Rumor has it hitech is going to add the PBY Catalina float plane.......His idea is that if you get shot down over water and a PBY from your country picks you up with in 7 minutes ..you don't lose points ..and the friendly PBY will receive perks in the rescue! Hitech thinks this will increase squad and team play giving even a new comers  an important role.
whish I would have thought this up!

Hitech also had the cool idea of tow behind C47 gliders you would steer down to landing sites ... that would have troops and jeeps!..He even was thinking about large invasion landing craft where squads/individuals could roll up to 8 amphibious tanks off these large  landing craft! ...small blimps to keep vulchers away would also be added at this same time.
Hitech has ideas!
<S>

I really like his idea of just adding CV's to the task force so you have 2-4 CV's ...any one individual  CV sunk would stay down for 15 minutes ....you would need to have all cv's down before one would respawn for entire CV task force to go away.

P-63 was used as a gunnery target by the Army Air Force.  It had a red light that lit up when hit by frangible bullits.

P63 useless.  Will get as much use as the P39 in the every day MA.

I may be wrong but I don't think we used it in combat.

The Russians did.

P-63 was twice as good as the P-39 and could out run the La-7 on the deck. It would be like a 109K4 but with a 37mm gun.

Bring on some early war planes, preferably 40-43

The early/mid war is just horrible when it comes to player amount.
Build the early birds, and they will come.
