It's funny that you mention that, because Soviet pilots who flew the Spitfire Mk V had a terrible time getting shot down by their own AAA because to the gunners it looked too much like a 109. ;)

The He 111 has 3 things better than the Ju88:
- Better visibility
- Better Durability
- (Possibly) better bombload. Something close to a B-26 and even more.

I'd like it.
I do recall whines about "pointless new hangar queen" regarding aircraft like the Hurricane, P39 etc etc.
In truth, I think the He111 falls shorter from the mainstream than mush we already have.
So....He-111 plz :D

p.s. A-26 is a must, and so would be the P63...for MA....

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

And from the looks of it, I'd say more people want it than don't.  Sorry OP, your wrong!   :devil

I'd still like to see some more Early war additions... He 111 will be a hanger queen I think. But more the marrier too!  :rock

A more "fleshed out" early war plane set might draw more to it.

How is the A-26 a must or the P63?  Beaufighter is a must long before those to, very late in the game if at all birds.

With some luck, getting back to full focus on the MA side of AH will allow HTC to add all of these crappy contraptions, so we can move on to more interesting conversation....... like which deathtrap NEEDS to be added next.

Someone say Beaufighter?

40-45 service.  ETO, MTO, North Africa, Malta, CBI, PTO.  4 20mm, 6 303s (4 50 cals on the Aussie Mk 21)  provisions for rockets, bombs and a torpedo.  All kinds of scenario and MA use.

And it looks tough too :)

what is it with everyone's needs for uber planes?

maybe if there was a more equal planeset, EW and MW would be used more.
