Would make a fine hi alt recon plane :)

Oh wait thats what at AR234 is lol

Having said that I would love to se this plane just for the cool factor. I agree that it doesnt meet the criteria but oh well its a wish forum. Just give it a 262ish perk cost to eliminate the most of the dweebery.:D  Was ahead of its time and a design that I feel should have been explored more.

i enjoy hte fact that u think im retarded as ur a dumboscar ur self the reson i would want it is becuse i want somthing that will last on fuel and turn more reliable so mayby u should think about what ur saying it may not fly in AH but it was a try (what im saying is that i want somthing better than the ME-262 and the Me163

Seems there's 3 requirements for any potential aircraft if it is to ever be considered for inclusion into this game.

Doing a search would probably yield this information.

Larry already touched on these. This is why he brought this up:

1) It must be a production craft

No prototypes, no 1-off, no field-modded planes. Must be modeled as it came off the production line

2) It must have served in unit strength

No planes where only 1 flew in a mixed squadron. It has to have been numerous enough to at least fill an entire unit of the same plane.

3) It must have seen action

It must have seen actual combat. No training craft. No unarmed recon craft. No scout planes that were never used. This is why we most likely won't ever get the F8F or the F7F, because neither saw combat. Do-335 prototypes might have done some weapons testing (but records are scarce to say the least) but the production units saw no action at all. They never made it to the pilots.

The Do-335 fails on #1, it fails on #2, and it fails on #3 (not counting prototypes, because they wouldn't be included anyway).

So, if any one of those criteria is not met, you will almost never see that plane included in this game. The plane you suggested meets none of the criteria.


P.S. I've always been a fan of the Pfeil, though. Ungainly, and yet so fast.

WRONG

The three are: -

1) Has to look cool
2) Has to be fast
3) Has to have big guns or bombs

The rest does not matter. :furious :mad: :furious :mad:

Many of the airplane pages on wikipedia aren't bad, but you should go to the source info, if its there.  If its not there then they aren't trustworthy.  

Another issue:  Where is there hard performance data on this aircraft?

I doubt you could find a "wonderbird" that hasn't been brought up.  Do335 is one of the most common.
