At a minimum, I want all of these planes plus the ones still waiting to be built in my closet:

edit: to answer the poll directly: of course I would like biplanes to be added or any other plane HTC blesses us with.

This was a poll, asking for an opinion, I gave mine.

This thread didnt say "lets have a discussion".

But, for what its worth:

No, I dont think we need Bi-planes.  They wouldnt be flown in the MA at all.

CT - This arena and anything done for it is a waste of HTCs time in my opinion.  Hardly anybody ever flies in it.   Having the CT players requests guide the future development efforts is a bit of the tail wagging the dog.  The MA pays the bills, CT is just a distraction.  hahahah I bet you dont like that.  :)

BiPlanes are fine for DOA, but they would just be a differant version of Baby Seal in the MA (and CT).

Yes... eventually. I'd love to see the Swordfish, but there are more immediate "needs".

Thats where you are wrong I and many other people would fly them in the main arena what makes you think they are obsolite?
I would like to see CR42 with its 50 cals or any other biwinger, and I promise you they would be well worth flying.  I don't get what you think is so obsolite about them though? if the answer is they are slow, 1: being slow can be a good advantage if you use it properly which is why I love A6m which is actuelly slower than allot of biwingers. and 2: they would make good dive bombers/bomber escourts, as well as "vulched feild fighters" because they could get up in the air before anyother plane and handle well at low or high speeds.

But like you said its a poll, but i dont mind having discussions in it.

Nope.

That would be the last thing I'd have them model.. after all the monoplanes.
