A man after my own heart. I agree with GMan though. The sheer number of bottles you guys would receive might be something to think about for the Me-410.

Not sure about plane, although a clipped wing Spit V would be nice - talk about turn rates! Would like to see some of the more unusual ordinance i.e. Grandslam bomb and Dambuster bomb (if there was a use for it) carried by Lancs, and the Hiball bouncing bomb carried by Mossies. Incendiaries and flares for pathfinding missions, would look good at night, especially with the updated lighting in next release.

I really enjoyed flying it back in the EAW days...sure would love to see it here.  The Komet would be unique too.


You can now fly the Komet in EAW with the SWOTL campaign.

Wow, this thread was started so long ago that people were still asking for the Ar234 and A20 in the beginning. But if I had to give my vote, I'd say the Japanese are missing Ki-43 and the German He 111.

The 109g-10 is damn near a K-4, only difference is K-4 has superior high alt performance and the g-10 is more maneuverable. So while i'd still like to see the K-4 in game, i think it could be a few notches down on the list.

As for the He-129, that's the HS129-b-3/wa.  The earlier hs-129's only had 20mm, few hs-129b-2's had 37mm's. Toward end of the war 37 became ineffective so they mounted the mighty 75 on that bird. Would be fun to fly but the bad thing is it's undefended, slow and has very sluggish controls.  It would be fighterfood/flakfood in aces high ;)

I'd like the see the Ju-52 both cargo and bomber varients =)

The germans need old iron annie cappin bases in CT,

Also, where in the blue hell is the stuka? Lol

Give us a Ju-87D and G =)

If they model the ki-43 i hope they model some sub varients, the basic varient with 2 12.7 mg's or 12.3's whatever size the japanese guns are, are not going to cut it lol. Ki-43 is one of the few planes that is more maneuverable than the zero =)

the ki-43-II had the 12.7mm's, that is going to suck =)

I'm afraid the Sea Fury is post-war aircraft. The first production aircraft rolled off the assembly line in early September, 1946.
