PBY Catalina, D. 520 and the IAR8 is all that is needed.

Maybe the Swordfish.

I think the more popular planes should be redone first. Then move on to the lesser used planes.

What about adding the 109 k4?

Also whats wrong with the Spit V? It was recognised as the best all around spit there is. Later models are faster but as everyone knows...with speed comes a wider turn.

With the size of maps, I'd like to see aircraft fuel more in line with their real life flight times.

Spits and 109s alike would benefit from this.

AWRaid,

Our Bf109G-10 is a Bf109K-4 in all but name.

Generally the Spitfire Mk LF.Mk IX got the nod as the best all round Spitfire. The Spitfire LF.Mk VIII might have beat it for that if it had been more common.

Stang, I'd wet myself if I saw a P40n.

Coulda swore much of the remodeling was being done with TOD in mind.

Seems like that puts the ETO birds up first doesn't it?

So Spits and 109s make sense since the 190s, 51s, Jugs and 38s have been done.

B17, B26, Ju88(Maybe a solid nose nightfighter variant as seen by the daylight bombers on occasion) and the Me110 would be on the list, with the 262 and 163 at some point.

Tempest, Mossie and Tiffie too?

i think the spit line up we have at the moment is fine. maybe a mk7 or mk 8 to fill a gap..
what is really needed is the wing type options. clipped, gun lay out. also engine boosts need to be fixed.
as far as 109s go they are pretty well spread for the duration.. only thing i would fix is the bracing around the cockpit..

SELECTOR,

So having:

1939: Spitfire Mk Ia (+6lbs boost, saw no combat)
1940:
1941:
1942: Spitfire Mk Vc (+16lbs boost), Spitfire F.Mk IXc (Merlin 61, only 300 built, +15lbs boost), Seafire Mk IIc (+16lbs boost, less than 300 built)
1943:
1944: Spitfire F.Mk XIV (+18lbs boost, fails to match historical climb rates and is highly perked)
1945:

is fine?

Why would you want a Spit VII? It was practically nonexistant.
