It is horribly outmatched by the uber planes, but I miss the P39 from when I flew Warbirds. There's something about a 1.5K kill with the 37 mm that just warms my soul...well it would if I had one.

yahoooo P-39 here here!:aok

I'd have to see the P39s make it into the game. While they would likely get chewed up most of the time in the MA, I just happen to think that is a really good looking bird. I would also like to see a P61, but the scenario in which it would be useful, or used historically, doesn't currently exist in the game, so it would probably just be armed bait just like the P39.

A B 25 might be fun as well. I'd like to HO cartoon people with an artillery piece. That would hown.

Well then...my .02$.

Taking it from the top(or the bottom, in this case),from 1939-40:

The Fokker XXI
The Fairey swordfish
The Fairey Battle
The Bristol Blenheim
The Brewster Buffalo
The Vultee Vindicator
The Mitsubishi A5m
The Polikarpov I-16 and I-153
The D.520
The Short Stirling
The P-36
The Seversky P-35
The B-17B and C
The HE-111
The Do-17 and 217
The Ju-52.......Heck, the list just goes on:confused:

That's not even all of the early war rides I can get a book out and look up. The thing is, apart from historical scenarios(AvA) These would hardly ever fly the MA. They would be fun, sure, but It's already hard to fly a non-Spit or non-LALA ride in there now, as it is. The late war rides that we DON'T have, did'nt fly very much, or not at all, operationally. It would also be unfair to introduce something like, Oh, a Do-335, without giving the allies something to match it(If you could find a close match.)

So, here's to hoping that the next addition will NOT be an uber plane like a B-29 or 335, But rather something more docile(P-39 would be almost ideal!!!!)

Both P-61 and P-39 both be wonderfull to see in game but ur right hubs wouldnt be a great MA plane but mabey like u said for FOS or somthin like that?

Only one, eh?

I'm interested in any aircraft used extensively that isn't already in Aces High. I don't know about non-US planes in this regard, but for the US, here are the production fighters, with numbers produced listed (from America's Hundred Thousand):

P-47, 15683
P-51, 15486
P-40, 13143
F6F, 12275
F4U, 11514
P-38, 10037
P-39, 9529 <--- not in AH yet
F4F/FM, 7905

For bombers (from https://www.airforcehistory.hq.af.mil/PopTopics/AAFaircraft.htm and others):

B-24, 18190
B-17, 12692
B-25, 9186 <-- not yet in AH
A-20, 7385
B-26, 5157

TBM, 9837
SB2C, 7140 <--- not yet in AH
SBD, 5936

B29 if it was perked and available only from 163 bases. That way you'd have be willing to spend the perks as well as fly it across the map. Would also give the other countries time to see it coming and counter it with 262's and/or high ponies etc. In this configuration it could be an interesting but not overwhelming addition to the game.

Did the 29 have a radar controlled rear turret? On all variants? HT could mount a field auto-ack on the back to model this. LOL.

Probably He-111 or the Do-17/217 for Blitzkrieg and Battle of Britain events.

Karnak · « **Reply #24 on:** August 23, 2006, 02:08:01 AM »

Hard choice.

Dehaviland Hornet would be so much fun, but it would be cheating to use it as it is post war.

So I am torn between the H8K2, Ki-44, J2M3, Me410 and Ju188A-2.

If it could just magically appear in the game, the H8K2 as the ammount of work that SUPERFLY or NATEDOG would need to do for the interior is insane.

If I were to get to pick the next aircraft for HTC to do, then the Me410 I think. Ju188A-2 maybe.

P51A - Brit version 4 x 20mm hispanos.

Enduro · « **Reply #26 on:** August 23, 2006, 02:33:23 AM »

I'd like to see the A-10 Thunderbolt added. I need something that stands a chance against the LTARDS.

Or, the Bearcat.

mussie · « **Reply #27 on:** August 23, 2006, 02:35:18 AM »

Either YB-40

Or

B25-H

Krusty · « **Reply #28 on:** August 23, 2006, 07:18:24 AM »

Ta152C-0.

It actually served along with H-1s, but was not a full production model.

4x MG151/20s, plus a 30mm through the hub, it had short wings for better roll, and a lower altitude engine (but climb was atrocious)

Panzzer · « **Reply #29 on:** August 23, 2006, 07:54:37 AM »

Only one... It has got to be the Brewster Model 239.
