Russian and Japanese planeset fillers
« on: August 13, 2005, 12:52:07 PM »
Need Russian bomber.  Right now the Il-2 is all alone, with the A-20 to help.  Dont know much about the Russian bombers, but I've seen people offer the Pe-2 as a possible addition.  The Russian fighter lineup definitely needs some additions.  The MiG-3 and LaGG-3, the Yak-3...............The MiG would be nice for higher altitude fights, as most of the Russian planes seem to like lower altitudes better.  

The P-39 would also work well in the Russian lineup, and work as an early war adversary for the Japanese planeset.

And the Japanese planeset definitely needs some holes filled.  The G4M Betty is one glaring example.  We need an early war Jap bomber.  Ki-27 and Ki-43 would be nice additions also, along with the N1K1 and the J2M.  Maybe a Ki-44 also?  Although if we got the J2M I wouldnt care so much abotu the Ki-44.  :)

well, this is sorta proof that this forum is just for people to beg and not get.

The russian and Japanese plane sets are terrible, and its a real shame since both those nations' planes have a lot to add to the game.  For me its the YAK3 and the KI-84 versions that are most lacking but the list is quite long and the only way its gonna get shorter is for these planes to get added.  There are a thousand versions of spits and 109s (because they are popular). . .maby its time for some variety here!!

Really?

I'd imagine it's more because they were extremely varying planes that served from the first until the last day of the war.

The biggest holes in the Japanese planeset are probably A6M3, Ki43, J2Y, and G4M, and in the Russian planeset the Yak-1, Yak-7, I-16, and the Pe-2, maybe with the LaGG-3 and the Tu-2 tacked on there.
Of course a Fleshed out Italian planeset would be great as well, with a C.200 or G.50, CR 42 and an SM-79... and of course the Macchis we already have are in desperate need of update.
An MS. 406 or a D.520 would be nice for the French as well (the MS 406 also served with the Finns).

 The D.520 was actually a really nice aircraft, with a decent combat record, even in French hands. The germans used the ones they captured as a trainer for a while, then actually pressed it into line service in the balkans as an interceptor. They actually placed an order to have more built.

Dang! Wouldn't the recoil possibly hurt the airframe?

Most B-25H's the skin & air frames warped from its cannon. One can only hope it crumples this plane when that 102mm is fired. :aok
