BADLY neglected plane set.

[RedMizt]

AMEN Sax!

[Bino]

I'd call these "needed"...

    G4M2 "Betty"
    Ki-43-I and -II "Oscar"
    B6N2 "Jill"
    D4Y1 and D4Y3 "Judy"

and these "nice to have"...

    Ki-27 "Nate"
    A6M3 "Zero"
    Ki-45 KAIb "Nick"

But that's just me putting in my own two quatloos here. 

[Saxman]

One way or another, the absence of two of Japan's most important aircraft--the G4M and Ki-43--is just about inexcusable.

[StLouis]

The Japanese plane set without a doubt is one of the most neglected in the game.

DESPERATELY Needed:

Ki-43 (PRIORITY AIRCRAFT!)
G4M (PRIORITY AIRCRAFT!)
Ki-21
Ki-27
A5M
D4Y
B6N

Would like, but not critical:

G3M
Ki-44
Ki-45
J2M
N1K2 (we have the N1K2-J)
A6M3 Models 32 and 22 (Model 22 would be prefered, but I could see the clipped-wing Model 32 because it would offer something distinctive from the A6M2 and A6M5)
Ki-100
B7A (actually faster and more maneuverable than the Zero. Small production numbers could make it a rare perk choice for the Japanese set)
Ki-48
Ki-30
Ki-49
P1Y

A36 please

I really don't have a desire to see any of these hangar queens...

Who says they would be used for the Late War Arenas? They would be quite useful in FSO and the Scenarios.

Crawl out of the DA sometime and you'll be surprised to find out there's more to the game than picking guys off in a Tempest and running with your tail between your legs at the first sight of a co-alt con.

[Westy]

"running with your tail between your legs"

 <shrug> Aint that SOP by those who dwell in the Diper Arena.

[Westy]

Ooops.    I'll 13,323rd Sax's list!

More, more, more!

[Eagleclaw]

The Soviet Mig-3 would be a nice single seat fighter to see in the game.

Thats kind of the point for me, I don't play FSO or scenarios so that would pretty much be why I don't really care to see any of these planes added.

I've actually never been to the furball portion of the DA, I play the MA's, and generally don't pick in a tempest when I do...Nice to see you assume though.

There's a lot more people than you, however, that DO. I guess you're going to tell us that the Brewster and I-16 were wastes of time, as well?

I would guess that the majority of AH players don't participate in anything other than the Late War MA's, it's not just me.  And no, while I wouldn't say they were wastes of time per se, I would of chose different aircraft to add, as I'm sure most of everyone would have.

[Saxman]

Let me guess? More late-war super rides that saw maybe a week of combat, if that?
