Everybody seems to be anticipating the next release from HTC. I know I am. So I thought we could all share our predictions for 1.08 with each other.
Let me get started with a few, I will probably add a few more if others add some as well.
1) We will get new planes that some will like and others will squeak and moan about because the much vaunted XPFw-435A-9b was not added, though clearly there was mass support for this plane here on the boards.
2) RAM will come back for about a week, maybe two, and then promptly post that he is leaving because of the porked 190 model and the fact that he is "the wrong guy for the community."
3) No matter what plane(s) are added, I will still be killed by Fester, Nash, Zig, and Mitsu.
4) The F6F will still be porked. Come on HTC, there are many accounts written long after the war, based on 2nd hand information by biased individuals who never flew any other fighters that say that the F6F was the best fighter of the war. How come I am still getting shot down in it?

Creamo and SOB will get married

SOB's "Adams Family Pinball" has a greasy worn out coin return, I doubt it. Plus my squid cookie baking mail order bride would get pissed.

They will give Mathman his own bulletin board. :)

Mathman:
Just a little tip to help you from getting shot down so much.
DON'T FLY WITH A KEG IN YOUR LAP. MOUNT IT UNDER THE PLANE AND GET A STRAW.
How many times did I have to tell you that when you where in my squad.
-
F4U – still porked.

When and where you F6F dweebs showed up to the party sure as hell ruined it for everybody! ;)

We will see several of our old vets that migrated to WW2Ol...some I'll be happy to see..others not so much.
I think we might see trains also, but that is just rumor at this time.
-
The F6F stall modelling will be reworked and it will have gentle and forgiving stall characteristics. Mathman will never be shot down again.

I predict that v1.08 will be incredibly buggy, will have been released a year too soon, that it will take 10 minutes to switch positions, there will be a 70 megabyte patch to download, and there will still be horrendous stability issues after the patch is released.
LMFAO!
and i hope to god that we do not get a spit mk. XIV...there's too many spits already. I'm hoping for an Me-410 B-2 (w/ 50mm cannon), an He-177 A-5, and a Mosquito.

----====262=====--!!!!
-
a choo choo train :)
-
I predict that when released "Champagne will fall from the Heavens and velvet ropes will part."
-
Opel Blitz :p
-
what does anybody need a 50mm cannon for.
-
I have seen several of the new additions.. :D
But I at the risk of loosing my R/C Instructor (HiTech), I will will not steal any "THUNDER" from HTC on there announcement hehe :p We will all be very pleased with the next release!!!

I predict I'll be shot down the same as always though by a slightly greater plane/vehicle set.

Swager closer to coming back. HTC was going to make my return an addition in 1.08, but I told him it was not necessary. My return will probably be the main addition in version 1.1.
:)

I think we might see trains also, but that is just rumor at this time.
He just tole me we're gettin the Tiger Tank!!!
TOOOOT TOOOOT *BOOM*

Now ther is not alot of differance between the two versions, but I would just like to know witch one. That of course is if they are thinking about the tiger in 1.08.
I have the info on the King Tiger :D as well if you want it. plus some of the shermans and other german tanks, halftracks, Panzerspawagen's, couple Stuart's, one Lee, and a few others. Not as much as I would like to have, but some is better then none.
Well just asking.
:p

In 1.08 version vets start visit frequently in TA and help newbiews about game featurs, bring forward AH customs and teach those "Magical ACM moves" etc, instead whining about that how badly newbies behaving.
BR :D
-

cheerios :D

LOTS OF THINGS!!! but mostly buff hunting and tank hunting. (PT's too)

hey maybe they will have a fix for that damn vieo card problem everyone has.
-
It will run on Linux and all bugs will immediately dissapear.
Frame rates of 500 fps at 2000x2000 resolution with zillions of colours under X will be commonplace.
You will be able to run a view on any X display you want, enabling you to stick your head into the middle of a sphere of 25 21" flat screen monitors for total immersion.
Netstat will be flat at 1 ms for everyone in the world and warping will cease due to Linux's superior networking capabilities.
Sheep will be replaced with penguins and will move about.
Should I wake up yet?
-
Trains and Tu-2s.
Other great & neat stuff, which will most likely follow the pattern of 1.06 and 1.07 and make the game less fun for me while adding nothing that I am interested in. :(
-
Wooohooo! Screw predictions, I got it strait from the horse's mouth...the P51H is IN! As a perk of course!
SOB

I just wet myself.

cc SOB I also went beserk when he told us
did you also get the screenshots in that email?
looks like a complete rework of the pony artwork for that P51H
sweeeeeet
why do you think Ive been flying pony so much lately! :D
-
It has no place in AH (never saw action I dont think), plus they just run more. Looks good, but they could do stuff as well that ACTUALLY saw WWII.
Where's the jap stuff already?
-
KI84................. hope it's there too :D
