Well the P-38s are almost here, what's next

[Sikboy]

I don't dissagree with you, in saying that the Yak-3 isn't "needed." As you've said, the 9U plays the role of late war Yak very well, and coupled with the La-7, the late war VVS fighter stable has some real teeth.

I even agree (how could I not?) that ToD and events should take the drivers seat from MA utility.

I was simply pointing out that it would likely find use in the MA, and is significantly different from the 9U.  As opposed to the guy who thought they should have made a late model P-38J for example.

One that would be easy to implement would be the F6f-5N.

The F6f-3 and F65-5s were retrofitted in large quantitys to the N designation. They installed 2 20 mm cannons in place of 2 of the 50 cal machine guns.

the F6f-3N and F6f-5N  planes had

2 - 20 mm Cannons
4- 50 cal machine guns

would be neat to have the N model Hellcat to compete with the Ki-84, Niki, Ki-61, A6m's  since all of them have cannons to begin with.............and it wouldn't even need to be perked!

    i TOTALY agree with this idea

Yak 3 is pointless in terms of need. ToD and event 'needs' should be put ahead of main 'wants' at this point in AH development. The Yak 9u is better aircraft all round for a late war Yak.

 I have to dissagree with you on this The=Main Arena= is what keeps this game going! the  Main Arena wants Should be Top priority,just look at the #'s on any given day of where poeple are playing most dodnt care about the other stuff

I am in complete agreement with your lineup. For Early P-47s a P-47C-5 and P-47D-5 would fill out the set. I'd also like to see the D-11 updated to the high-activity prop as almost all were upgraded to this within a month of reaching Britain.

Chronology of the P-47s in terms of deliveries:
C-5 Late 1942-early 1943
D-5 Spring 1943- summer 1943
D-11 Fall 1943- early winter 1943

By December of 1943 most ETO P-47 Groups flew a mixture of D-5s and D-11s. Most, if not all P-47C-5s had been sent down to training units or were classified as War Weary (WW) by then.

My regards,

Very accurate.  However I would disagree that a putting a C model in the game would help the planeset.  Unless, they Modeled Zemke's C-5.  Yes I am bias.  Even moreso would I love to see them model Johnson's D-5, "lucky".

The Fiat Cr.42 would be a good choice.
It was produced by Italy until the armistice. After the armistice an additional 150 unit were produced by the LW. They were used in night-harassment and anti-parsion raids. The last combat flight of Cr.42's too place in May 1945.

A20 to match it's original guns.  4 x 20MM nose mounted.

P39 would be my choice.

There are a few Events that could use them. Personally, they aren't on my radar screen, but I can understand why someone would want them.

The only one I'd be interested in is the Swordfish, and even that is a passing amusement.

I'd be happy if they added a door gun to the C-47... it wasn't unheard of.

I see people asking for the P-40N... I would personally prefer the K or M.

The Mustang IA would make a nice addition to the planeset, but I can see people whining about a 'stang with 4 Hispanos, even if it was Allison engined.

The Hawker Fury and/or Sea Fury might be nice, although they are a VERY late-war ride. Or how about the Fairey Firefly for the CV's?
