Time to start making Bets: Aircraft added in 1.05?

[Pongo]

Rubs crystal ball...
Wildcat....
Kate
Carrier
bonus late anounced for con---
A6m2, M4A3(75)..

In order to achieve this they would allready have to have the majority of it done. I suspect right now they are removing the 76mm gun from the sherman and fine tuning the drop characteristics of the Jpn air drop torpedo.

I predict that all fighters will be carrier capable,

Tempest is completely and utterly un-needed. The new Typhoon seems to be virtually a Tempest, either that or the Tempest was the best fighter of WWII...

[Karnak]

By many accounts the Tempest WAS the best fighter of WWII when BELOW 17,000ft.

I see a lot of people looking for the Wildcat. Why? The MA and main focus of AH seams to be late war aircraft (with few notable exceptions). The Wilcat would be less usefull than the c.202. Everything the wildcat could do the zeke could do better. Except maybe dive...

Also, I would like to see only planes with arrestor hooks able to land on them. Billy Mitchel raids would be one way trips... which of course means we need a B25  

[Karnak]

SpyHawk,
The thread was not about what we wanted, but rather what we were pridicting that 1.05 would bring.

Navy is coming, so the F4F is a reasonable guess.

We do have some '41 aircraft already, the C.202, Spitfire MkVb, Bf109F-4 and Ju88A-4.  F4F wouldn't be entirely new ground.

If I had to predict...

F6F (F4F is too early war for this current set)

TBF

Seafire

Val and Kate (Judys and Jills were not THAT much better, even tho they're Late War versions of these two mainstays)

Zeke 3

(going out on a limb here) 109T: Hitech "zigs" and adds the rare Navalized 109, plus gets most of the work done for a 109E at the same time!!!!

Ki44

La7 or Yak3 (dare I say both?)

Sturmovik IL2 (a must if you're gonna have Ostwinds trundling around on the ground)

Me110G

[Hajo]

Bristol Beaufighter
He-219 Uhu
FW190D9
the "Tony"  (radial version) <G>
Griffon
P-61

Am I dreaming or what?   <G>

[funked]

Sea Fury

[Staga]

Me-410 with BK-5

I just fly Axis so any LW plane will make me happy....but

The allies should have the P-40.  If I was going to lower myself to those allied standards I'd fly the 40

I think the next big Navy a/c will be the Bearcat, followed by the Sea Fury.

Really...

[Sundog]

I think the next aircraft added will be Naval:

F6F-5 Hellcat
Avenger
Jill
(Already have the George and Zeke..will be Naval Zeke added)

And possibly a late model P-40 and either a Ki-61 or Ki-100 (But I would like the Ki-44    )

 

[HABICHT]

190d9
spit14

so we LW's have our chances again.
btw, when we will be again better than US iron, are the allieds again porking us with
a "better" FM?
