Relorians Wishlist for AH 2
« on: August 19, 2007, 11:58:05 PM »
I know I am a new comer to this game but i feel the need to put up my wishlist of planes and GV's id love to see in this game.

HE-111 (an Alternative to the JU-88)
BF-410 (Advanced version of the 110)
Henschel Hs 129 (Another Anti Tank aircraft)
The Henschel 293 Anti-Shipping Guided Missile (I can dream cant I?)
Arado Ar 67 Ar 68 (For Early War Arena)
Heinkel Salamander (Late War Alt to the 262)
Volkswagen Kübelwagen (Jeep Counterpart)
SU-76
Petlyakov Pe-3
Polikarpov I-16 (Early War)
SeaHurricane
Cromwell tank
Churchill tank
M26 Pershing
P-61B 'Black Widow'
Boeing P-26 Peashooter (Early War Arena)
Bell P-39 Airacobra (Or the P63)
Consolidated PBY Catalina (It was used as a bomber and could drop torpedos and i'd REALLY love to see it)
Carrier Based B-25

If i were to pick any 4 to put in it would be:
HE-111
P-61B 'Black Widow'
Consolidated PBY Catalina
SeaHurricane

Anyway thats my "Wishlist" for this game. I hope i shouldnt receive too many negitive replies as this is the Wishlist section and i did attempt to add in planes that were at least produced and flown in the war (To various degrees) and were not totally unrealistic (Thought the ME-263 would be cool).

Though, on many I agree with you, I only like one in your top four. First, the P61 was a night fighter, no? ( I may be wrong on this) Second, the Catalina was a floatplane, I dont think we can have floatplanes, do to the way water is modeled (it isnt). I dont know the numbers off the top of my head, but it was an anti shipping boatplane, no? Chances are it has a light bombload and low top speed making it useless in AH (just like the JU200 Condor that is so often suggested). We definately need the He111 though. And the P-39 (this almost won the vote, lost to B25 which is now in development) . An Me 410 would be pretty cool too, I know it at least has a small following. (the 410 was designed after the company's name was changed from Bayer Fleugzeugwerke (sorry if I butchered that) to Messershmitt, so it has the Me designation. The 109 and 110 were before that, thus the Bf Designation.) Never heard Pe-3, but I do want a Tu-2, which would be faster, carry a heavier bombload, but have a slightly less favorable defensive armament to the B-26.

Edit: on the PBY, a trip to Wiki got me:
Performance
Maximum speed: 196 mph (314 km/h)
Cruise speed: 125 mph (201 km/h)
Range: 2,520 mi (4,030 km)
Service ceiling: 15,800 ft (4,000 m)
Rate of climb: 1,000 ft/min (5.1 m/s)
Wing loading: 25.3 lb/ft² (123.6 kg/m²)
Power/mass: 0.034 hp/lb (0.056 kW/kg)
Lift-to-drag ratio: 11.9
Armament
3× .30 cal (7.62 mm) machine guns (two in nose turret, one in ventral hatch at tail)
2× .50 cal (12.7 mm) machine guns (one in each waist blister)
4,000 lb (1,814 kg) of bombs or depth charges, torpedo racks were also available

Its easily outclassed by what we have and wouldnt see any use. Gonna look up the P-61 now.

Already have the Panzer and the Tiger to represent German Armour. It would make a decent edition after other tanks though, but for the moment there are two german tanks out there that more than dominate the few non german tanks in game.

But... Add it to the list :P

Also the only problem i could see with the P-61 would be the radar controled top gun, but it could be easily offset by adding in some kind of manual controls for it not unlike a turret. It was used as a day fighter and saw service in Europe but mostly in the Pacific. It would be a decent addition to give something semi equal or on the same ground as the 110, which was also used as a night fighter and bomber escort.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petlyakov_Pe-3
Its similar to the BF-110 (And my p-61 suggestion). Its a russian 110 basically with the 20mm cannons on the wings... but it would be another of the limited russian aircraft in game. Might be fun? Of if not, maybe one the the early MiG's like a MiG 1 or MiG 3.

The Sea Hurricane would add one more plane to the limited CV launches (Not counting the various models of the F4U) and something thats not the suggested CV launched ME/BF 109.

The Catalina would be decent for anti ship combat and was the main reason i added it. Yes its slow, but so are the JU-87 and SDB. Yes they are divebombers and are ment to be slow, but they are still painfully slow and in game (I use them, i like them). It was also possible to land a Cat on land, it did have wheels. I dunno, its just an idea and i've never seen one in any flight sim. (Or for a tounge in cheek addition, Grumman F4F-3S "Wild Catfish")

I do thank you for reading over my list and not shooting it down totally. I went with the "Hey, it asks for a Wish list" approach but wanted to stay realistic to planes that saw service in at least a realistic, non expermental form.

The vote took place before i joined the world of AH-2... otherwise i would have voted for the HE-111 or the P-39. Maybe it can be added in the future though :D
