Geez the B-25 hasn't even made the final cut and you people are complaining already??? So what if it is outclassed in the LW arenas. Does that matter? I fly early and mid war planes in the LW arenas all the time. So what if everyone recognizes the thing? Think there may be a reason why?

I've voted for the B-25 every time. Not because it's some uber plane that will dominate, but because it was the most used medium bomber of the second world war. More were built and flown in combat in EVERY theater from the begining of the war to the end of the war. That's why it has my vote. Not because it's an American bomber. Not because it's been in the movies, but because it DESERVES a place in this game. That plane EARNED a reputation as a tough and capable aircraft during the entire war.

The B-25 has my vote until it beaten by something else. At that point I'll quit voting because I don't think any other plane listed has the right to be in this game before the B-25.

Honestly, I don't think the 25 will win... I think the 39 will. And now, after what happened in the first 2 rounds..... go looking for a red horn!

Interesting, that's exactly why I havn't voted for it....knowing it will make it into the game at some point anyway.

ok so the b25 served right through out the war,now do we class that as the American part of the war 1941 to 1945.
if so then the he111 deserves it more because it served from 1939 till 1945.But no one remembers it?

I think no matter what the vote the out come has already been decided,proberly the b25 will win or the p39.i don't think the others stand a chance.
As part of the forth coming Combat tour b25s were attacking france as well as b17s and b24s so it makes sence.

You know I really take exception to this whole arguement.

For the first 3 years of flying back in brand W I was an A6m & Japanese fanatic.
I didn't like, didn't much care about and never flew US iron.

Once I moved over to AH I slowly started moving from a strickly turn & burn game to a more energy based style. I tried spitfires for a while, then moved up to the C.205, had a brief fling with the 190a5, and eventually moved up to the Russian fighters. Spending most of my time in the Yak & La5fn.

Where in all that 10 years of history does it show ANY bias or preference for US planes?

Now I'll agree that AH needs a lot more than just one plane from that list.
In fact we need the whole list and as soon as possible would suit me fine.

Assuming that that just because I happen to live in the US means I'm going to have a bias to US planes is not just wrong. Its just plain insulting. US players love every plane in the game. It matters not what country they were built.
If they were unique, had something they did well, or were just "cool" us US pilots have loved them.

Agreed.

Except, I do not love the P-40B.

What silly country built that plane?

I agree with Ghi.

Yeah, the paying players should NEVER have a voice in what they get for their money. That's just stupid.

A whine has been recorded. Someone call the waaahmbulance.

Some comments I saw on text thus far-

"the 410 is a jet bomber like the arado"

"the 39 is like a B Pony but has 37mm cannon" - this one mildly more amusing because of who said it

"pretty sure the yak 3 is a russian jet"

"b25 carries more ord than 24 and its faster"

Etc. etc. etc.

The term "unwashed masses" comes to mind. Give the player base a bone with this vote, sure, but in the future let the people who know something about what might be a fun and/or useful aircraft in the arenas make the choice. And by that I say HTC.

Ah yes, the nanny argument. I like it. The people's needs and wants should always be met by those who know better what they need or want.

The FACT is that those who are unhappy with HTC allowing a vote on the next plane are those who didn't get the plane THEY wanted. If only the "unwashed masses" had vote THEIR way, then voting would be a GOOD thing. I'm stunned, absolutely stunned I tell you.

I'm surprised you're stunned... I mean, you were here for the MA splits, right?
