Been quiet on the AH homepage for a while. Wonder what they are working on

My bet is on a Soviet level bomber.  Given the trend over the past 1 year or so I almost think that HTC is possibly working on the Ki-61 remodel with the addition of the Ki-100 model at the same time.   :aok

Other than that, I could see the Diamler AC Mk I (armored car/scout car).  This would somewhat add something new in the fact that it could run straight in to position for a shot, and then retreat straight out without turning around. The commander could pilot the vehicle with another set of controls.  At 50mph+, it could prove to be a PITA with that ability.  Granted, the 2 Pdr wouldn't do much but annoy a lot of tanks but it could be another bane to the M18, M3, M8, Wirby, etc.  Also, there was a version with the 6 Pdr later in the war.  Heck, offer it with BOTH turrets.  :aok

I could also see the addition of the British Wellington medium bomber, the French D520, the Italian Savoia-Marchetti SM-79  medium bomber, Panzer Mk III (and MANY off shoots!), or even adding in the SdKfz 251-22 (7.5cm AT gun).

Magic 8-ball says couple of GV's and an update to an existing plane.  Probably a couple of the easier tweaks that make sense from the Wishlist forum.

I've noted this before in previous discussions though here is a post.

Bottom line, when consumers (us dweebs on AH) get too many choices we ultimately pull back. Too many planes and tanks may actually hurt AH. I know, very counter-intuitive and you will immediately roll your eyes and laugh. Yet, this very concept is taught in MBA programs from Harvard to Stanford, and every one in between.

Maybe they update a few models, and if they add a new one they should take one or two down. Maybe only two or three P-47s, not all of them; only three Spits, not five or six, etc. etc. As for tanks, likely only a handful of tanks, not the twenty plus we currently have. Too many choices hurts.

Too many choices hurts.



But that's a totally different kind of choices. The consumer does not have to chose which Spitfire or which tank he should buy...  they are all included. The business has already been done at the time, the consumer chose AH with it's huge package of different planes and GV. The 'business choice' in this context would be between AH, WT and other sims. Nobody will stop playing AH 'because there are too damn many planes' in it.

This 'choice problem' would be applicable if HT would offer a plethora of different sims to buy, each with only minor differences. Then you are having problems to decide which one you really want/need.

I personally doubt the GV's as we just got 3 new ones in the last update.
I could even imagine the next update having 'only' one or two planes updated along with other gameplay changes and fixes. Not all updates bring new toys to AH...  :old:

14 years and we still don't have...

Curtiss SB2c Helldiver, Ju-52 or a Pe-2

Those would be a good start.

Ki-61 remodel / Ki-100 inclusion would be a shrewd release.  :rock
