What are the "other" new A/C for 1.06 ?

"There's a lot of new planes in 1.06. We've shown six so far- the Tempest V, La-7, Yak-9T, Ar 234B, Fw 190F-8, and the Ta 152H. We have another two under construction so it looks like we'll have a total of eight."

Does anyone know what the "two under construction" are ? I'm hoping they are for either Japan/Italy/Russia or something to allow us to have a big historic event.

Given the planes we have/will get in 1.06 what do yo think the next big event will be ?

P51H & KI84 are my guesses.  I wish that I had inside info, but I don't.

"P51H & KI84 are my guesses"

I hope its neither of those. We have a pony and the Ki84 while needed it is too much like the N1k.... Jabo or Bomber for Japan/Italy/Russia please.

Id like to see at least one French fighter, and one from the Scandinavian/low countries/Belgium.

Ive never seen them in any sim.. heck, seeing the 205 and 202 here are still a shock to me

Firstly: G'day Laika

Second: considering the whining about the Niki, the Ki84 seems unlikely..the same for P-51H. Can open a pandoras box, ie P-47M
Pleeeeease no more!


Likely:

SpitXIV : Depsite the desire by most who fear it's 'uberness'to leave it out , this is a major RAF fighter that deserves to be present. However the Tempest maybe fulfill that role this update

Me262 :Perhaps a necessary evil, but limited in it's application..WB's has shown a strong desire to kill these birds can limit its use.  Usually only flown by experten, or raw recruits expecting a F-16 performance, and resulting success.

B-29 :Only because the predominance of fighters seems to point to a Heavy bomber. Unsure what to make of its impact, but could become the B52 role the lightly gunned Lanc can't fulfill.

Sherman tank :Keeps the yank tankers happy    
But role already filled by Pz. The lean towards a land/sea base may preclude it from this update.

Possible:

Fw190D-9 : the F-8/Ta152 seems to kill any idea that a third Fw will be coming. However the lobbyists involved are vocal.

Il-2 : THE tactical Russian a/c.

G3M/G4M: A pressing need to for a Japenese bomber pushes for a torp capable land based a/c. Japenese CV base a/c were fragile to say the least, and would be like C-47's with torps in the MA.

Ju88C/G: Bring on the nightfighting, but the lean towards sea ops makes the nightwar far off.

Wishful thinking:

Beaufighter: deadly anti-shipping role, however not terribly uber or well known.

LVT: Needed! But I think I heard it's not going to be ready in time for 1.06 (hopefully I'm way off)

Panther tank: A tank that can stand up to med/small airfield defences.

A-20 Havoc/ A-26 Invader: It's got the guns. It's got the bombs..Attack!!

tronski,

Are you saying the H and KI are better than the 262 and XIV?  Also, AH has two Spitfires and 190s already.

I hope they never bring back the night part of the game. Play Falcon4 if you want to play with RADAR.

Whining will always happen.

 Not at all.

 But I think that the XIV, and 262 are more likely at this stage than a P-51H.
There are 2 spits, but the differences between the IX, and XIV are far more profound  than a P-51D and P-51H.

As for the Ki84, it is an important a/c and would not be out of place. But the whingeing about the Niki may preclude it's place for now. I would think a more 'sedate' Japenese fighter may be on its way ( a Raiden, or Ki61 etc)

As for nightfighting, rarely would it be pitch black. Radar already plays a part in AH, but a reduced radar on board a NF could make an interesting concept.

I'd like to see it limited to WW2 planes.  A post-1942 Spitfire would be nice.  
How about a bomber for the VVS or the Japanese?
Or ANY IJAAF aircraft?

Could be an ideal opportunity to introduce the Shoki aka Tojo into a sim.  

Ki-44-II: 376mph at 17k, climbrate like the La-5FN, wings smaller than on the Me 109. Armed with 4x12.7mm - although some had two 37mm or 40mm low velocity cannon for use against vehicles.

I hope the Il-2 is included. And the T-34.

Il-2 would be nice, it is totally different from anything we have right now. It wasnt very fast or maneuverable but here it would be fun to fly just above the ground with gunner pinging chasing fighters. Needless to say, Il-2 would be the ammo sponge of the game, well mabe after PzKw IVH.

Well, whatever the two unannounced planes are, I'm totally happy.

I think you mean the A-26 Invader. (The A-20 was the Havoc, nice plane though!) It certainly has got the guns - 8 in the nose and more in the wings, a possible total of 16 forward firing guns   Should be a perk bomber IMO, with perhaps the Havoc used as a non-perk light bomber (Over 7k built).

Man, this is turning into a Korean War sim now...

When are they going to add in early or mid war planes?
