I kind of agree with Lowfighter here:
1) I see a lot of projects that are unfinished at best, or released as Betas and never completed. Take the Avenger for example, or adding all gunners to bombers? I thought someone was doing that but looks like that kind of fell through ... Only bombers with ALL guns are B-17G and B-29. What about B-17D, B-17E, B-17F, B-24, Ki-21?
2) there are a lot of mods we can do that do not require new models, or very small changes to current models. Like we need a P-38F for the PTO, which is mainly a FM/DM mod to the current one put in a new slot. Same with Avengers. We could give them all a new FM/DM and put them in a new slot and just use the same model.
3) I still see a lot of focus on the ETO. There is nothing wrong with this per say, and I am overly excited about the Typhoon, one of my childhood favorites, but the reality is the PTO is DESPERATE. The Japanese plane set was pathetic until all AI were made flyable. And several KEY planes are missing. You cannot have late war PTO maps without a Helldiver. Also a Judy would be nice to offset the helldiver.
@ magpie - I know and respect the whole what the modder wants. I really do. I just feel the PTO from Oleg was shameful and dissapointing at best, and know that we have the ability to add knew stuff, the one theater that needs it most is getting the least attention. Just how I feel, but I still respect the amount of dedication and work put into any project, and of course will be appreciative and enjoy what ever mods do come out.
But the fact is the PTO is lacking ... A LOT.
