Bf 109 G-2,
More precisely... Werkenummer 14718, in FAF as MT-201, original code RF+UN,

That's me.

I know it did not have wing cannons, but mine often does

Ki-100 y FW190-A5

Although overall the ki100 had no real benefit over the 61 due to drag etc it was still a damn cool aircraft. And I've just always loved the a5 in AH

I am confused ... what do you miss about it ?

I remember when Pyro disabled WEP until Bodhi produced documentation that the FM2 truely did have WEP ... outside of that I don't remember anything different about it from then, until now.

LaGGs/Las

Yaks/Migs (Mig not pictured)

Air war over Eastern Europe in general. Grossly neglected when in fact more Luftwaffe fought and died agains the Soviet Union and the VVS in the dirty, low, and gritty war over this front then against the more glamorous and (more american) war against the British and Americans in the west high up above the clouds. And until numbers, technology, and training caught up there was a long period where Soviet fliers were clear underdogs against their foes. I'd like to see more planes of this period, LaGGs, Yak 1s, etc.

And when it comes to being just beautiful aircraft it is pretty difficult to compete with the later Yakovlevs in my opinion.

That's what we need most.

Italian fighters, and Axis transport and more VVS aircraft. With only the 4 Soviet fighters to represent one of the 'Big Three', the game's going to need a few more planes.

I'd like to see a Mig-3 fly around every now and then.

Karnak,
I've been wanting to go back to the Spitfire VIII but I haven't found the time to pay then play yet.
Is there anything in particular you find handy about the Spitfire VIII over the IX in terms of handling? I know the VIII we have performs better due to the Merlin 66, but most prefer the IX's near-flawless handling. How do you find the handling in combat with the wing tanks drained? At 25% it's just a few pounds less but in offline testing, the VIII seems to handle just like the IX once that extra fuel in the wings and main bottom tanks is used up.

F4U speaks for it self no more needed
