More Fighters and UPGRADE What We Have
« on: September 14, 2014, 02:10:11 PM »
We need more fighters that pilots would use, not like the Jap Plane KI - 43 - II. This plane was brought on board and most of us flew it one time and that was it! Then we got those wonderful Bombers He 111 h. If you haven't tried it, don't waste your time. Why are these planes added to the game? The only reason I can think of is they could be used in the early war game. But I doubt it.
We need more competitive planes. And many of the planes we have, need features to be updated. This wouldn't take much to focus on this instead of spending time , energy and resources on Water World. 
I go down the list of planes to make a selection and I go No, No, No, Boring, Boring, Boring, nope, nada. That's where we are at. Flying the same 3 planes over and over.
PLEASE GIVE US A FEW NEW COMPETITIVE PLANES!!!

One man's opinion I guess. On the other hand some find your competitive planes to be boring boring boring.

But seriously do you have an aircraft in mind that you would like to have in the game?

The is a common cognitive disconnect in our game that helps keep new toys coming, or old toys getting updated. Wanting new rides for innocent reasons presented on face value opposed to wanting something new and better for the sake of new and better and some how more powerful.

Kimo displays this in a honest forward manner without knowing it.

 PLEASE GIVE US A FEW NEW COMPETITIVE PLANES!!!

The wish for some other ride that might just click with your current abilities, and give you a sudden boost above your existing skill set. Opposed to visiting the TA or the DA for ACM lessons.

Arlo, we have all been there.

You forgot to ask for the X-Wing, F22, and Mig-29.  You're the type of player that needs the latest, the greatest, and the most "flash-bang" colorful aircraft in order to "enjoy" the game whatever it may be.  I bet you're the type of guy who claims your team favorites are the ones who won last years championship game. I bet your the easiest guy to get on the bandwagon for what is "best".  If you cant see the bigger picture than perhaps step back, take a deep breath, and try again. AH is far bigger than being an arcade game.

Why don't you try taking a plane that isn't one of the "three" you're flying over and over.  Try the 109G's, P47's, Yak's, etc. Leave the arcade planes in the hanger and challenge yourself. Do you not have a sense of "I accomplished something" when you land kills in a P40? 109G? Zekes? 190's? Etc. There are DOZENS of fighters to chose from. Learn them. CHALLENGE THYSELF!

buy a jet game and go fly jets. the HE111 and and the Ki 43 are some of the best things HTC could do. not every aspect of this game revolves around the LW MA

What are the three planes "we" are flying over and over?  I would bet that your three planes are mothballed in my hangar. 

And you don't need the at, it's superfluous.  :)

Nooooo. Don't buy a 'jet game' like USCH recommends (I understand where he's coming from but we need ya).

HTC/Dale and co. have been adding uber planes since the inception of the game. There is no shortage of them.
There may even be more added. However, needing another uber added to overcome boredom indicates, to me,
not so much a problem with the plane set as it may be with how you approach boredom. As another suggested,
fly something outside the '3 plane set' (seriously?) you have limited yourself to. Come join those of us who
fly historical events. Join or fly with a squad that has an historical slant in the MA. You may be surprised how
'un-boring' things can get. And spread the joy. Get others hooked.

Anyhoo. On a side note, I'd like to see various nationalities of ships modeled to promote more sea warfare (perhaps
luring that other small niche that is into WWII surface ocean warfare). And it would help events,as well. If it sounds
like I like historical scenarios ... well ..... guilty. (And I even like flying historically in the MA).  :cheers:
