Ive always used the XVI ina mass dogfight so this time tried something new, sisnt work to well though. When i was damaged enough i was flying straight for you so you could shoot me down and get your kill.

Maybe the IX would be a better bet next time. The turn is slightly better with that one but the tops speed isnt.... hmm choices to make.

Great game though, you both work well together

Reading this very interesting thread, I never read whether or not anyone would actually like to have high altitude bomber cover missions from the American perspective as some kind of DLC.

And would also be curious what kinds of missions or perspective you'd rather have.

[Tudorp15]

Yes...

I am a SAC kinda person myself.. I doubt that would ever really happen though, because high alt bombing missions are rather boring and not filled too much with action unless of course the bomber is attacked.. I have flown in a B-52 on a mock mission (yes a real one, in real time), and to be honest, as interesting as it was, I questioned what the hell I was thinking when I decided to ride with them. I was sitting in that B-52 in the EW officer seat for 13 hours, and never really saw much (that seat does not have a window)... I sat there in the dark for the most part staring at a huge panel with red back lighting reading gauges, etc listening to radio chatter for 13 spine numbing hours...

Wheather or not I buy any DLC will depend on:
A) how well the upcoming patch solves current issues and
B) how expensive the DLC is

Yeah, Korea would be awesome. Get myself a F-86E10 with a 6/3 Wing!! Oh man, no MiG could get me.

But an American high altitude bomber DLC? Meh, I could go either way really. It would be fun at the beginning because you wouldn't know what to expect, but after awhile of seeing some B17 with half a tail missing, and even more damage limping back home!? That might get a bit tedious.

I'd like to see more american stuff simply because there are much less american planes. Some of my favorite planes are of the american variety and it's sad to see them missing. If they just add in the B-24, and most importantly the B-25, then all shall be forgiven.

I don't think the b24 would act any differently than the 17 and the b25 would probably be along the lines of the a20. I don't know if putting them in the game is of any real vaule. However, having three Hienkels and two Stukas doesn't have any value either! A p38 makes more sense, but if it has the characteristics of the 47, would you use it in a dogfight? Being a video game, the strategic aircraft designs used in the war really get eaten up by the agile, fast and light fighters in the game. It can't be helped unless you make a scenario only for certain type aircraft. Just my thoughts.

[mattd27]

First of all the idea of essentially a B-25 with 4 engines has always appealed to me. And it was the most produced bomber of the war, that must be worth noting. It would be cool to have an alternative to the B-17.

However I can totally see your point about the P-38 and would welcome it to the game.

Also, a bit off topic, but the "B-24 Liberator" has got to be one of the coolest plane names.
