PE-2

The Petlyakov Pe-2  nicknamed  "Pawn" was a Soviet dive bomber aircraft used during World War II. It was fast and maneuverable yet durable, and was manufactured in large numbers.
In total, around 11,400 Pe-2s were built

The Heinkel He 111 was the primary Luftwaffe medium bomber during the early stages of World War II, and is perhaps the most famous symbol of the German side of the Battle of Britain. Aprox 7300 produced

Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa ( "Peregrine Falcon") was a single-engined land-based fighter used by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force in World War II. About 5919 produced

T-6 Texan
It was a single-engine advanced trainer aircraft designed by North American Aviation, used to train fighter pilots. Aprox 15,495 built
Preferably it would come with a switch, so that trainers and students could both be in the same plane, and take turns at the controls. Or so a trainer could takeoff, then hand over control to student etc.  I know its a trainer, but virtually every US fighter pilot spent time in one of these before going on to the combat birds.


P-39
The Bell P-39 Aircobra was one of the principal American fighter aircraft in service at the start of World War II. Although its mid-engine placement was innovative, the P-39 design was handicapped by the lack of an efficient turbo-supercharger, limiting it to low-altitude work, although the type was utilized with great success by the Soviet Air Force.
Number built    9,584

The public guesswork consensus on criteria for possible plane introduction is;


1) actual production model
 (rules out experimental/prototype/preproduction planes)

2) official placement and combat service in a designated combat unit
 (rules out trial combat/planes with no combat record with active engagement)

3) introduced before VJ day
 (rules out planes after August 15th of '45)

 
 Those that fall under above three categories are then prioritized by their use in the MA, scenarios, planned CT, and etc etc..

I don't believe it is guess-work. I think HTC has listed these at different times. Don't ask me to bring up links though, it's been too damn long to go find 'em.

I,m not sure of that,you,re probably right.

but either way it IS fast for what it is---a bomber killer

awesome speed AND armament!!

I have a confession to make.  I carried my hawking season out a bit long this year, and, well, don't count on the Easter Bunny for too much....
