<COUGH> the He-111 is a medium bomber, H model payload around 4500lbs; could also carry one torpedo in lieu of bombs.  Is also S-L-O-W-E-R than Ju-88.  It is not superior, but inferior to the Ju-88.

It Has Better Defense, And Who Says It Must Be Better? Well Over Half Of The Community Says We Must Fill In The Gaps With More Just Under-par Aircraft

Things we don't need:

1.) Another American bomber.\
-------------------------------Already very well represented in game.
2.) Another American fighter. /

3.) Another German Tank.  Fill out the other countries tanks before adding anything else.

4.) Another British fighter.  Already have the most typical types, anything else is just semantics.

5.) Another German fighter.  Same as the British.

What we do need:

1.) VVS bombers.  Sorely lacking any, besides the Il-2, and a repainted Boston III.

2.) Italian bombers.  Currently none, the Sm 79 at the least, and P108 would be great.

3.) German bombers.  Ju-88, and Stuka, just aren't cutting it. 

4.) British medium bombers.  C'mon it's like having only two choices of American bombers; a-20 or B-29, and nothing in between.  Something is needed to fill in-between.

5.) VVS fighters.  Only four currently in game?  Seriously WTF.

6.) More Japanese fighters.

That seems to be what is happening now.  If you didn't notice, there were no "new" aircraft added, just updates to existing craft.  The F6F, Il-2, Me-262, and N1K2, were updated, the only thing new was the T-34/85.  I think the tank was only a bone to throw the masses, "See, we're adding new stuff every update."

P-63s weren't flown operationally by the US, the vast majority were Lend Leased to the Soviets. A few were sent to France at the end of the war, but didn't see action. The P-63 Lend Lease deal also had a provision that P-63s sent to the Soviets would only be used on the Russian Eastern Front in an eventual attack on Japan. No one really believes they were held from combat against the Germans, but Soviet records only indicate P-39s being used.

IIRC
Russian P-63 reported shooting down ki 43 or 44 over sea of japan at the end of the war.

Priority list:

He-111 is easily #1. This plane has been requested probably since the creation of Aces High 2.
Tu-2, Pe-2, Yak-3, I-16 all come tied for 2nd. All saw major service.
Italian bombers (SM.79, P.108), Japanese fighters (Ki-43, 44 and JM2) #3
Axis C.O. for Battle of the Dnieper, Winter '43

Yes, I know no new planes were added.  But there are several other aircraft that could use a facelift.  :aok

I think that is what we are going to see, in the next few updates.  Four or so aircraft updated to the new standard, and maybe a new "play pretty".  IIRC Hitech, stated he wanted to update all the existing aircraft to the new standard, before launching CT.  That way he could focus on shaking out errant bugs in CT, improving the AI, ect...ect, for CT.  Sort of button up AHII, so the only headaches he would have would be CT related.

The French Char B is probably the only French tank that could be compared to anything  remotely close in the game. It was heavily armored, but matched up only against the Panzer III and early Ausf of the IV.

Pitting a Char B against a T-34/85, M4, or Tiger, is like flying a Spit I against a Temp.
