P-63= P-39

Better look at a book boyo. While it may look like an airacobra, the P-63 performs more like an LA-7.

Today isn't my day. *facepalm*

Might as well make it a double facepalm while I'm at it.

It was always my belief that the P-63 and the P-39 were just variants of one another with slight changes, very slight. I'm gonna have to shut up and do some dug down research before I open my trap again.

You will be pleasantly surprised if you research the P-63.

D.520  :rofl I would prefer shooting down an enemy plane to trying to give it acupunture. 4x 7.7s isn't even respectable. TheHurri mk1 has 8 or them and they hardly put a dent in anything.
The engined mounted 20mm HS.404 might leave more than pinsalamanders.  FYI, the HS.404 is the same gun as the Spitfire Mk Vb's Hispano Mk I.

#1 PE-2  - Would add a Russian attack capability. They are the only major faction without an attacker. I believe it has the largest production numbers of any aircraft not already included in Aces High.

No, I believe that title belongs to the Polikarpov(sumthin like that) U-2, weiging in with around fourty thousand built. Very low priority, as we have no use for nuisance tactics. I believe the only thing it really had going for it versus metal monoplanes was that it was so slow pilots could not pull a bead on their target before they had overshot it.

The Russians have an attack aircraft. Several, actually. The Boston, IL2, La7, Yak-9T...

I knew it had 20mm but only 60 rpg with one cowl gun? Is that correct? If not send me a source, I would like to look it up better anyway. Maybe my memory is gone, who knows?

My wish list from a few months ago still hasn't changed.

Ki-43 "Oscar" 5919 built
G4M "Betty" 2446 built
D4Y "Judy" 2038 built
Ki-45 "Nick" 1701 built
Ki-44 "Tojo" 1225 built

add the A6M3, the M-18 Hellcat, and the Yaks 1 and 3 and you got mine :aok

Personally I would like to see the Ki-43, Ki-44, Ki-45 and the G4M Betty. The Ki-43 and Betty for the special events, and they would get some MA action. I think the Ki-44 and Ki-45 would have a little more use in the MA. Japanese plane set is what I would vote to work on.  :rock

B-29 (just like everyone else wants it as a perked plane) Everyone? No way ;)

Lancasters with Tallboy (12,000lb) and Grand Slam (22,000lb) bombs. We don't have appropriate targets for those

F-7F Tigercat & F-8F Bearcat (very late war fighters) So late that none saw any action.

I can understand the last one but, the first two there shouldn't have an excuse. :P

No such animal ever existed.
Nice choice, even if misspelled.
Might be amusing along with the I-153 and CR.42. Still low priority.
Extremely fragile maritime patrol aircraft.  Wouldn't have much use in AH and as a fairly large aircraft would take a lot of work to add.
Rare aircraft, would be a nice perk plane in the Early War Arena....if the Hurricane IIc didn't exist.
Sank more tonnage of Axis shipping than any other torpedo bomber and outlasted its replacement so it definitely merits addition based on historical relevance, however it would perform far, far more poorly in AH.
No such think as a Mk Ic.  Sea Hurricane would be nice, but Seafire was more important so given the choice between a Sea Hurri and a Seafire Mk III, I'd take the Seafire.
Sheer, utter death trap.
Neat looking bomber, but Wellington would be better to add.
Maybe someday, but extremely low priority.  Only Allied jet that is even an option though.
I'd rather see the Fairey Firefly, but I don't think either are high priorities.


The only British aircraft that I'd say have a decently high priority would be the Wellington, the Beaufighter and perhaps a bomber version of the Mosquito.

The Russian and Japanese sets need attention, if possible.  Data is an issue there.





Ahem in regards to the Spitfire Mk8 (CV )
                                                        I meant to type in Spitfire Mk8 (CW) its a cliped wing version used by the American Army Air Corp and New Zealand Austrailian And British against the japanese now i can only remember it called as a Spitfire Mk8 (CW) but it had a few other letter's and numbers between the Mk8 and (CW) oops my bad  :(
