I didn't include anything American, since the B-25 won the last election.
I would like to see more planes in the early war set before anything.

There's a fighter out there yet that was in production from 1939 through 1944.

Over 9,500 units were made.

It saw service in every major theater of the War, and was flown by the US, USSR, Australia, France, and Italy.

It'd still be a great addition to AH.

P-39?

Ju-88G was a night fighter, there would no real purpose in it in AH.

The Ju-88C-6 heavy fighter/attack I could see, sort of the LWs version of the A-20.

Whatever it will be, please let it fit the Eastern Front early/mid plane set.

Or maybe we could fill up that Japenses plan set so we could have some decent PTO setups.

heyy i don't see any Ju87's there!

Speed55 · « **Reply #8 on:** September 28, 2007, 11:25:36 AM »

I picked only aircraft that were designated as fighters.

I'd like it if other early/midwar planes are added to the list from Italy, Japan, or Russia that i missed.

Yeah, that's great, another American aircraft to complement the 20-odd ones we have already.

We need a Yak, a MiG, a LaGG, a Japanese fighter, or some French and Italian aircraft... Possibly a German fighter or two (a true Bf-109G-10, a 190A-4, and a 190A-6 would be great --- and a remodeling of the Ta-152 would be particularly delicious). Because, honestly, we have almost every significant aircraft used in the war, as far as the American side is concerned. Every other side has gaps.

Yes, even the British set has gaps... Spitfire gaps. We need the II and the VII. We'd also do nicely with some additional Mosquito variants. A Meteor would be a good fit, too.

Karnak · « **Reply #14 on:** September 28, 2007, 04:15:45 PM »

Spit II and VII would add little. Spits are as complete as can be expected, save, perhaps, a Seafire III.

Mossie variants, Beaufighter or Wellington are about it for the RAF. Maybe Meteor if that is your cup of tea.

Biggest gaps are the Russians and Japanese. P-39 does help with the Russian set, but it is kinda nasty to see early war East Front setups with only US and British aircraft for the Russians.
