The Spit XII would be nice... However, there's many far more significant fighters missing altogether. P-39D, P-39Q, Ki-44, J2M3, Yak-1, Yak-3, Various Mosquitos, Me 410, Ki-43, MiG-3 even the Brewster and I-16 as examples.



Then, we have missing models/versions that saw combat in very large numbers, such as the F6F-3, Fw 190A-3, A6M3, F4F-3, P-51C (V1650-7 engine), P-47C , Yak-9D, P-51A/Mustang Mk.I and P-38H.



I'd rather have the Seafire Mk.III before the Spit XII. The latter fits into the limited numbers category, which includes the P-47M, F4U-1C and Ta 152H.


I'd like the Beaufighter too, and the Pe-2.

I'm thinking that the Spitfire Mk.XII will be quite a way down the road...

My regards,

Widewing

And dont forget the p-26 even if it was a flying (If your lucky) pile of feces.
It has the honor of being the first American made plane to shoot down a german plane in WWII, although that was done by a French pilot.

Bleh. The LAST thing we need is a Runstang with Hizookas. They're annoying enough with just the .50cal

To tell the truth...Widewing and Bronk had it. I would ask HTC to toss Combat tour in the trash can, if they could get the planeset expanded. The basic game he has now, would be awesome with the A/C that Widewing listed.

Its truely a shame that the Russian planeset (not those lend-lease excuses) is so sorely lacking in this fine game. We need SOMETHING thats Russian with the next addition, whether it be the Pe-2, a Mig, or another Yak variant.

I think you guys missed the point of my post.  The Spit XII isn't that fast.  Mossie VIs could outrun it.

It is slower than the Spit XVI and much slower than the Spit XIV.

i'd rather see the gun packages to use the universal wing opptions. That was available on all spits after the VI . they could have the same wing but put 3 difrent packages in .
options :
1) 8 .303
2) 2 20mm and 4 .303
3) 4 20mm cannons with 82 rpg.

i can scan a book i've been reading if you want.

Nope, shouldn't be added.  The universal wing could take thos armaments, but in practice it was always two 20mm cannon and four .303s.  Only a couple squads of Spit Vs (not Vb like we have) and the one or two Aussie VIIIs had four 20mm.  No universal winged Spit ever carried eight .303s into battle.
