Well Wmaker, I can't really think of any brand new german fighters (as opposed to a new model 190 or 109) unless I'm forgeting some. Bombers? sure. Japanese planes? sure.

Well the Me410 is one and even though it's my favourite, it's not really "a priority". Beaufighter for example is far more significant historically. Me410 would in turn have more MA-ultility value. But I wasn't really asking for German fighters...or even bombers right now. :) He-111 would be great of course and Ju-188/He-177 would have MA-value.

Here's a few new planes that are "the most urgent" in my opinion:

Ki-43
Pe-2
D4Y
Yak-1/3 -family
G4M

Again, just my opinion. :)

...The next few planes could be geared more towards MA-use and I think Yak-3 would see its share of use in the MA too.

Gaping holes in AM set coming to my mind:

Early war Japanese fighter - Ki-43
Early war Japanese Bomber - G4M
Any Soviet bomber
A mid/late war German bomber (Do 217/Ju 188)

I demand the 410, if I don't get it.....I'll just keep upping 110's....sigh

Here is a toss out:

Heinkel He-162 Salamander  AKA: Sparrow  :devil

On a side note, I'm kinda surprised that the forum auto spell check thingy does not recognize Heinkel as a correct word.  :noid

Avro Anson, anybody?

(ducks the brickbats and scorn  ;) )

Fairey Swordfish for this ol' cat, plus any other of the British Fleet Air Arm aircraft: Skua, Barracuda, Firefly, et al.

Or maybe Sandwich's amazing P-262 - nice one!

(ducks again)

OK, OK, let's get serious.

Nakajima Ki-43-II 'Oscar': the numerically most important IJAAF aircraft of the war, its continuing absence is the most glaring gap in the AH flightline.

Well, we have the RV-8 in-game already, and that first flew in 1995. What's to stop us from having the F-22? Other than HTC of course  :joystick:

I hope that the next things added won't be limited to just one plane. I have to agree that the Japanese, Russian, Italian and even the German planes set is lacking compared the Allied set.
I'm sure HTC will add what they can, when they can. But man, it must be a huge pain in the arse to get cockpit views, FMs, guns, damage models..all that together and correct. I'm just thankful they have my planes of choice already added.

     I think 1958 just might be pushing the limits a tad.  Nice choice though  :aok

Lol. I saw a renovated one fly over my house yesterday, only noticed it because it threw on afterburners. I guess it was a new engine.  :x
