New Luftwaffe aircraft
« on: January 21, 2000, 05:52:00 PM »
I have never seen any of the following LW a/c in ANY flight sim:

Me-410 [any variant]
Inflight radar for individual planes
Me-163 [only in WB 1.X beta, never in full version]
He-162 [was POS but would be nice to fly]
He-111
Ar-234
Fw-200 [finally a LW bomber]
Ju-88-C4 [night fighter]
Me-262-B [night fighter]

I'd love to get my claws on a Me-163 Komet. Nothing better than out running everybody for 5 minutes, then having a P-51 Mudstain chew me to pieces  


Whattaya think?

Fw-200 [finally a LW bomber]

Or you could say; finally a civilian airliner built for Lufthansa, converted to a long-range reconnaissance type for the IJN, then adopted by the Luftwaffe for the same role.  

It's really not a bomber in the same way the American and British 4 engine types are.

Fishu-

Hard to say for sure. EAW has a dedicated following that generates their own aircraft. Meatwater does scenarios and sounds, and the odd plane or two. I haven't checked in in a while, so I'm not sure what they have.

I recall Pyro saying he would like a Me 410 - perhaps in place of a Bf 110. Oh yeah that's an _accurate quote_. As if. Just something I remember seeing some/long time ago.

If there's ever anything moving around on the ground to shoot at, give me an Hs 129!

Upcoming Fw 190A-5 and Fw 190F-8's will be most important additions to Lufwaffe arsenal.

A-5 is better dopgfighter than A-8 which was heavier and meant to bomber killing mostly. F-8 will finally give dedicated Lufwaffe pilots much needed ground attack plane.

Maybe some twing engined bomber would be nice too.

In an earlier thread the He-100 was mentioned, a picture was included but no performance data. I Know it was a plane with very limited production and only usd to guard the henkel factories but anyone have performance data ?

Yes Jochen, A-5 will be great.  The A-8 is something like 9700 lbs armed and fueled, but the A-5 is only 8500 lbs.  Vroooooom!

Humble, I no longer have the book. It went to an AW as a collected bounty during a scenario <g>

Anyway the HE-100 by all counts was a superior aircraft to the 109. But politics prevailed and Heinkel did not. Good for the Allies, bad for the Axis.

 Here is a good page with a nice picture:
 http://www.stud.uni-hannover.de/user/67700/he100.htm

 I would dare say the Japanese KI-61 appears to have been heavily influenced by this aircraft. Heinkel had even sold some to Japan.

Can't complain about the 109s (not much anyway) only a/c missing in this series is the Bf109K-4, BUT...this should be so close to the G-10 that I understand why its not modeled.

Lets not forget that the G-10 and K-4 are the same a/c for most part, only the G-10 was a rebuilt G-airframe, up to K standard.

The K-4 was a newly built airframe.

The K-4 addition would be largely cosmetic with the G-10 already present.

Cosmetic is the only gripe I have about the 109...shame that HTC missed the opportunity to have correct shades of colors (RLM 74/75/76 being the same on each a/c that shares (on of) these...not). The Black tulip is also a bit tacky, IMHO. Having said that, overal art is gorgeous. Minor issue.

Okay...Fw190s

indeed
F-8 (A-8 JABO derivative, should be easy)

A-3 as early
A-5 as mid level
D-9 as last

This would give a fairly evened out line of Fw190s in addition to the current A-8. The Dora will arrive anyway, but the A-3, 5 and F-8 might not have been planned, I hope HTC will consider these though. A-3 and 4 are practically the same a/c, the 5 is a good mid war variant. The F-8 will give a good ground attack type, at least until the real Luftwaffe mud movers arrive.

So...2 weeks and then $30,-
