Request to HTC : New Planes or More Variants?

[Spatula]

I asked HTC about a P51-B/C (Mustang III) and he said that it will be eventually added along with other plane variants. He gave no time frame on when.

Got a better idea of that timeframe yet HTC?

S! all

I think the early periods of the war would be much more interesting.  

Lets see all or some of the following:

Hurricane I, IIC
Spitfire I, IIA
109B E3, E4
110C
P-40C
P-39D
Finnish Brewster Buffalo model
I-16 Ishak (Little Donkey)
I-153
Cr32
Cr42
MC200
Gloster Gladiator
Wildcat
A6M2
Ki-43 Hayabusa
Dewotnine 520
Curtis Hawk
MS406
some kind of Polish era Pzl

Take your pick of 5 or 6 of these, and then you could do either the Spanish Civil War, Finnish Winter War, or the Polish Campaign, or France '40, or BOB, or early Malta, Early Desert or the early Pacific.

Biplanes are great fun to fly, as I bet would be the "little donkey".

OOOOOPS, sorry, did some more research about the F8 and it can take alot more things then I thought. Sorry.

The 190G1 could carry 1x1.800 KG bomb, 3.968lbs that is.

I really think that we need the Devastator for CV scenarios.

The competitive CV battles (and there were only FOUR of those...Coral Sea, Midway, and then two near Guadalacanal..the war in the Pacific was NOT a war of CVs battling each other) all were early in the war, and were before the fleet could totally get rid of their Devastators.

Back in WB, I remember the US used to ALWAYS win the CV battles. The Wildcats, surprisingly, almost always beat the Zeros, the Dauntlesses could carry 1000 lbers and the Vals couldn't, and the US had Avengers which are infinately more capable and survivable than Devastors.

Without the US having Devastators the CV battle scenario that we will inevitably have will never be balanced.

Just realized the Devastator only carried a 1/2 ton torp too.  This same torp was very lucky to detonate if you managed to hit anything...

Variants are typically easier to do.  We'll be doing a lot of new variants for the next version and at least one completely new type.

Thanks!

Well I'm not going to be left off the wish list.  

Here it is in my own very special order of importance:  

He 219A-7/R6, big twin engine fast night fighter/bomber killer. 435 mph, 4 foward fireing (ff) 30mm, 2 ff 20mm, and two upward firing 30mm in rear cockpit. I think it could double very well as a ground attack aircraft. Fly under the Lancaster. Hmmm  
He 177A-5/R2 Greif for a German heavy bomber.
P-47M
P-51H
B-25G w/75mm cannon  
Ki-84
Bf110C-4
Fw 190D9
Ju 87D-7
He 111
A-26B-1
Mosquito FB.Mk XVIII w/57mm nose gun
P-39N
MiG-3
B-24J
B-29A I hear will be perked
Pe-2
He-129 w/75mm
Me-410
Il-2
Blohm und Voss Bv 222 Wiking
PBY-5A

S!

If HTC is going to mostly do variants, then I would suggest the following:

Tempest V  (relatively close visual model of Typhoon)
Spitfire I, IIA, IXLF
109E-3, E-4, T
FW190A3, FW190F
JU-88C  Nightfighter model
P-51B, P-51H
P-47C, P-47D-23  (both Razorback)  P-47M
P-38F, P38J
B-17F  (Minus Chin turret)
Yak-9, (Most common Yak-9) Yak-3
La-7

For new aircraft, if they are making only a few, then they should add some Japanese army aircraft, as well as a Japanese Navy Dive Bomber or Torpedo plane.  A Mosquito MKVI would also be a good addition to game play as it would give the bomber pilots the ability to come in at high speed and evade any CAP at lower altitude.  The Germans need a new Fighter too.  190D, and it should not be perked.

Ki-84, or Ki-43
Jill
190D
Mosquito MkVI

Yeah we really need 5 or 6 more US aircraft.

[brady]

 What Raubvogel said, ya thats it shure more US planes.

RAM, even you must agree that if they're gonna do a Hurricane, make a MkIID as well (The one with 2x40mm)

Don't worry, only 27(?) rpg so no spray 'n praying

Duma I put it as an "early war" UK plane, just as I put a Me109E-3, or a MC-200.

The Hurri-IIC?...I wont like to have to face a HO from such a plane   . But I really think that a Hurricane I would be better, at least for be used on special events  

I said I'd put one early war plane for each nation, and I thought that the Hurricane I would be the best choice

Lol... itd be interesting if HTC adds the French P-38. It had no counter-rotating engines. What say you citabria, you'd take it for a spin (literally)?
