Come on KillnU!  You forgot the P38E so we could fight in the Aleutians and get the first 38 kills of the war

54th FS time!

[Pooface]

ooh yeah, p39 should be added too

i like the ideas about the tanks bodhi

b25, later version would do pretty well too

I feel that the D4Y would be one of the best additions for Special events, because as it stands the Japanese are gross disadvantage in any Carrier duel after 1942. While the US has the advantage of subbing the far superior Avenger for the woeful devistator in early battles, the Japanese are stuck with the fun but underperforming Val and Kate when it comes to carrier strike planes.

Now, the Japanese will always be at a disadvantage when it comes to bombload, however the D4Y would give them a significantly increased porbability of reaching the target. With a speed of aroudn 350 mph, intercepting Judys will be very difficult for the US. I've succesffully taken Vals and Kates into attacks through heavy CAP (against F4Fs),  so I think the Judy could meet success against F6F and F4U cap. If I were an F4U or F6F player who liked events, I'd want the D4Y, because chasing those bastards would actually be a challange, as opposed to the cripple fight that ensues when you bounce a bunch of D3As

Also, I think it is easily the best looking Carrier Strike plane.

From 1942 on the Ju 87G-1 was a dedicated anti-tank aircraft on the eastern front. It was fitted with a 1400hp Junkers Jumo 211J engine. It had a maximum speed of 314km/h, a ceiling of 8000m and a very limited range of only 320km. The reduced speed and range was due to the armour plating installed to protect the pilot and gunner when flying low-level tank busting missions. It was armed with two 30mm cannons in pods under the wings and a 7.92mm machine gun in the back for the gunner.

1). PE-2 and PE-8. http://www.vectorsite.net/avpe2.html WE NEED RUSSIAN BOMBERS!!!!
2). Ki-43-IIIa was tossing it up between LaGG 3, MiG-3, P-39, Ki-44 and the Oscar. All these should be top prio additions as they where all very significant fighters and are of nations severly lacking in their arsenal.

Well, 2 is hard, 4 would have been ok.
Ok, I'll cheat
P39/P63. They look almost the same, while the 63 is definately a MAplane, the 39 is necessary for history and a perk harvester maybe?
Then it gets tough. Spit VIII? Beau? B25?
Well, sory, my vote goes to the He 111, in case the V-1 option could be added, - hehe another cheat .....
FYI, some 1200 of those were launched low over the North sea. So, the first ever cruise missile.

More of the air launced V-1:





And more funny ops.....a glide-torpedoe.....





Hope that the images work

A26 attack bomber- like a A20 with 20 mm's and could carry 4 k of bombs plus rockets. It was also a little faster than the A20

p39/P63 with these we could have a russian fighter that carried
a bomb other that a 100 lbs. Could be used as US or russian.

 20mm ostie (wirblewind?) for gvs need it more than tanks now

At least more russian or japanese planes we need those more than american/german/uk planes

Or how about a couple of italian aircraft
