Um... is it just me, or does that sound like we might have a new Russian tank on the way?

W000!

  Another tank?  I would think in a game called Aces High the relative absence of Japanese AC would be more pressing. If not downright embarrassing.

I'm with Easymo, we need planes, not tanks.

How about a compromise: a Japanese tank!  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Is this a troll?

Check the Hostile Shores new broadcasts, specifically the allied one.  I was referring to this passage:

 

Quote

Good news for our tankers

For weeks we have printed reports of our tanks being outgunned in many situations. Enemy Tigers and Panthers carry armour that our tanks have trouble punching though. Daily Telegraph has acquired information that suggests that new type of cannon is already in wide spread production and should be ready available on all newly produced tanks. While new cannon is top secret, our military experts suggest that its is most likely to be a copy of the famed 88 millimetre gun that can be found on enemy Tiger tanks. Finally our boys will get the firepower to deal the Hun the final blow !

I have know special knowledge of anything.  I'm just pointing out that this "news broadcast" seems to suggest something.  I was speculating on what that something might be.

easymo, chill dude.  Last version HTC pumped out russian and german AC, and a crapload of planes all told.  I'm sure the Japanese AC are in the queue for the next go round.  They can't do everything at once, and that's aside from other concerns like availability of data and such things.  Also there are marketing implications.  They'll get there, and they are getting there far faster than WB ever did.
