Given the extended development time involved, I'd rather have them trickle in piece-meal than wait a year to have them all delivered at once.  I'd also change the types of aircraft, but hey, its your wishlist.

I honestly think that with 6 rounds in each synchronised cannon you would not be able to HO. But I suck at ho shots (If you dont practice you'll never get good at it)...
It'd be like a B25. Except without the 10 (or is it 8? I dont fly the 25 :eek:  ) 50 cals as backup.

PBY Catalina - Flew with 6 or better countries and would be the first aircraft in the game that could be launched from a sea port in the transport, bomber, and attack roll.

Sure, why not

JU-52 - Armed transport aircraft.

lol, if I remember right, this thing had HUGE armor peircing guns on it...I think the reason why HITECH chose the C-47 was to make taking a base a challenge, and have some teamwork involved, cause if you throw this in, have this go in with goons and have it take out the town on its own, then throw in your troops


P-40N-5 - People want to fly in this airframe. The "E" model just lacks performance.

The E models just fine for me, good way to keep the weary spit on the edge of their seat (then shoot 'em...)

P-39N - Give the Soviets another aircraft.

Stoney,

What would you rather see enter the game, as far as aircraft types?

Not quite... the Ju-52 had 2-3 7.9mm machine guns and maybe a 13mm, if I remember correctly. Certainly not uber cannons. Plus its slower than the C47.

Must be thinking of something else then, cause if I remember right there was a transport/bomber that had 20mm & 30mm AP guns...

Latrobe,

Being that your somewhat of an exceptional pilot as compared to most, out turning the Ubers in a P-40E is believeable. But, for most of these jockeys real power and performance kind of evens the odds a little. Or they could just learn to use the flaps and pull a little power off.:D

To some extent I agree I do use it a fair bit. I have noticed that not a lot of the people who play know that the C model has 3 variants in the game Depending on what gun package you choose most think it is just for flat & level bombing using the  bomb site version. The hard nose with all those 50's is a lot of fun on capped fields & on factory's.

I HO'd an La-7 with a Hurri IID within the last few weeks.  I fired 3-4 40mm rounds.  I'm sorry but if you're stupid enough to try a HO against 40mm's you should get what's coming to you.

I also had a Panzer and a Sherman kill that flight.

As to the B-25 being a hanger queen, it had more combined kills plus deaths (over 17,000) than either the B-17 or the B-26 last camp.  Not exactly a hanger queen.

As to this list, I'd like to see the P-39, I-16, A26 and maybe something like the M-10 tank destroyer before any of these but that's just my list.
