My wishlist
« on: June 08, 2008, 05:54:36 AM »
This is my wish list for the planes I would like to see eventually added to the game.  Yes, it's mostly slanted towards early to mid war planes but that a large gap in the current plane set.  Yes, I do realize that some will come in here to post how such and such a plane will be a hanger queen in the LW arena.  Well, duh.  These planes will help fill out the large hole in the early war set and fill up some gaps in the mid war but mostly help flesh out the EW arena.

Mate, that's quite a wish given the rate of development over the past 8 years. This is my wish list...

Update all the current aircraft to AH2 levels
Add a realistic weather environment with real time weather engine.
Variety of real world Maps with realistic terrain Mesh,Landclass and seasonal Textures.

Then start working on new planes.

One wish that could go in tomorrow, dump dot dar!  This isn't X-Wing.

That is one weird list!  :confused:

While having lot of planes that would definitely fill gaps like you said, there most certainly are many that wouldn't...

Gloster Gauntlet is a good example, what gap would it fill? Only action that it saw in the war was limited ground support in RAF colours against Italians. Even Finnish Air Force, desperate for combat aircraft, didn't use it in combat except brief experiments as a night fighter (no kills).

Then you have a Reggiane Re 2001 CN2 on the list which was a night fighter version of the fighter with only 74 built and at the same time missing the most important Italian fighter, the C.200. Again I really don't see exactly which gap Re 2001 CN2 would fill? Also why CR.32 and no CR.42? And so on...

These (for example) I certainly agree on:

Beaufighter
Ju-87B-1
Polikarpov I-153
Pe-2
Yak-1
MiG-3
LaGG-3
Yak-7
Vickers Wellington
Gloster Gladiator Mk II
SM.79
CANT Z.1007

Thank you for the Brewster HTC!

Oh, I don't expect these planes to be added in my lifetime, think of it as my gift to the future generations of AH players.

Gee, such a generous wh*re, and all this time I thought your only gift to future generations would be a training video on "how to steal kills" and a new strain of incurable STD.  :D

It fills the early war 1939-1940 gap as it was the Danes primary fighter when they surrendered.

As the future player flying a Westland Whirlwind is trying to scratch that burning feeling away, he'll thank and curse me in the same breath.
