And that's the thing, if you run that poll on this site, you will get the response you expect.. but our ~100 active players are just a very small sampling of the gamers out there. I totally agree that Ares could do a better job with their release for us, but take what I found when I went to Prague last month. The local game store there that all our Prague pilots fly at had 3 or 4 for the camo British Spitfires sitting on the shelf. You can't find those anywhere in the US, UK or Aussie. But there they were sitting on the shelves while all the other Spits were gone. Each geographical area wants different planes. Pair that with limited production volume and working capital... and it's nearly impossible to get a perfect release.
None of us old timers wanted the Snipes, we already have them and they mostly gather dust. But new players do want them, so there were sales to be had. The fact that Ares reused the old Series 2 molds, meant we got equal numbers of Snipes as D.VIIs
I'm always hard at work on Ares to break those releases up and or print more of one type then the other.
