Time to start making Bets: Aircraft added in 1.05?

[juzz]

There are no Japanese Army aircraft yet, so I guess the Ki-84-Ib(4x20mm!) would be in order.

Since the USN was using their fighters for divebombing later in the war, I don't really think there is much need for dedicated divebombers like the SB2C, so the F6F-5 would round out the USN list for now.

Roll out that three B-20 La-7 for leonid.

(Now for stuff that won't ever happen, but would be nice)

There's still only one axis bomber, so the P1Y1 should make an appearance.

For a ground attack aircraft, one of the following:
Ki-102b
Il-2M3
Beaufighter Mk.21
Ju 88C-6

Chango; They aren't mine. I have posted a link to the comparisons, but they are hosted on funked's squadron's webpage.

my choice.....

Ok, How does the F6F compare to the P-47, F4-U and similar US planes?

Seeriously, with 1.04 modified FM, the yanks have several very high performance planes. The F4U is now formidable also in turns, for instance.

Would like to see Russian/German/Japanese planes that really can match them.

The Dora would be nice, and wouldn't have to be perked. Sources have told me it'd roll worse than A8 but otherwise be very similar, climb about the same as A5, but have good high altitude perfomance and be faster than A5 and A8 at the deck. I.e it won't be a do all things plane, and you'll give up some things to gain some others.

Hope my sources ain't wrong.

Yep, I'm sure we'll see carrier fighters.  The finest of them all was Brewster Buffalo.

The finnish export model, of course.

I would not be surprised to see a Sherman or a T-34 in 1.05.

They would be fine additions. I remember HTC stating that tank modeling will be rewritten before they add new tanks. If they do ship modeling for next versions I doubt they will have time to write tank part also.

Kids today! Why can't they fetishize Fascist military hardware like normal people?

Ladysmith wants you forthwith to come to her relief
Burn your briefs you leave for France tonight
Carefully cut the straps of the booby-traps and set the captives free
But don't shoot 'til you see her big blue eyes
