Well I think there's a typo on the Tiger 1 entry of that list.
If HTC drew a hard line at June (or July) '42 that would be better, except for 4 major areas:
1) it includes the B26. I don't know your thoughts on the matter, but this thing is nearly unstoppable by early war planes. It would need a perk rating of 100 points per bomber.
2) it excludes the SBD. There are so few attackers, and the SBD is really the earliest allied attack plane we've got.
3) it excludes the IL2. The IL2 we've got is technically a later variant, but there are no soviet aircraft in the "early" setup, and also see note about lack of ground attack aircraft above.
4) This takes out the 190A5. Without the A5 you would get a lot of complaints re: spit9 coming as a counter to the Fw190.
The 109G2 is vital to the early war. There are few planes as lethal as it, tu be sure, but the importance is really the armament. The bomb rack, the gondoals, would make it a multirole craft, capable of hunting bombers (soemthing few early fighters can do) or dropping toolsheds. I honestly can't remember if the G-2 kept its centerline bomb in the 109 update. I'd hope so... The G2 would also be something of a counter to the spit9, but I think the spit9 would need perkage because it dominates the entire planeset for june/july 1942.
Also, get the p38G out of the early war setup!
