Variants and New Planes we really need...

Jester, your list is very very good!
Add some earthquake bombs for the Lancaster though ;)

Anyway, to this from Guppy I belive:
"Regarding the Spit LFIXe. Let's be clear on something. If the concern is the number of Spit variants. I'm sure there isn't one Spit fan out there who wouldn't give up the 1942 Spit FIX with the 44 E wing, in a heartbeat for an LFIX. "

Why give up something that is already there. Our Spit is the high alt variant with a bastard weaponset. So keep it and add a IXLF with clippedness as an option, or the bloody fabulous Mk VIII, - shorter span.
Except, expect whining, for the messer boys and the lala's are in trouble :D

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Beyond skins, is there anything which the player base can contribute to the game?

if not, any plans to enable it to do so? I too would like to see a Mossie buff (but you knew that).

Cheers,

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Not that i know of scherf.  If there was a mossie bomber it would be the only bomber i would fly.:)  

Why do some people regard modelling the spit LF IX as offensive?  It was the RAF's mainstay fighter from '43 onwards.  I'm not exactly sure why Jester thinks it's uber either.   Also jester, your choices of the whilrwind and barracuda is just bizarre- they add nothing to the RAF.   The RAF's biggest gap is the Spitfire LF IX  (or something similar).

My list:

He 111

P 36

P 39

Ki 43

Ju 52

Apart from that im happy for any early or mid war adition that adds a new aspect. The MA got b24 and ki84, now the scenarios realy need something.

What make the IX LF über ?
Especially if you consider the D9 G10 51D are already availlable freely.

The first installation didn't work correctly because it did not copy the Corsair system completely.  A modification was made, which made it an almost exact copy.  This second system worked so well it was incorporated into the Hellcat production line.

Regards, Shuckins


Yep , if I remember correctly there was some circumstance where it displayed 0 airspeed  but the hellcat was not stalling :)

Nothing Offensive about it - it's just we already have several versions of the Spit already. IMO we need other platforms first. Personally, I hope you get it - I would like to see them ALL. I would like to see the next model SEAFIRE after the one we have as well some time in the future.

As for the Whirlwind, yes it is rare at just 112 made but would probabily be more useful than the ME-163 Komet we have. Agree? Beaufighter might have been a better choice on my part.
As for the Barracuda - well it's just almost impossible to hang a 1,000 lb. bomb or torpedo below a Spitfire and get it off the carrier deck - Even if it does have clipped wings.  :D

The recent 4-week long Rangoon scenario pointed out what we really NEED in the plane set:

We NEEDED a Betty bomber for the Japanese side.  This is one that has been long overdue in the Pacific scenarios.  Using the JU-88 just doesn't cut it.  It was faster than the Betty, etc.

Of course the P-39, Brewster Buffalo, and other early war birds would be NICE to have, but they are not needs at this time.
