another "Fighter" only mode a/c.  But sure, add it...AFTER giving the Italians something that can drop a bomb, or a 109f/2 with the 15mm & 4x50kg bombs.

Except that it was used extensively as a divebomber and fighter-bomber right from the get-go. With a radial engine and battery of multiple MGs and cannons, it was much more effective as a JaBo than the 109.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

HT,

Please consider adding the Romanian plane IAR-80.

Thanks,

Nice... the nose and 6 view of a Corsair with none of the performance...

Yes please. Why? Because I WANT ALL OF 'EM.

How about not every addition has to be an uber-performing late war American plane? It was WORLD War II you know.

That's my point. I really do want all of 'em. I even want the TBD Devastator - an airplane that had a significant impact on the war in the Pacific, even as it was shot down in droves. Let's face it, it's not as much fun if all we have is 425 mph cannon-armed single-seaters.

At the same time, priority-wise, I'd think an Italian bomber (probably the SIAI MArchetti 79), the He111, the Japanese G4M, the 410, and the Beaufighter are all more significant.

But, I wouldn't turn down the addition.

As for American planes... meh... don't like 'em much, though I appreciate the flat trajectories of their .50s.

I'll vote for your IAR.80 if you back my bid for a Fairey Swordfish.

Ah Yes, the Stringbag - another piece o' crap... THAT I WANT. How about a Gloster Gladiator to use for a little EW Norway campaign?

Being a Pusser's Brat and Royal Navy nutcase, I'll happily fly a Sea Gladiator - as well as the Swordfish, Skua, Roc, Barracuda, Walrus, Seafox and any other Fleet Air Arm aircraft that anyone might care to code for AH.

Splice the mainbrace!

Gimme that Fulmar, that I may be spray-plastered to the inside of its cockpit by the next passing Emil!

And did those feet,
in ancient time...

Just so you know HTC, WWI has not distracted us from this glaring oversite in the planeset of the Eastern Front.  :noid
