I hope your right on the tank. I'd rather have a T-34 then a Sherman. But we do need some American tanks. Either would do nicely.

I don't think that it will be a new version of an aircraft already in AH.  Pyro said that they would start updating the existing aircraft in versions beyond v2.01 and it doesn't make sense to add a P-38 or Mossie and not update the P-38 and Mossie already in AH.

I'll bet:

Ki-84-I-Ko Hayate "Frank"
Me410B-2 Hornisse
M4A3 E8 General Sherman



I'm real soft on the Me410.  I'd say Tu-2S or Pe-2FT otherwise.

there is already enough american junk in the game, i hope its something from Russia/Japan (or british but im biased).

I'm hoping MiG-3U as a/c but i'm pretty sure its not. (my biased hope is that it is a B.35 Mossie, Spitfire L.F.V/IX/XIV or XVI, Beaufighter, Halifax III, Gloster Meteor III or a Gloster Gladiator)

As for tank its probably a Sherman - if it is i hope its the Firefly.  Be really nice if it is a T-34!

What is it about the P-38J that makes so many P-38 fans cream?

Why do you want your flaps to break?

It isn't reality.  It isn't like they would have held you from accelerating if they hadn't retracted.  The way a computer program looks at it is not "the preasure is getting higher, higher, ok, too high, retract flaps".  The computer simply has "if airspeed == x, retract flaps".  All your proposed change would do is look like this "if airspeed == x, break flaps".

Ki84
A russian bomber
Sherman or T34
