Title: What do you think "extra" plane might be?
Post by: Nefarious on March 06, 2002, 11:18:41 PM
I hope/want it to be a A6M2 Model 21 textured like Saburo Sakai's Red and White V-103!!

What do you guys think?

HTC mentioned a 'surprise'. Not necessarily a plane.

 However, I would like to see the good ol' white Zero too :)

Yak 3?  MiG 3? LaGG 3? Yak 1B?

I'm guessing on something Soviet.  The Yak 3 would be a good MA plane, and the other two would go along with the other new early war stuff.

Or maybe a P39?

I've always thought that he might sneak a surprise plane in seeing that it's mostly a BoB planeset so I'm expecting either the Ju87 or the He111.

Of course, we might end up with the Me163 which of course I wouldn't mind either!  :)

I'd love to see the Mig3, but my money is on a Stuka, or a Japanese Torpedo plane.

Since they are putting in early AC.. Id think it is going to be the P-40.

I sure wish its a green 38, but a P40 is more likely.

I'll bet the "surprise" is a perked GV.

Or a Wildcat?  We could then have both PAC and Euro early-war types for CT (or for scenarios, or for you other folks who sometimes like to ditch the hot rod for a real classic ).

Title: WHAT ARE THE 5 ANNOUCED PLANES (OR ADDITIONS) ?
Post by: KXSwa on March 07, 2002, 12:35:12 PM
Sorry, I missed that part.  :(

Anyone know what the 5 planned additions are to AH ?

Or does anyone have a URL to the post or page about it ?

Thanks,

Most likely another damn version of the Spitfire. GAK! :rolleyes:

We need some carrier planes like the DAUNTLESS, HELLDIVER, JILL, JUDY or WILDCAT.

Erm... It's the Spitfire Mk1, Hurricane Mk1, Bf109E-4, Bf110-C?, Ki67 and face lifts to a few 'old' AH planes.  Considering it's the early BoB planeset it has to point to the 'surprise' plane being the Ju87 or the He111?

Hm.  Except in his "Woe is me" post, Pyro indicated that at least 64 plane/vehicle objects were already allocated.  And someone else (AKDejaVu?) noted that we currently have 56 total objects.  Meaning there's room there for more than just one "surprise."  Maybe three surprises?

Replicant, where have you heard that is is a 109 E4? All I've heard is that it will be a 109 E. My guess would be an E4 aswell though, considering it looks to be a BoB setup, however, had HT or Pyro said that it is an E4?

Would allso guess on a 110 C4.

I reckon it's going to be a Defiant to provide an excuse for perking the Spit and Hurricane in a BoB setup. ;)

That would be my guess.

I kinda have my fingers crossed for an F-8 Crusader.  Then I'll slap them LA7, N1K and Spits around!  

More realistically, I'm hopeful for something from early war Pacific.

Post by: Angus on March 07, 2002, 07:16:08 PM
Hmmmmmmmm
Hot candidates would be the Stuka (unless it is already included amongst the other ones.....?)........and then I would think that a necessary popular plane should be around the corner, such as the Japanese "kate", the Dauntless, the Wildcat, P40 or even the P39........
Getting eager to know,,,,,,,,,,:cool:

Buffalo, Kittyhawk or Boomerang would be great. Maybe a Beaufighter, Catalina or Wirraway :).

Pyro(or was it HT) said not long ago that he had specs for the Boomerang and it may be added one day. I can but dream. And i will dammit. A world without Australian designed planes isn't a world I want to live in!

I'm pretty sure it would be a : (http://www.beehivehockey.com/images/history_images/27lysander.jpg)
And I would be the only autorized to use it ;)

It would have a White paintjob with the letter
UN  on the side


The bad news is that it would be a perk plane ;)

I recall an interview with HiTech sometime ago where he was hounded about getting a P-40. This is my guess.
Title: What do you think "extra" plane might be?
Post by: ra on March 09, 2002, 09:47:43 AM
WIld guesses:  P-40 because it's a must have and it fits the early war timeframe of most of the other new planes;  or Tu-2 because Pyro asked for internal pictures of this a long time ago.
