Number of flyables per release and the future.

[Redwo1f]

Reading threads in the general discussion and thinking about the current system of releases got me really pondering this  and wondering what the community response may be - so here is a chance to vote (and perhaps give some partially interesting data to the developers). Note - regarding poll answer options, I realize it is not necessarily directly 1:1 transferable regarding aircraft modeling/development and work in other areas. The second question relates to some lateral shifting options that would utilize many of the same aircraft already present, but in a new campaign (eg. Kursk, for example - but could be relevant to any number of future possibilities (Western front, Pacific, or wherever they may eventually venture).

This is the only game that really activates my completion-itis.  I think I'll hold off on polls like this until they've finished the projects that are at hand.

Really though, I want all the planes they are willing to make and maps too - be it one at a time or in a 'battle of' pack.

It depends on the context.

 

I would love releases which had a greater variety of roles (e.g. Fw-189 for recon) and I'd also accept a release with a small number of aircraft (e.g. Eastern European or Italian scenario from 1944/1945 - which would end up re-using a lot of German aircraft).

 

On the other hand, I might fear seeing only American aircraft in some contexts if the number of aircraft was less (e.g. the Spit IX and Tempest would be cut... and hopes to see a Typhoon, Mosquito or Lancaster would be even further from possibility).

 

I would love to pay for an expansion to the existing campaigns... Li-2, Il-4, Pe-3, I-153, Fw-189, Ju-87D5, IAR80 or IAR81, Bf-110G4 late (30mm cannon), Ju-88C6 dayfighter... are all appropriate aircraft for several of the theatres we already have... It could be a paid DLC which would work with existing maps!

 

It does raise the interesting additional question: Would you pay for an aircraft/campaign expansion without a new theatre?

Indeed it is. I tried to go back and add it as a 3rd question, but unfortunately I cannot.

I might make another post in the future for fun - so no worries :)

At the end of the day the development team will use whatever plane set they determine appropriate irrespective of whether it follows the current model or not, there will not always be a option to pick equal numbers from apposing sides, it could if needs be all are axis or allied or any mix there of.

 

We will be offered a DLC that the development team think is good enough to keep us interested, ours will be a choice, buy or not, any mix of aircraft is good for me as long as they are relevant to the particular theatre of that DLC, that said even if types were added to fill gaps within the existing series we already have I cannot imagine I would complain, only issue is I guess if something was added that had no particular place whatsoever in the theatres so far, it has to have a role to play on one of the current/projected maps.

 

As for using the existing aircraft we have in the current series on a DLC using just maps, yes, I would go for that also.

 

 

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.
