I think that in the next poll there should be a factor added to each person's vote based on their years as a subscriber to at least try to remotely reflect some value given to faithful customers. When I was a two week noob I would have voted for the B-29 as well.
<- Four year noob and longtime fan of the B-29. WTG HTC!
Why not ask that only the cool and omnipotent clique of uber bbs pilots be allowed to vote?
Non-uber paying customers surely don't know that they should
really want some Early/Mid War fighter (so they can get slaughtered by the folks who championed the new "gap filler", while choosing to stay in the Late War monsters they have down to a science).
Having the B29 win the "poll" proves to me this sim/game is heading more and more towards being an arcade style of game. Yeah, go ahead and put the " " in under my quote, but the fact remains that people voted more for what is familiar to them rather than what is more true to the AH realm. The number of gaping holes in the plane line up is so obvious to those of us who know of thing or two about WWII.
Ah well... life goes on. I just hope the thing gets perked beyond belief and has no drones available.
How many "gap fillers" like the C.202, Spit I, F4F, P-39D or P-40B do you fly on a regular basis? Why does every addition have to be some kind of "gap filler" when so much of the planeset is largely ignored by the customer base?
