There aren't enough planes from da soviet union, but the collection of german planes is amazing

That's nothing... The Italian planeset has only 2 planes, and both are different versions of the same airframe!

The Japanese are missing the betty bomber, the germans are missing an early bomber, a heinkel, and maybe a dornier or something. The Brits are missing EVERY bomber they had, except the lancaster. The americans are missing the light b-25 (glass nosed, PLEASE, no more hard nose stuff!) bomber, and there are lots of planes that are missing.

The russian planeset as it is has a lot of monsters. Historically it was full of flops. I'd like to see the flops put into AH, for scenarios and setups. Mig3, etc. The ones that were failures, and inferior. That type of stuff. It would round out the fighters a lot. I'd also like to see a few bombers, but that can wait.

Can't you just stop being so blind and partial ?

Getting accurate flight data for Russian planes is very difficult, I've read, which probably explains why we're missing so many.

I'd like to see the Mig-3, Pe-2, and Polikarpov I-16 "Rata". And maybe one of the Tupolev bombers...the Tu-2 or 4. I can't remember.

I believe the more common Tu was the 1944 Tu-2. It was Pe2, Tu2, and Il4, the Pe and Tu had the same numbers, I think

Wouldn't really matter for the MA... HTC could add dozens of Soviet fighters, but we already have the only one that would get flown.

I'd fly the MiG-3. But then again, I'm a MiG fan

We *need* the MiG-3. It's superior to the 109's up high, and takes a lot of skill to fly it properly.

Better than the Yaks, in my opinion.

no wonder they lost the war those plastic planes didnt stand a chance against our metal ones

Never realized how much they are alike, almost as if the Ki-44 is a three quarter scale model of the P-47

I'd like to see the I-153 and I-16 added. Almost cartoony but historically very significant.

Maybe even oddities like a Defiant and a Swordfish. The first is useless of course, the second will give a whole new meaning to the expression 'sitting duck'. But they WERE significant, just ask the Italian Navy and U-boat crews in the North Atlantic. It was also equipped (in later years) with ASV radar and rockets, not bad for a bi-plane with struts and wires that can be run down by a Sopwith Camel.

Japanese bombers first, Betty, and I'd love to see later war dive & torp bombers jill & judy along with existing Kate & val. Now would also be a good time for Mavis or Emily flying boats.

Ki-43,44,45 along with either a ki- 84 4 cannon varient.

Russian set the only bomber is the iL2.
So yes to Pe2, Tu2, and Il4. Mig 3, & yak 3 would also be nice.

Italian set needs everything!
Bombers, fighters & attack AC.

Germany needs bombers also. At least give us one! Condor would be my choice, didn't have huge loadout, but range was impressive.

RAF has a long list of bombers we need.

US only needs B25.

Bronk · « **Reply #13 on:** August 06, 2005, 08:42:14 AM »

What i would like to know is, should they use lend lease AC for the russian plane set. Like the p-39 and kill 2 birds with 1 stone so to speak. Don't get me wrong purley russion planes would be great also.

Yes, more Russian planes! Fighters come more often so I have more hope for those.

For events, the most substituted planes are the Betty, the He111 and the Pe2 so those would be my first wish.

Then an Italian bomber followed by most of Ghosts' list with emphasis on the Russian and Japanese planesets.
