I think I understand where Sax is coming from.  What attracted me to this game is the props, not the jets.  No need to get rid of what we have, but add props before jets...

He said never and remove what we have. That is BS... while I think many, many AC should be add 1st. If the AC in question does in fact meet the criteria for inclusion. It should be at some point.  Or do you not want a complete WWII plane set?

Hello Bronk,

I want it complete to the umpteenth degree.  From GV's, bombers, fighters, ships, and yes even the jets.  I have noticed that there are different priorities for just about everyone as to what should be included into the inventory and when.  Jets just happen to be much lower of a priority for myself.

Somewhere I heard that Skuzzy does the modeling.

The type of modeling Skuzzy does has nothing to do with airplanes.

actually i like fighter ace better than AH, for many reasons that are not worth arguing about so i wont begin to list them.

but for the purposes of this discussion lets just say that the one thing it is not is a "clone" of AH.

take the time to play it, by that i mean more than just the free for all arena (which is a great constant furball arena similar to the DA but alot more intense).

the other arenas are great especially if you like scenario's or mission oriented play.

the only advantage i think AH has over it is player base. there are more people playing AH at any given time. but in FA there are less porkers and score hores (maximum points come from downing other fighters) so those looking for a fight can find pilots willing to engage them.

i guess if you like an arcade flight model and very little player population, FA is a great game.  On the other hand, you'd probably be better off playing Blazing Angels on your console, the flight model is just about the same and you'll probably find more action.

he failed miserably trying to get his kill count high in the MA so he thought he'd try his hand at getting his post count high.  Compensating for short comings one can say.

well i guess you must have spent all of 20 seconds playing FA, because if you'd have stayed on long enough to actually have engaged anyone in the game then you would know that the flight Sim in there is far more advanced then in AH as well as the fact that the the graphics are superior. you would also know that the missions and interactive play is far more immersing and in depth than the pork and run mentality that is so predominant in AH MA.

i don't know where you get the "arcade" idea about FA. maybe that was the appearance of it years ago, but it has long ago surpassed AH in every area except coms (which is easy to deal with) and player base. from what i understand it has grown greatly in player base recently.

its a good game with its pros and cons as well as AH, so unless you have actually played it often enough recently to know it well, then don't knock it.

AH has problems all its own and not everyone playing other games have good things to say about it.

As far as the current jet we have, it blows. It absolutely blows. Can't dogfight at all, can't turn worth a crap (190 fighting a 262 feels like a super spitfire in comparison) and the ballistics on the guns are awful.

Instead, the He162 has shorter range, a single engine, different handling (more capable of dogfighting) and less armament, but in the case of the A2 model it has MG151/20s, which would be much easier to kill P51s with than the spud guns on the 262.

The differences are day and night. It's an La7 compared to the P51D. Both have high speeds, one has better turning and better guns for easier kills, and much much shorter range.

It's as valid a request as the Meteor (probably more so) At least 2 units had He162s and there's been hints that one or two more Hitler Youth units were equipped with them, but most paperwork at this time of the war was being burned in the streets of Berlin, so records are sketchy.

I don't care what nationality it is, but it would be "fun"* to fly a more nimble jet in this game.

* = Fun not to be taken as "historically accurate," or "numerically representative of the real war" -- meant only as something worthy of spending perks on -- something this game lacks most of the time.
