I suspect the next list of planes to vote for will be along the lines of:
P51-A
P51-C
P38-F
B25-A
B17-F
PBY Catalina
F6F-3
F6F-4
F6F-5

I think all the planes that would be popular in the Main Arena are already in the game.  Thus, whatever is added likely isn't going to change much what people see flying around in the Main Arena.

However, there are planes that can make a significant difference to special events:  the He 111 (a major aircraft of Battle of Britain, Ju 88 isn't a good substitute), Pe-2 (a major Soviet attack plane, 11,000 produced, no good substitute), G4M (the main Japanese bomber, no good substitute), LaGG-3 (we need early-war Soviet fighters for eastern-front events), etc.

For special events, the P-39 and B-25 were excellent additions (and I do see them around even in the Late War Arena).

I think all the German Iron fans & squads (there many out there) would highly welcome a mid/late war german bomber. That one could get pretty popular I think. Right now, you are stuck with a very slow, almost defensless early bomber. In that context, the HE 111 would be just another flying target.

A Do 217, Ju 188 or He 177 would really close a gap.

out of those 3  the dornier 217 gets my vote,

2 other critical bombers that will help variation for scenarios and impact in MA,  TU-2 and G4M2 (a better ki67)

then there is the other LW fighter to add and thats the yak-3 which did quite well in the vote.

Why are the b29 requests never joined with a request for a high altitude japanese interceptor?  Why would HTC put a plane in game that nothing could touch if some dweebs were boring enough to let it climb to 35,000ft?

Ok.. bring on the Po-2 (U-2)! With about 40,000 built it MUST be the next plane added to AH  :D

I do agree gavagai.  I believe it's time for something other than American planes.  The He111 and the Russian bombers would be a good addition.  We also need a few more fighters..the ones we have are starting to get boring  :)


we dont need any russian bombers maybe the he-111 for ew would be another choice. Wheres the B-17c for ew?
