Before the 1.05

1)
  NOBODY wants a STUKA ???!!!
  Cannt believe this!!!
  And the DAUNTLESS?
  VAL, KATE?
  I've been flying and fighting them in PACIFIC STRIKE of ORIGIN years ago... I really miss the breezes over pacific.
  And I guess you old flymen too...

2)
  ... and we will soon be in need of some REAL leaders and well planned actions(attacks, escorts, scouts, S&Rs)...
  And the Arena will become a warfield than a combat garden...
  Think about this, 12 Ju88,12Ju87, escorted by 30 Bf109Es, engage a whole nest of spits... That will look more FANTASTIC and OTOH, relastic...
  Wish the LEADERS consider that  


3)
  Soon, I guess, we'll have bunches of planes available... and the treads of DWEEB PLANES will surely increase...
  Do you think it funny enough to have a I15 dogfight with a F8F? I'd prefer if there would be some limits of TIMELINE ('41 arena, '42 arena etc) in the sceneraios...
  Of course if someone hates time limits, just set the TIMELINE('37 - '50)

Patience, Grasshopper, this game just turned a year old...look at where Warbirds was at 1 year.

Who needs Stukas in current plane set? Who needs Stukas in MA anyway - they were withdrawn from service due to losses when flying without heavy fighter cover?

109Es are not there, MkI Spits, Hurricanes, He111s, Do217s... One has to do the lot otherwise the modelling of a Stuka is just a waste of time...

You are talking about an historical arena. HTC dont want us to play axis vs allies because that will draw to many people from the main arena.

 Who needs tactical bombers? They are very hard to hit with and a near miss does not result in target destruction.
 It is much easier to put a bomb dead-center from a level bomber flying at 25,000 feet.

 Of course if the level bomber accuracy was brought down to realistic levels and blast bomb effect increased to compensate...
