Outstanding.

And the cartoon on those really sweet looking bombers is, well, a cartoon, yes. And really nice.

How come the pilots heads look like pilots with hats and headphones? I thought they were supposed to be immersion killer goofy blocks with a triangle nose.

Damn right I can complain about it.

One of the reasons that I left WB was because of the idiotic decision to add the B-24 instead of the Lancaster.

"Hmm, lets see.  We can add a bomber that is significantly different than the B-17, or we can add an aircraft that is American and essentially just a B-17 in different clothes.  Lets add the American one, that way it wont offer anything new to the game!"

Yeah, great idea.

Lem, in case you've been on another planet, that was an MG statement.

I don't think I would talk cartoons at this point Lem. Little work to do, but great start.

As I understand things, the reason the B-24 was modelled was because it was partially done when iEN took over Warbirds. So, rather than start a bomber from scratch, they simply finished the B-24. Makes sense to me.

The planes that HT has decided to model hasn't exactly been appealing to everyone, either. I'm still waiting for a Ki-43.  
Give and take I guess.

I hope they get flight models adjusted..
graphics doesnt really impress me in general..  but I like more varying and smoother height changes and airfields which has dirt runways and are not as visible as those are in AH. (AH = big platform where is sticked up some buildings which are very visible and acks are in middle of bullseye)

Since the Lanc was primarily a night bomber and there is no usable night, plus the fact that the great percentage of players are American kind of leads me to believe that the B-24 was a good choice.

To say nothing of stats like this:

The Lancaster III has 1903 kills and has been killed 3303 times.

The B-17G has 3709 kills and has been killed 4540 times.


Looks like the Lanc isn't the most popular bird in AH either.
