How about a bone for the old Dogs

[TwinBoom]

Dale its been years since we have seen new aircraft.  the terrain stuff is amazing along with Vr but how about a new toy.
the past has shown in my opinion to generate new interest with every addition..

just a thought

[oboe]

+1, just curious, I can't recall what the last new unit added to AH was.   Was it the battleship?

I'm just curious...do you mean new customers? Or more hours played by existing customers?

Can't tell right now when the battleship was added, but the last pilotable object added was the Tu-2 in tour 168 (jan 2014).
Last fighters (Yak-3 and Yak7b) as well as the last vehicles (the German Jagdpanzer trio) were all added six months earlier, tour 162 (jun 2013)

Yea! Bf 110F!

[Devil 505]

Yea! Bf 110F!

Easy enough to make by mixing the shapes of the existing C and G models. Not sure what performance data HTC would need.

Thanks, Lusche.   More than 6 yrs ago?   Wow, that's a long long time ago.   Hope HTC can find a way to finally update the Tempest and introduce something new too.

It has been awhile and the natives are getting wrestless.

RDR2's last update was 6 months back and they are going bonkers over there. Online folks are dressing up like clowns on some of the servers.

IF mix and match is ok then how bout a P47D22 or D23 Razorback with the same performance and hard points of the D-25 so they could mix and match the squadrons in the events arenas?  The 9th AF ground attack and PTO/CBI Jugs included lots of those birds.

And on top of that how bout adding the original canopy to the P51B/C  call it the 51B designation so the skins can be done that are accurate for the 'coffin hood' canopy 51s, use the P51C designation for the Malcom Hood version so those skins could be accurate.  Again for the mix and match of events and being able to 'climb in' to an accurate historically skinned version?  Yes I know both the 51B and C had both canopy types.  By separating them by B and C it would allow the additional slots and separate the canopy types.

Add a Spitfire LFVc with the added engine performance to make it fit better into the events time frames of 42-44 as the Spit Vb we have now is flying in 42-44 events in the lesser powered variant against the LW then it would have had.  The additional ammo the Vc carried would help as well and make it easier to represent the Malta Spits, the RAAF Spit Vcs and the CBI Vcs as Vbs did not go overseas to the PTO or CBI

Add the Me109E-7 with the DT/Bomb carrying capability and increased engine performance that would fit so well in the Desert air war, the early battle over France when the RAF started coming across in 41 and the Balkans and Russian front where they saw lots of action as fighter bombers.  The added performance would help spread the wealth in events too.

Graft the glass nose of the B25C/D onto the B25H so the B25 crowd can have a B25J and quit panicking about firepower on the glass nose version for events. That or modify the early version to allow for single tail gun 50s and additional 50s out the two side windows near the back so they will consider using them in events.

Just for fun add the Hawk 75/P36  as it was used from 40-44 all over the place whether it be the Finns, the French, or the Brits in the CBI into 44.  The early war events would benefit.

Finally throw in the Beaufighter VI or X as a new aircraft, so that the bird that was involved from 40-45 and all over the ETO/MTO/CBI/PTO would be available.

[800nate800]

yes please

[Volron]

FSO/Scenario wise, Beaufighter is wanted, but not needed.

Japan could use more aircraft in general: D4Y, B6N, Ki-45, J2M.

Italy also needs some love: C.200, SM.79, Z.1007, CR.42.

Would need to add the Gladiator as a counter to the CR.42 of course, for that early Africa Campaign.


These would allow for a more proper Pacific and Africa FSO/Scenario setups.


Now don't get me wrong, I'm not against the addition of the Beau one bit.  I believe it should come after Japan and Italy have much better presence in the game, especially in FSO and Scenario.

I wasn't in the game when the 51B came out, but I've been told that originally it did have the birdcage canopy and then was replaced by the Malcom Hood version. If this is true, could it be simply put back into the game alongside the MH model?

And this:

Just for fun add the Hawk 75/P36...

And finally:

Italy also needs some love: C.200, SM.79, Z.1007, CR.42.

Would need to add the Gladiator as a counter to the CR.42 of course, for that early Africa Campaign.

The Gladiator and CR.42 were the apex of biplane technology and would make for great fights! If you enjoy flying the WWI planes, you'll love these. The C.200 vs Hurri I would also offer excellent jousting. Throw in the Hawk 75 for good measure and you'd have all kinds of fun. As for new aircraft the Beaufighter of course and how about the P-51A; an original Allison variant of this legendary fighter.

What guppy said.

Thanks

[Scared]

i think it is pretty clear that they have lost interest. its sad, but that is the way she goes boys.
