in the hanger unused, the better P-47s we already have hardly get used.

I am disappointed to see that we are getting a Ki61-I.  It too will be a hanger queen.  A Ki61-IIb would have been much more competitive and usable in the current MA environment.

Still, more aircraft are good and the Ki61 is a great looking model, great work Superfly.  I am looking forward to seeing what else is planned for 1.07.  We have the water performance code from the PT Boat, so I am hoping to get the H8K2 "Emily" in 1.07.

Daff,

I don't want to argue with you, but I will point out a few things.

1.  The Spitfire MkXIV has been my prefered kite for nearly a decade, therefore it is quite reasonable for me to ask for it to be added to AH.

2.  The 2 P-47s that we already have hardly get used, how is adding another, weaker P-47 going to increase the likelyhood of someone other that one of the few diehard P-47 buffs using it?  If I am doing ground attack I grab a P-38L, P-47D-30 or Typhoon.  I, like most people, will not replace the P-47D-30 in that list with a P-47D-11.  Hell, most people just fly the F4U-1C for ground attack.

3.  AH currently has a large imbalance towards American and German aircraft.  Can you fault me for being disappointed when I see an American hanger queen has been added in preference over the needed Japanese, Russian, Italian and British aircraft?  When I say needed I mean core aircraft like the Il2-M3, Yak-3, Hurricane MkII, Pe-2, Mosquito MkVI, Ki84, Tu-2 and Ki67.  Instead we get yet another American aircraft.

So far 1.07 has 3 American units and 1 Japanese, further imbalancing the unit set towards American stuff.

Yes, I am disappointed and my $30.00 per month gives me the right to be disappointed and to express that disappointment (as well as a note of hope, in case you didn't notice).  I'm sure as hell am not going to cancel my account over it though.

Karnak lets not get too excited yet, I was a little dissapointed not to see a Mossie but perhaps it may still be in the list who knows. I don't really see any American bias shown..and thats coming from a Brit  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Remember last release was quite LW heavy so perhaps this is redressing the balance a little. Its great to see another Japanese plane in the planeset, perhaps we'll see a Japanese bomber too soon.

Yes a Hurricane and Mosquito would be greatly welcomed, especially as it would give more dimension for scenarios but lets be grateful for what we have already.
Title: New AH v1.07 Screenshots
Post by: Daff on April 15, 2001, 06:43:00 PM
Sorry, Karnak, couldnt resist  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

As for the P-47 Razorback being weaker..well..it depends on whether it gets paddle bladed prop and water injection.
Even if it doesnt, it will only really suffer in climb and a little topspeed...but it will handle better. (both more stable and is lighter as well).
Also, the Razorback was the workhorse of the 8th AF...it was pretty much that plane (and variants) that broke the back of the LW in the ETO. There was probably more Razorbacks produced than P-51s!

S!

 True about the planes we haven't even seen yet.Well..The P47 ain't that bad plane IMO.I started AH flying it before I got invited to a squad.It is fast,robust,packs a puch and offers good visibility.I don't think the new Razorback will be a hanger queen. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
 About getting more LW/USAF planes.Well...We all want something.But why not having an arena for PTO/ETO then?If we get more late war monsters/UFO Tech's,then the MA is very boring for those who fly mid-war planes.And would considerably lessen the C-Hog whine,if it was placed to PTO arena only, with Niki The UFO and maybe the new Japanese planes.Russian planes are too few IMO.Give us Pe2(fast recon/bomber),IL-2,LAgG3,Yak1B,DB3(bomber),SB2(bomber),even the I16/I153!Even P39Q/N could be added to Russians,since they were using it with great success at the eastern front.
Oh well..can't get it all,but I think HTC is doing pretty good job by providing us new planes in a pretty fast pace.

You are a little silly to complain about "another" P47 when there are allready 3 spitfires and you can be sure there will be more.
This D 11 could be so good its perked if all the potential engine mods are implemented....
Its great that you have flown the Spit XIV so long. Just be ready to have it a perk plane. And we dont what to hear about it when it is.

I would love to see the B-29 in the game but I doubt we will ever see it.

As a paying customer though, can we stop with the dang German and American {AIR FORCE} planes??? Every stinking patch there is a new one.

How about adding Japanese and British planes and bombers.

How about some new Big Blue US Navy planes like the SBD Dive Bomber. Dont tell me there are to many Big Blue planes in the hangars. For god sakes there are 15 different variations to 190.

I know alot of HT customers want a new 190 for every day of the week, but how about paying attention to those customers that want something else.

So we won't be seeing that patch anytime soon?  What does it take to make ya work harder? Women, cuban cigars, lap dances, expensive matchbox cars, polo cologne?  You name it and I will find someone to send it to you or pay out right for it.

NATEDOG,
Thanks for the reply.  I didn't think that these units were all that was going to show up in 1.07.  Its great to hear that you're working on a Russian aircraft.  Il2-M3? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I am still hoping for the H8K2 "Emily".

Pongo,
I am well aware that the Spitfire MkXIV will be a perk plane.  I am one of the Spit buffs who believes that it should be a perk plane.

It is annoying that the RAF cannot have a fighter more recent than 1942 without having it perked, and that some people are demanding that our 1942 fighter be perked, but can we help it if Britain built the best fighters of the war? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

With reworked ground vehicle damage modelling planned for v1.07, this sure does seem like a strong possibility.

My $.02

I fly nuttin' but USAF (P-38), but I too would much rather see HTC focus exclusively on British, Japanese, and Rooskie planes for awhile.

Well, mebbe do the P39 and P40 quick.  I mean, ya GOTTA get those two work horses in there right?  But after that...

What's more, I have no intention of even FLYING these planes when they come out.  I just think it would lend a TON to AH's cool factor if another 3 or 4 Japanese planes showed up in 1.07

Not a whine...BUT... why the Ki-61 as opposed to the Ki-84?  Just very curious.

Alot of the planes are very lateset in the war  (F4-C 200 made?)  The Ki-84 was late war and over 3500 were produced ( although prone with problems) The Ki-61 is late '42 early '43 with just over 1600 produced. I know it's time to start a backward trend to making early war planes and have to start somewhere. But , but, but My FAVORITE ride is the Ki-84.  I fly 2 planes exclusively the JUG (30-D) and the Niki ( only because the Ki is not in here)  The Niki I agree is an easy plane to fly.... SMACK the throttle to full and leave it there!!!!!  try that in the Ki and you die!!!  The Ki-61 is equal to putting in the dauntless, at least let us IJN flyers fight on an even ground with planes of the same period:)  HTC, or anyone else don't read this post wrong,I welcome the Ki-61, and I completely understand planes are added daily, some are more priority than others. But lets be objective and fair:)

When HT was in blue earlier today, I asked if there were more planes for 1.07 that hadn't been seen yet.  His answer was yes  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Anyone heard any rumours worth passing along?

elstevie,

They haven't announced all of the aircraft they are adding in v1.07, but....

I sure as hell hope we don't get a Stuka in v1.07 because:

A) It would be useless.
B) We just got 4 German aircraft in v1.06.

Stuka should be added in about v1.09 or v1.10.
