What's the one WWII era plane...

[DA98]

My modest opinion:

P-47D
A-20
and...

MISTEL!!!

It's easy to do, put a 190 over a Ju-88, and you have a Mistel  .

Here's another vote for the Me-323 Gigant.  Make it capable of hauling either 1 Panzer or two M16's.

Equip it with RATO (as I believe some were) for takeoff.  

Then do away with the 'tank spawning 25 miles from the hanger' concept.

Seriously guys, just imagine a flight of 323s lifting off from a field.  They fire their RATO's and engulf the field in smoke and flame, flying low beneath radar they make their way through the defences to the enemy HQ, where they disgorge their panzers and M16 anti-air units.

Gotta be the 323

Unless they meet single cannon Hog who kills all them Gigants and panzers

The PV2 Harpoon "D"
An excellent 2 engined bomber with eight 50s in the nose, a standard twin 50 top turret, (not shown), a stinger 50 and was capable of carrying bombs, rockets and or a torpedo.
Many of the Buccaneers used to fly a restored PV2 to airshows for a number of years and talked with a number of pilots who loved them.
I have all specs and pictures if interested.

>POP QUIZ: To my knowledge the Shinden has been modeled in at least one other flight sim. Name one.


Aces of the Pacific, 1946 Invasion Add-On.  Also added the Bearcat, Tigercat, Kikka, and hmmmmmm, probably something else I'm forgetting.

On the Shinden question the flight sim that came to mind was Fighter Duel for the Amiga. A definite classic.

Bring on the 410..  WOHOOO

S!

My vote goes to ....The Mosquito !

This great plane is mostly made of..wood and is used in several mission types.
It can be used for interdiction , but also as CAS or even as a night fighter.

It looks really mean with a nice camo and it has some great guns/cannons in the nose  

Now all together:

Mossie ! Mossie !  Mossie !........

I would like to see:

Any version of the P-51A/A-36....would look nice alongside the macci 202 and spit 5, and underrepresented in flight sims.

ANY russian meduim bomber

Late model P-39 or P-63, for the Reds

A useful German Medium/heavy bomber, to make an Axis Versus Allies area viable.

Any plane that can land in the water..PBY, H6K, H8K, etc

Lastly, If other late-war "almost-made-its" are added, then the P-51H should be added too.  Actually saw service in 1945 (but not in combat), top speed of 470 or so--would keep the pony competative.

Personally though, I don't care much for the 1945-1946 "superplanes"
