Can you tell us which planes are going to have variants produced for 1.06?

Or atleast give us some useful hints so we can speculate!  

How about some twin engine stuff like Me 410 or A-20? Don't seem much of them in arena. Of course I'm happy just to get new planes!

I'm pretty sure that we'll get Russian and Japanese variants/fighters soon. And then a Dora for crissake

We just must have the He-219 Uhu.   It was the first operational plane with ejection seat and pressurized cabin. Twin engine, 416mph for the A-7/R1 and 435mph for the A-7/R6. 4 forward firing 30mm and 2 forward firing 20mm, plus 2 upward firing 30mm. They would fly under the Lancasters and shoot their fuel tanks (didn't want to hit the bombs and get themselves killed too   .

As a fan of the Uhu, it pains me to say that it would be easy meat in the MA, the way it is structured now.
The Schrage musik would be a great asset..however limited it use would be

With armament like this and the gunery skills of most of the MA this thing would be certain death in a snapshot or on your 6.

 The He 219 would be great fun, but i think we are almost missing a very good point hear....A good way to introduce night to the game. Ultraviolet instrument lighting, a onboard radar display u had to work to find your target, moonlight so ground troops could see to a certain extent, starshell's flairs, lightfloats....It could be done and it would be fun, but would they spend the time on it, or make us new planes and maybe add a submarine capability instead?
