The MiG3 is not a variant of any aircraft in the game, it was developed independently of all other Ru...

C'mon, it wasn't even made by the same design bureau as any planes we have in game, wtf?

Read the thread before you post and you won't have to worry about anyone ripping your head off.

Ever flown FSO?


On THIS list the real major hole is the lack of an American heavy bomber in the EWA due to only having one variant each of the 17 and 24, and the fact that our Lancaster isn't technically appropriate for that arena, either.

I'd like to see the B-17C be added to fill in the gap for an EW RAF/USAAF bomber and to have another option other than the Lancasters in the EW arena.

And I agree 100% in adding the P-38H.  One can never have too many P-38 variants.

Sea hurricane MkIIC/MkIC just add an arrestor hook, naval radio gear, and catapult spools. Just means the weight difference with the last 2.
Really just fills a gap in CV fighters.

Motherland,

The issue with the Lanc is, like I said before, that the Lancaster III shouldn't really be in the EWA at ALL. We should have an earlier mark for that, like the I or II. Ours is more appropriately a mid-war ship.

glock,

I think I already mentioned the substantial gap in the Ju-88 line in general.

Ack-Ack,

I think the B-17C or D combined with the B-17F would be the most all-inclusive additions regarding the Flying Fortress. Would give us the early, mid and late run when added to the G we already have. Plus, the F was the workhorse of the USAAF in the early part of the strategic bombing campaign in Europe. The C/D would be most useful for very early PTO setups.

Just like saying it. Ki-100 is a variant off of the Ki-61.

No, it's not.  While the Ki-100 was based on the Ki-61 airframe it was considered to be a new plane model and not a variant of the Tony because of the significant changes to the airframe.

Not only would the C be good for early PTO scenarios it would also be good for early war ETO scenarios as the RAF were flying the C in combat as early as the summer of '41.

We need the early war T-34 with the big bellybutton hatch we got the later T-34/76 with the newer hatches they put on in 1942/1943.
