The planes we truly need most.
« on: August 07, 2006, 06:40:38 PM »
These are the planes in my opinon that need to be added the most, because most of them played great roles in WWII.

LaGG
La-3
MiG-3
Yak 1
Yak 3
Yak 5
Yak 7
He-111
Ju-52

I know this post isn't very argumentative but please, HTC, at least make the 111 and MiG-3, those are the ones I really want the most.

I probably would add more but I cant think right now cause I'm eating skittles. :rolleyes:

Stratofortress, Ju52 (would be a nice alternative to the C47), and is the Zero Fighter already in? I cant seem to find it.

I don't think that the B-52 dates to our time period. Oh, and there are two Zeros in the game. We do, however, need the A6M3 to fill the gap in the Zeke lineup.

Once again, see the wish list.  But what we need is:

1  Re 2005

2  Fiat G55 and/or G55II

Two of the best fighters in the European theater, limited production due to allied bombing, but both saw action.

Both are insignificant. You call lists that fill holes "wishlists" and then say we "need" things that saw practically no service.

Methinks you have reversed the terms in your mind.

Rare, high altitude Soviet fighter. No need.

Korean war unit, not needed in any way, shape or form.
