My top 5 choices for the next aircraft. What are yours?

[brady]

  With the upcoming Naval addition i feel that the first planes considered should be carrier/anti shipping planes hence my first 2 choices( I love the P1Y1 but it was not carrier capable)the Me 410 is on the list because my love for it defies logic,and the USSR needs a new plane and the Il-2 was one of the most important planes of the entire war(if not the most)and the Italians needs a bomber ,and a torpedo bomber at that, i almost picked the P.108 but we already have the B 17 and it was very similar to it.
  B7A2
  B6N2
  Il-2
  Me 410
  SM 79II

F6F,F4F,TFB,KI84,KI61...Most of all we need a PAC theatre..

[eddiek]

Ki-61 Tony (Why?  'Cause I like the damn things!  Had a ball in the "other" sim flying them........fast, not as nimble as a Zeke, but a sweet bird anyways)

B-25H or J (like the ones used by the 345th in the Pacific......12 50's in the nose, parafrags, the works.......the 75mm cannon would be too damn hard to hit anything with, and with the current damage model, it would take 6 or 7 passes to kill a hangar, rather than the 1 or 2 hits need in RL.   )

F6F-5 Hellcat  (I've already posted my thoughts on this bird.  Had a lot of fun on the challenge ladders, especially against the Ki-84......good turner for an American plane, rugged, all around performer)

Ki-84  (In my opinion, the BEST Japanese fighter of the war.  High speed flaps, decent turner, fast as a Stang.........DROOL..........   )


Bristol Beaufighter  (Just because nobody that I am aware of has one.  Supposed to be one hell of a strafing platform, fast on the deck, and it would fit into the AFRIKA KORPS scenarios and others.)

Wobble, only if you get HTC to model ruined engines sometime during every flight.

P47 with gabby's 56th camo, even on a D30 is all I ask  

[UncleBuck]

Actually the Bomber that most influenced the war and is never depicted in sims is the B-24 Liberator.  the H8K would be great once we have lots of water  but until then the flying boat might be a bit odd.  I would like to see the following:

IL-2
B-24
Spit 1A/IIA
P1Y Ginga

    I think a good mix would be made with these planes.

Brewster into AH!

Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate
Curtiss SB2C Helldiver
Yokosuka D4Y Susei
Nakajima B6N Tenzan
Supermarine Spitfire Mk XIV

The biggest hole I see in the AH planeset right now is the lack of any JAAF aircraft.  The Hayate adds what is arguably the best Japanese fighter produced in significant numbers during the War.   With the addition of the Helldiver, Susei, and Tenzan, we could complete the late war carrier planeset for Pacific scenarios.  Finally, we all deserve a late-War version of one of the finest air to air fighters of WWII - the Spitfire.
