I'm sooooo going to be on the day the B25 gets released.  I'm polishing up my 20s and 30s just to be ready for them.  Will be nice to watch them go down in flames.

We all decided we'd get together and vote in the B-25 just to piss you off. You should feel blessed, with all the work that went into getting all those people to vote for that plane just to piss you off.

The wailing and wringing of hands just won't stop. :rofl

I voted for the P-39, even though my choice didn't win I am still happy for Toad.

HiTech gave us, the community, the opportunity to vote on which plane we wanted next. Maybe we should just be glad he gave us the opportunity to choose the next aircraft to be modeled instead of :cry  about which one won?

In honor of the winner. I propose a toast.

Lift up your glasses, cans or what have you.

Here's to the Mitchell bomber. It was there in the beginning and it saw the last days of a brutal conflict. It was the courageous stead of many a fallen airman. It lives today on the airshow circuit and in some museums for those of you that haven't seen one close up. Spend a minute or two away from the game and put your hands on some history this summer. May its props continue to turn in this arena, whether it be in the sights of its enemy or its bombadier.:o



Cheers:aok

However keep in mind that the 25 won 4 out of 5 of the votes. That says alot as well.

Oh I’m not saying that the B-25 shouldn’t have won, I’m pointing out that the P-39 voters aren’t the only ones who didn’t get their first choice plane.  HTC made as many people happy as possible with this election.

This is all well and good, kingsix. But, now, you ought to provide some bonafides, such as an ingame ID.

ANY a-hole can say they've been in since AHI, give us your handle, it looks better.

Ok from this CM's point of view.

I would have like to seen anything other then an American or German aircraft added to the inventory.  The MA & the SEA would be more fulfilling place's with a more diverse selection af planes to balance the conditions or events.
