After the recent poll, I've decided to make another one to see how many people liked these 3. The martin isn't here because of course it would win :lol: . Thanks for voting. (7 day poll)
YOUR VOTE COUNTS!!!! VOTE NOW!
The Convair 340 is included in the Convair 240 vote.
-
I chose the Comet, I might swing to the CV-340 if it's performance is satisfactory and shows improvmnet over the 240 and M 4-0-4 though.
Advantages of the comet:
-Higher speeds, they allow overcutting on routes, which won't turn them into battle fields as quickly
-Decent fuel burn.
-Good enough range that you can operate till you're near max and still make a good profit.
Downside:
Could've used more seats.
-
as the biggest Convair op in the game... i can tell you they are great HOWEVER from a strict standpoint of performance the CW-20 is a better choice, bigger, longer range. More expensive too of course...
-
I operate all :lol:
-
I've been kinda partial to the Martin 2-0-2, however I have a couple of CW-20's on order to do a little comparison and see which works out better for me.

Why do a poll when this resource shows how people vote with their wallets?

he wants a poll where planes other than page hermes and connies win ;)

As owner of 76 Curtis CW-20s, they have my vote.

The Convair offcourse :D
Especially the 340 will be great :D If it's a big improvement I'm going to replace all my 240's :lol:

I operate about 15 Hermes.
And about 29 Connies leased from you.
:lol:
-
With 66 Curtisses I had to vote for it, nice little plane :)
And my 31 Connies aint bad either, but what I really love is my 28 Tupolevs :D
Will order 20 more Tu's tonight, hehe.

I have heard good things about them from an alliance member. I think I should order these as a "step" between the M 4-0-4s and Connies. I hope he works well for me.

I'll see your 76 and raise you 301!
:D

I'll fold.
My vote is Comet. Most flights in same time.
-
i picked comet because i just bought one :roll: i looked them all over before i bought though, so its kinda accurate

The martin isn't here because of course it would win :lol: .
well duh! I've got i think 7 martins-more than any plane in my fleet. :D
p.s. finally jps makes his own thread instead of replying to someone else's :roll:

The only thing the Martin beats is the Comet. Players vote with their Euros, and the money is on the CW20.

Yes, but the CW-20 has been in the game since the start. The Comet just showed up.
It all depends on your strategy and what else you have in the fleet. I emphasize high aircraft utilization, so speed (more routes on a plane) is more important than range (long flights = lower aircraft utilization). That's why I picked the Martin.
The price increase and drop in seat count for the Comet isn't worth the speed gained. I can get 2 Martins for the price of one Comet, but the Comet's not twice as fast as the Martin so the two Martins can do more routes with more seats.
The Curtiss probably won't sell too many more since the Convair 340 has it beat in every category but range, and using a 50-seater on a 1700+ mile route doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Using a CW-20 on long routes can work, and work well.
However i agree that the CV340 is probably going to clean it's clock, i'm getting great returns out of my fleet already 8)

:lol: In Europe, you're probably better off with Comet due to the proximity of the cities. In NA, I like the extra passengers and range (though lower speed) of the CW-20, not to mention being 6 million cheaper.
I'm going to phase them out for something better though. Now that I'm a Mogul. :D

I've stopped buying anymore CW-20's. It's day is past, indeed!
