I love these threads lol... no matter what we THINK they are making, HTC already knows, so just wait and quit trying to play AH Nostradamus!   :D

Frank would be nice to kill the lala though, and an early war 38 would strike fear in the hearts of the lame  :lol

What the hell is with all the Ki84 requests?? If it isn't bad enough to already have the revamped Zero, you have the N1K2, the frank is as powerful and as fast as a N1K2 but turns as tight as a zero! What the hell kinda game you folks want? You GOT the zero AND the N1K2, why do you want an uber uber fighter mixed from the two? Dudes, just fly the planes we got, stop trying to make it impossible for people to ever kill you by wanting better planes, just fly better.

But why add another "heavy"? The Halifax had a 13k load (where the lanc has a 14k) and flies about the same with the same performance as the lancaster. What's the point? New planes should *differ* from old ones somehow.

Hmmm.....most shermans had a 75mm gun, and wimpy armor, so i would go fo the T-34, new bomber i would like to see would be the He 111 - just because it was used extensively by germany, the new fighter....thats a tough one....how bout a MIG-3, just because i think the MIG company should be represented here...since it is one of the largest aircraft companies.

Instinctively I would agree with many that based upon past discussions here

Ki 84 (HTC knows it would have mass MA appeal)

Tu2 (HTC were obviously planning for it at a previous stage)

Sherman (More mass appeal and slightly more popular than the T 34)

But with an eye to AH2 TOD then they may be looking to strengthen the 1944 WETO plane set.

Fighters be come a quandry then as its either model variations on existing stuff or the likes of the P39 which I would not have thought popular but could be argued as a valid. Or they may let their eye wander off TOD for this one.

Bombers then start to focus on the B24.

Sherman varients are  still valid
