This is a good game but we have to remember that not EVERYONE that plays this game knows about planes lol. It would be helpful if there was a page that had a layout of the planes strength's and weaknesses to help the player pick out that plane for example and this is just an example I dont know these planes well so dont take this layout seriously

SpitV:

Top Speed:*
Climb:*
Turn Rate:*****
Roll:***
Vertical:**
Weaponry:*

Summary of SpitV:
Blahblahblahblah

It would help out a lot of new users and even some vets to make their decision of what plane to get. I know there's a netaces.org but if we have the layout even in the game it would make it more helpful to let the new users know which plane to pick. It would be nice if I can just right click a plane on the menu and it has an option saying SpitV's attributes and I can just go right to the interface and see the stats of the plane. Just something to think about guys.

especially since FMs have changed and netaces.org isnt updated that often

Granted its still a work in progress. He is still working on getting data & writeups for planes most recently added. Even so its the best resource I've seen for planes.

Air warrior had a good write up for each plane, when i first started out i was surprised that there wasnt a good write up for each plane in ah. even something as simple as a star rating would be good enough for most new players since its all relative and numbers dont necasarily mean alot to new players who dont know what is fast and slow in prop terms.

a range rating would be good too.

I have been to Soda's webpage a lot and although a lot of information has been helpful, some people dont know if 3000ft climb per minute is good or not. When Soda says a Fw190A5 can turn good, some people think it could turn like a zero. I heard the F4U-1d can go pretty fast but how long does it take to get to that speed?

I would love to work on this type of website... but I don't have the AHII experience to accurately rate the aircraft. Would someone be interested in supplying the ratings and details?
