Hristo I agree with you on many things, I disagree In a few points

Yes, Give them their Spit XIV...but AFTER we LW get Fw190A-5 and Fw190D-9. And a 109K-4 wont be so bad too

.
Really, LW NEEDS some COMPETITIVE Fw190. The current one is a buff killer that cant kill buffs because the 1.8K buff-uber-fire. I want a fighter and A-5 was great!!!. and also we need a plane to catch those runnin runstangs, so WE NEED fw190D-9. After that, yep, get your XIV.
I agree too with Me262. It isnt a uberplane, its only a Speedy buff killer. Try to turn in that thing and you are ded. Try to slow down a little and you are ded. Try to kill anything but a buff and you cant (those Mk108...

). I would suggest to model it with all its faults. Make the engines SLOOOOOW to accelerate thrust. Make the plane the E-Bleeder it was turning...and Make an arena with 4 types of fields: Little, medium, Large, and Very Large. Each plane needs a kind of base, and whe Me262 would be restricted to the Very Large. (as in fact it was in WWII). In hands of a Experten like Hristo, it would be pure death. In my hands, for instance I would be a pure dead. This plane was possibly the hardest to fly well in WWII. Make it just as difficult as it was. Not an uberplane...an EXPERTEN plane. Its fair to include it.
Said this I'll also say that the 262 isn't a priority. Jap and Russian fans are disgusted (right to be) cuz they only have one plane each. See I dont like Jap planes, nor russian ones. but It is UNFAIR for them to have only one plane each. So there are priorities and this is a BIG one.
Hristo, I cant agree with you in He162, Do335...even When I'd love to have a Go229 again

Lets make this realistic, so we have REAL fighting planes of WWII not what-if planes.
And to those that says the Ta-152 was only a hi alt fighter...the Ta152 met in low alt furballs against Tempests V in last days of the war. They KICKED the tempest's asses. I there was only one ta152 Jagdgeschwader operational in last days of WWII (i cant recall exactly wich one). and there was one German Ta152 Ace. (dont remember his name but was one of the Tempest's bellybutton kickers

)
There are a bunch of planes to be modelled before Me262 and Ta152. We need russian (Yaks and Las), Japanese (zeros, Ki84, Ki61...) GERMANS!!!!!! (FW190A-5, D-9, Me109K-4)...right now there is an unbalanced situation. too many Brits and Americans for so few LW and Italian modelled Aircraft...
just my 0.02$
