Yes, at some point. I surely would like to see some other countries with a bit more varied representation first...  

I will fly it, believe me. I just would like to see a balance of choice in the MA.

I think it is definate must-have.

BUT: I think we should wait till we have carriers to fly them from first.

I am waiting on it   , was what I read about as young boy   "Flight Deck" by Rob White I beleive . Plus really want the dive bombers to go along with it .

Some might tell you we already have the Hog why have that ?

Well if P47 in AH tells ya anything , Hellcat should be a damn good .   IMO

cheers spro

If Hellcats were modeled then EVERYONE, i mean EVERYONE, would fly it. How about releasing it at the same time as the ki-61 or the 84?

I will give a vote for the F4F Wildcat but not the F6F Hellcat.

The US needs some old, outdated POSs, not more mid/late-war stuff.  They're already the most advataged in the planeset.

Well, thing is if we get a decent Navy setup, then we would need more Navy planes...especially for scenarios. Then we'd end up needing more IJN planes as well.

Sorry, I'm just big on Naval Aviation

I'd like to see the F4F for scenarios and the F6F-3.  We should also have a P-40 and some early jap zeros.

I'm sure it will all be taken care of in due time.

My vote for the next Japanese aircraft goes to the Ki-61, put the Ki-84 can go into some sort of hot rod pack along with the tempest and dora.

The Ki-102 Randy should be released with the B-25H-5 and Bf.110G, for those of use who are huge firepower freaks.

If you guys get the Wildcat, then HTC has to model it with the `Manually' operated landing gear. You guys are going to be tapping the keyboard for awhile after take off and before landing!

Sure. And you can go out and bend the trim tabs on your ride until it "feels right" in the other aircraft that didn't have trim controls in the cockpit.
