Author Topic: My thoughts on units Aces High needs. (Read 574 times)

I think we have nearly enough American and German aircraft for awhile. Give a P-47M/N so the Americans have a perk and give the Germans the Me410A-R6 and Ju88C-6 and then leave off for awhile.

We NEED more Japanese aircraft, and not the silly 1939 aircraft that every non-Japanese aircraft aficiado says they should have. We need late war Japanese aircraft. We should get more Russian, British and Italian aircraft as well.

The Japanese are the least represented of the big 5, actually being matched in numbers, if not capability, by the Italians. The Japanese need to get more aircraft before any other nation. I would like to see the following:

Ki44
Ki61 IIb
Ki67
Ki84b
Ki102
A7M2
B7A2
H8K2
J2M3
P1Y1
Yamato

The last version doubled the number of Russian units, but they are still missing significant items that should be higher on the priority list than new American or German aircraft. These units should be added:

T-34/85
Il2-M3
Il10
Pe2
Tu2
Yak3
Yak9-UT

We are two airframes from having the essential British list, the Mosquito and the Hurricane. In addition we need 2 or 3 more Spitfires. The Germans have 4 109s and 5 190s, the Brits have 3 Spits, two of which are from 1941.
I would add the following aircraft for the British before adding more American or German aircraft:

Hurricane MkIIc
Hurricane MkIId
Mosquito FB.MkVI
Mosquito B.MkXVI
Spitfire MkXII or Spitfire LF.MkIXc or Spitfire MkXVIe
Spitfire F.MkXIVc or Spitfire F.MkXVIII or Spitfire F.21

I don't know much about Italian aircraft, but they should at least get these two before more American or German aircraft are added:

S.M.79b
G.55

What do you guys think?

Yeah, fly the Yamato.
"Furball 2oclock low"
"Charge the Wave Motion Gun"

Woohoo!!!
Operational Ceiling? Iscandar!

Um, guys, I was thinking more along the lines of the 1944 Yamato. Removing the 2 midships 3x6" turrets and possessing the tremendous AA castle. Couldn't really fly it per se either.

GRUNHERZ,
At the top I mentioned the Me410A-R6 and Ju88C-6.

I am referring to the Yamato from 1944.

Does it have a dingy?

And what good is a patch without at least 3-4 LW planes? I wont fly it unless we have a good 50% ratio of new planes added each patch for LW.

Ok I'll bend add the 410 and I don't care if you add a GMC in there.

I still want the carrier launched Firefly.

Before that just give us an olive drab P38
just as a present to the few dedicated Lightning warriors here. It won't be that much work just like they did with the messerschmidt's, mustang, jug etc. even the 205 got a close variant

And since the L is the most uber lightning nobody would complain

nice list id like to see these but i think i might hate the impact one or two of these might make.....

jap:

Nakajima Ki-44-IIIb 4x20mm(IIIc had 2x20 2x 37mm)(HO hell?)
Nakajima B6N2 'jill' (well used for torpedo and kamakazi attacks)
Kawasaki Ki-102b ground attack with a 57mm Ho-401 cannon(its even named after it!)

not so scary ...
italian:

savoia-Marchetti S.M.82 Canguru
Piaggio P.108b (4 engined heavy bomber 8x12.7mm 7,716lb bombload)

Amen bug! A nice green J model and a nice green/white D model (with 37mm cannon) will do very nicely.

Sturm · « **Reply #14 on:** April 08, 2001, 05:03:00 PM »

How about a ME-410? Would look nice in here I think
