Title: Guesses about what is coming in Aces High v.1.11
Post by: Karnak on October 25, 2002, 02:41:50 PM
What we know:

Units:
Me163 Komet
P-51D Mustang has a new model.
Tiger I

Gameplay and engine changes:
Mission Theatre
Strategic targets are being redone
Muzzle flashes from gunfire


My guesses:
The P-51B Mustang will be redone based on the new P-51D model.
A new Japanese aircraft of some kind will be introduced, Ki.43 or Ki.84 most likely.

Other than that I wouldn't even care to guess.


What are your guesses?

Arg, A kate I would hope not but well see, The only good thing about the Kate would be the filling of the Early war Japanese plane set for events. It has no forward firing guns, and is even in that time frame just a big fat target. Why is it that we get late to mid war allied atack airctaft modeled and wish for and get early war Japanese models?

 A jill with it's almost 70 mph spead advantage over the Kate would be a better choice imo, granted both have no offensive guns. Certainly a more usefull platform all around, with that speed it might even find use in the MA.

Yep, that's what this game needs if you are a fan of RAF birds.  The RAF is missing it's mainstay fighter for 1943/44 - the Spitfire LF mk. IX (nearly all of the 5,500 odd IX's built were of the LF variety).

The Spitfire was the RAF's maintstay fighter for almost all of the entire war.  Unlike other countries the RAF doesn't have about 15 different fighters to model, it's needs the varients of its main fighter modelled.

huh u know smth?:D :D :D

By the true we need lots of early  planes. Couple last months on CAP show that.

most needed planes for western front:
109E3
B25
he111 or Do17
Ju87
Bristol Bufflo
MC200 or early fiat
beufighter
mby modification of ju88 /long range fighter/


east front:
I16
Yak1b
Lagg 1&3
Pe2

and late war Yak 1m or Yak 3

Pacific:
Kate
b17 early C or D
Ki43

b24 early

and my wish list
Ju52
PBY Catalina
Swordfish
Blenhaim
mby ms406
will be great to see more panzers like T35/85, sherman, mathilda, PzKpfw 1, 2, 3  , IS2,


Planes like b29, ki100, ki84 are good but form MA only.
Historical events desperatly need more early planes, to stop discusion about  plane substitutions.

My guesses on planes in 1.11:
Ju87 Stuka, 80% sure this will be added!
Japanese plane of some typ. prolly what karnak listed...
me163.

What I think would be good additions over the next few patchs:

Gloster Gladiator/Sea Gladiator :D ,
Stuka,
I-153,
I-16,
Fait Cr.42,
Hurricane2b (the one with 12x303's, but would be too laggy to fire all those guns for me lol :) )
Italian bomber of some sort,
B25.

Beaufighter
Sunderland
Whirlwind
Sunderland
Battle
Sunderland
Barracuda
Sunderland
Defiant
Sunderland
Meteor
Sunderland
Firefly  



Beaufighter-  too slow as a night fighter, but a great strike aircraft.

Sunderland-  a big huge flying boat.

Whirlwind- although a nice little fighter, but with only just over 100 built i can't see why it should be modelled.

Battle- light bomber

Barracuda- torpedo/dive bomber

Defiant- not a fighter in the traditional sense.  Was so poor in combat it was quickly removed from daytime operations-  can't see why this deathtrap would be modelled.

Meteor-  A mkIII would be nice to have, although some people argue that shooting down V-1s and groud attack sorties as not seeing combat.:rolleyes:

Firefly- strike/recce aircraft.  Although this plane is so cool it would have to be added anyway!   mmmmm.....16 x 60lb rockets and 4 hispanos.......:)



So out of all the planes we have 3 fighters.  All of which for various reason made little impact on the war.  Sorry Cajun, but i would put the gladiator in this category too.  It would make much more sense to add varients of the spitfire.

We need more RAF bombers, The Stirling,
also need swordfish for british CVs.

You might not know this but the Royal Navy
finished the war with 50 carriers.

Would be nice to see a Liberator, as this was flown by
USAAF and RAF.;)

The spitfire and 109 were 2 countries frontline fighter from the start to the end of the war.  You simply cannot model a spitI, spitXIV, 109E and a 109-10 and think that they that represent the RAF's and LW fighter strength of the war.  You also need to model the varients inbetween.


With the mission theatre this'll be even more important.  What is the RAF supposed to fly if there is a 1943 europe setup?  Either a slow 1942 spitfire IX or a very fast spitfire XIV-  There would be complaints from the LW if the RAF flew the spit XIV and complaints from the RAF if they had to fly an outclassed spit IX.  


Soooo.....bring the clipped wing Spitfire LF mk IX/XVI to Aces High.:)

Post by: Kweassa on October 27, 2002, 09:06:50 AM
AH Spit9 outclassed by the Bf109G-6? Or the Fw190A-5?

 You gotta be joking.

 It's gonna take helluva teamwork if the G-6s or A-5s meet Spit9s on equal terms, and that still wouln't mean up to snuff since mission theater will offer organized Spit pilots, unlike the dinky bunch in the MA! :D

 However, I agree on everything else, as I myself advocate the introduction of either the G-14, G-14/AS or the G-6/AS. :)

 Bf109s and Spitfires are unique. They met both the opening and closing of the war, and evolved with those rough six years that came to pass. No other single fighter type was so universally used throughout the wat as Spits and 109s have.

 So, more 109s and Spitfires are always welcome.

 However, the lfMkIX and the G-14(or 14/AS or 6/AS)... should remain low in priorities. Maybe after the IJAAF, IJN and VVS sets are well represented?

Sure, we need more RAF birds. LF -- yes, great bird. Also I would like to see many early RAF buffs and fighters.

Only one comment, we have 3 soviet fighters, and 1 soviet attacker. That is all. Same time we have 3 versions of spitfire only. Not to say that we shall not have RAF birds, but I would prefer  more ballanced development of a planeset. At least give us an aircobra, it saw combat in many theaters of ww2, and was a successful VVS lendleased fighter.

I would like to see CV groups actualy leaving from the ports. I would like to see some flying boats and or something like the Sunderland. It would make a great adition to the flightline. It is bloody well armed too so. Water landings would just be great.

I would also like to see the sea modled corectly. I would love it if when I landed my chute in the water I floated and bobed or if I ditched my lanc in the sea it started to sink.

That it stuff that I want..
