i know am not asking for much but thats my wishlist and for my next trick i will be walking on water

[Saxman]

There's not much place for the A6M2-N even in sceario play. The Float Zeke saw very little use.

There's only scattered evidence of P-63s ever seeing combat.

Do-335 and Bf-109Z never saw combat

AND NO MORE JETS!!!!!!!! 

[Enker]

The Lerche never even made it off the drawing boards.
We already have the Ki-61, unless you speak of some variant.
I have not heard of any evidence that the Yak-15 ever saw combat.

IL-2 is developed by some 100+ people (I think?) whereas Aces High is developed by 10 (I think) Considering that we get around 2 planes per update, there would be a long time before we get all of these. Plus, IL-2 sucks. Need an example? Look at their .50 cals. They are no better than BBs.

i know am not asking for much but thats my wishlist and for my next trick i will be walking on water Now THAT is an understatement!

[Motherland]

whereas Aces High is developed by 10 (I think)

I'm pretty sure HiTech, Pyro, Waffle and Superfly are the only ones involved with game development.

The IAR 80 is Romanian, not Italian.

A lot of those planes never saw combat or were never even built. It's called Il2 1946 for a reason

[Denholm]

...GERMAN...
...HE 111H2...

Now there's a wish I can get behind.

USSR
YAK 15 (JET)

First flight was in 1946, WW2 ended in 1945.

JAP
KI 61 1 HEI

Brings nothing new to the game the version of the Tony we have doesn't already bring to the table. 

GERMAN
DO 335A0
BF109Z

Only 13 Do 335A-0s were built before the war ended and there is only one report of any Allied pilots encountering one in combat operations when a Frenchman flying for the Free French in the RAF encountered a Do 335A-0 which promptly out ran the RAF Tempest.  Doesn't meet the qualifications to be added to the game.

Bf 109Z "Zwilling" never flew.

ITALY
IAR 80

It helps when suggesting a wishlist for a plane that you actually do some research so that the very least, you'll know which countries flew which plane.  IAR 80 was a Romanian designed and built fighter not Italian.



ack-ack

[texastc316]

Bring on the IAR 80!!!

[xOLLYx]

See Rule #6

[Ack-Ack]

See Rule #6

Just because a certain country's plane set needs to be filled out it doesn't necessarily mean we need to add planes that never saw any action in the war or "What If" planes.  Yes, the .303 rifle caliber round was relatively weak compared to the .50 caliber and cannons used but you have to remember that the .303 is essentially a rifle round.  It can still be very deadly but still not effective as a .50 caliber or cannon.

[Bruv119]

the lagg 3  was a  "flying coffin"  POS    if there was ever a hangar queen this would be it .

The I-16 we have in beta and is a very fun plane.

We do need a russian bomber and the TU-2 should be first in line IMO.

and of course we need the uber Yak -3 to complete the yak series.

[AirFlyer]

Not so sure on the A6M2-N but it would be cool to have a float plane. Given the choice though I'd rather have the A6M3 21 or 32 model(in that order).

[xOLLYx]

the A6M2-N can be at the port next to the ships something to blow up has well or fly them has a scout plane for the cv in fso or scenarios

[Martyn]

Wot about the Fairey Battle then? 

[Anaxogoras]

Plus, IL-2 sucks. Need an example? Look at their .50 cals. They are no better than BBs.

I find them to be about the same lethality as AH, but gunnery in general is more difficult in Il-2, which may explain your BB perception.  The only thing I can think of for why it's more difficult in Il-2 is that you don't see large hit strikes from .30 and .50 cal bullets, and so there's a lot less feedback to learn from.

The gunnery is different in IL-2, I will agree to that. However, when I am shooting at the suicidal D3A1s at 100 feet, I can get a good 1 second burst into the wing of the D3A1, and I simply get a fire, rather than the "wing being sawn off." If you try it on a He-111, you simply aerate the wing, as you would with any gun until you step it up to cannon rounds. This is why I think .50 cals in IL-2 are screwy. I mean, if you can saw off the wing of a B-17 with .50 cals here, why can you not against a He-111 or Ju-88 in IL-2?
