Surprise?

Oh I bet its a 38F/G/H/J :)

That or some kind of vehicle. a Stug? hehe.

Edit:

oOOOoohhh.. guys take a look at the pic where the ki67 is torpedoing something.

That something looks like a BB.. but kind of.. different.. and its alone, so they either killed the rest of the CV group to get that pic or what we getting is actually player-manned ships! Probably a DD? or a Cruiser? :) :)

Very Nice. Badly needed medium bombers, HTC delivers.

Nice.

That Bf110C-4 is gonna get eaten for lunch, dinner, supper and every other meal.

The Ki-67 is UGLY.  That hump is just plain unattractive.  Can you imagine how vulnerable you'd feel in the bombardier position?  At least you can see above, below, both sides and in front of you.

But its fast and has a 20mm cannon in a powered turret.

Yes I know, Ki-67 could carry 858kg or 1055kg Torpedo.
So which torpedo does it carry in AH...

BTW, I think Ki-67's paint scheme is a bit lower resolution than Bf110's one.
(I mean texture looks blurred)

is it final version?

wow that bomber must have taken ages - lotsa great detail.

i'll fly the 110 - it should make an ok b n' z plane. some pilots claimed it's weakness was overstated and that it was just placed in the wrong role escorting bombers....well, we'll see.

good work at any rate.

Hmm I made the mistake of looking the SimHQ UBB..

The level of discussion.. Well let's say I'd bet that the majority of the people posting there are not older than 12 years.

STUKA!

I can't imagine they would add Spit I, Hurricane I, 109 E, 110C and forget the Ju-87! Naaaaah.....

Title: Salute, HTC!
Post by: oboe on January 26, 2002, 07:36:05 AM
You guys are really doing awesome work.   The inside view of the canopy frames in the Me110 are much superior to the early FW-190s.    Both planes shown are beautiful!  :eek:

I think they had announced the Spit I also, so that makes the known planes for 1.09:  Ki.67, Spit I, Hurri I, Me109E, Me110C.
That leaves room for 2-3 surprise vehicles.   I'd have to guess that the surprises probably in include a vehicle or two, and maybe the Stuka or an Me163.

I hope a BOB terrain for the CT is nearing completion!

Agile too.   This thing could loop, etc. and two books I have say that it could turn with many Japanese fighters.  There was even a 75mm armed variant designed for knocking down B-29s.   Peggy could be considered a heavy fighter in some ways.  Should be very interesting...looking forward to trying her.

Anyway, back to the 12 year olds.  :rolleyes: :D

Must be refreshing to have a company approach you in this manner instead of cut and paste forum spam :D

Check out the gunsite position on the 110, that thing is going to offer awesome deflection shots.

So is a bf110 1 better then a bf109?
Title: SimHQ News: Bf-110 and Ki-67 shots
Post by: Wotan on January 26, 2002, 07:09:30 PM
its not a matter of better the 110 is a staple.

I will fly it not matter what.

in a 109 you have way more options then in a 110 in the way its flown. You can afford to be much more agressive.

a 110 in the main most likely will be used be a small group of folks much like the 190f8 is.

However that doesn't make it useless.

a 110 wont be shackled to lo slow moving bombers. It has good hitting power for deflection shooting. BnZ' n in a 110 would be the way to go. but its not completely incapable of manuvering.

it carries 2 x 500kg bombs so it would be one of the best lw ground attack fighters in ah.

I had hoped for a 210/410 but I am stoked over the 110 even more so then an emil.

Since we got two hurricanes, mebbe we get 2 110s???
Another one could be the 110g.
I love those 30mms, and would make for a BEAUTIFUL attack job.....:D

Why can't the screenshots be posted here first?  Then let the e-mags link it from there?

We're all subscribers, you'd think the paying users would get the nice sneakpeeks first.  Sigh

Nice pictures.  Just hate having to go elsewhere to see what's new *here*.

I guess I'm not following you.  There's advantages to posting new screenshots here first, sure, but part of building up any product's business is marketing and PR.  Many more people saw the shots and the product name at SimHQ than would have followed a link from SimHQ to here.   It's new;  it's exciting.....it helps HTC drum up interest from new players.

well LePaul

you dont see Ford releasing pictures of it's new prototypes when you go to a dealership :)

gotta check out the media

and it's a good way to promote both SimHQ and HTC. Parterships are good IMO
