Possibly, I really do not know.  I just get a little irked at all the "we need insert plane or vehicle name here before the plane/vehicle that the thread is requesting" responses.  If you want a plane or vehicle added, then request it. There, all better now....rant over. :D
If all responses were positive, then HTC would have to implement all requests. :D

Ask for some non-American uber planes and you'd get more support.  The planeset is WAY to imbalaced right now.

Ask for the Tu-2 instead of the A-26, for example.

We have no Japanese medium bomber for the early or midwar period. We have the 1944/45 Ki-67 substituting for the Betty in 1942/43 scenarios.

We have no early-war IJAAF fighter--not to mention the MOST-produced Japanese fighter of the war.

The main front-line German level bomber of the early war period is missing.

So tell me, how is the A-26 justified when we're missing some VERY important workhorses in the plane set?

think you quoted the wrong name there, I'm all for adding that entire Japanese list posted a couple days ago before any other country gets a plane.

add the a26 and it will be flown more than any of the japanese planes combined.  we dont want planes sitting in the hangar looking pretty (look at the last 3, I hardly see them in the ma).  lets add planes that we actually use  :banana:.

Utility in the Mains is only a fraction of an aircraft's value. FSO and Scenarios are missing MAJOR contributors that pretty much makes any scenario except 1944-45 on the Western European front a nightmare to set up. Add the G4M and Ki-43 and I can guarantee you they'll see FAR heavier use in FSO, scenarios and AvA than the A-26 would.

Actually, I would even venture to say that if the perk on the A-26 was high enough, you'd see more use of the G4M and Ki-43 in Scenarios/etc. than the A-26 would in the MAINS.

You think the perked A-26 (source: Pyro) would get used more than the N1K2-J?  N1K2-J and Ki-84 and A6M5b?

I doubt it.

Again with the gaps.

I think we get it--its all about the Fso and Scenarios.

Alot of other people think differently.

While I would love to see you get the planes you want, I think that after the last 3 or 4 planes you guys would stop it with the "gaps" already.

Apparently I'm wrong.

Again.

Did you miss the fact that it would be a perk plane?

buff perk points everybody has them but nothing to spend them on.

You might be surprised how many people don't have a lot because they either are new or because they cancel for periods.  Even those who have some, would pretty quickly run out and not that many people have the tens of thousands that get posted about on the forums.

If you think any perk plane would overtake the N1K2-J's 4% share of the kills, I don't know what to tell you.
