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.

Please tell me one AC that would fill more holes.

Please tell me you're not trying to get just one more American-made aircraft in the game for your pleasure.

Filling holes, eh? Since we're talking about the game here, the plane would be defaulted to the American planeset, and any other country would have to be represented by additional skins, save for perhaps the P-39Q...

...But, since we're talking about filling gaps, it wouldn't do a very good job, as the Russians had far more important aircraft manufactured in greater numbers than the P-39 (since the Q was a field mod, there really wasn't any manufacturing of the type going on...). Namely the Yak-1, Yak-3, Yak-7, MiG-3, Pe-2, LaGG-3...

...Do you see where I'm going with this? I'm sure you do, but I'm guessing you'd rather complete the American planeset before anything else gets added.

Right, so essentially no other ac could fill more holes.

Edit:  I believe the Q was a variant based off N field mods. As bell produced some 4000+ Q variants.

P-39 fills more holes, other aircraft fill bigger holes.

As it is, the P-39 doesn't really fill any empty hole that a new Russian fighter wouldn't fill.  All the non-Russian "holes" are already co-occupied by the P-40E.  The P-39 would just add depth to the P-40E's coverage.

And result in yet more of this:

B-25D
F4F-4
P-38G
P-39D
P-40B
P-40E
SBD-5
TBM-3

vs.

A6M2
B5N2
D3A1


Does the P-39 really fill a hole there?  No, it just adds depth to the US planeset.

The P39 has more uses outside the MA than any other IMO............ I would still love to have a Yak 3 probably the most manouverable late war VVS ac with out of cockpit visibility to die for.

Once again, additional depth, not a plugged hole.  It is true across the board except in Russia.

Yak-3, a lighter version of the Yak-9 (which is amazing in itself). 5000 were made, it could out-maneuver any German fighter.

Has nothing to do with holes Bronk, just whatever flips their
switch.  I really enjoy the Gladiator, Oscar, Yak 1 requests/demands...
even as scenario birds they would get eaten alive without other
early war stuff available :)

I say P-38H!!

And a bunch of Italian planes are much needed. I say first priority is getting the Italian plane set more than.. well. Two fighters. Maybe a S.M. 'Hunchback' transport, in addition to a Ju52 for Jerry.

Gotta either be a Russian plane, or a Japanese plane.

We have a nice selection of the other countries.

P-39 would be nice, but probably not as useful as the NEXT plane, imo.

A nice MiG, or Ki-43 would be cool.
