the Tojo's are probably my favorites planes as the zero's and lets not forget the Oscar in a match up with the early us and British planes you could get some very nice fights going.

SEA*TAIU had at least one of every Japanese aircraft to evaluate during the war.  Some needed to be repaired before they could be flown, some were captured intact.

Oh, and 321BAR, Just some FYI since you're into the Reisen.  That A6M3 you're showing in the first picture....  She's painted wrong.  Someone did poor restoration research...or didn't care about historical accuracy which sadly is the case in some restorations flying or not (mostly from long ago.  Restoration shops are much more keen about historical accuracy than they used to be).  That demarcation line swooping up from the wing trailing edge to the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer?  That should run straight back from the wing trailing edge to the tail, underneath the horizontal stabs.  The swoop (as I call it) was a signature of the Nakajima built Reisen.  All A6M3's were built by Mitsubishi.  Nakajima only built A6M2's and A6M5's.

D4Y "Judy" 2038 built


Judy, Judy, Judy!

This is the weak point of the Pacific Planeset in my opinion. It's absence renders Japanese Carrier Air power incapable of mounting a strike after 1942, and really deprives them of what was a very important strike aircraft from land fields as well.

Back in the early 2000's the Judy was included in a vote as to what planes we wanted included. I think we, as a community voted for the Val and Dauntless instead of the Judy/something else. So I always imagined that they had the info required to model it.

Judy/Helldiver or Val/Dauntless.

Didn't know we'd get a 1937 Val and a 1943 Dauntless though....

my wishlist

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

AH needs to keep up with the re-modelling and updating of existing stuff, a hard core wwii aviation playerbase and a good flight model not enough to attract and keep new players in the current graphically intensive gaming world.

But for existing players new toys always keep a game fresh and as I fly almost exclusively the JP planeset the above list would be like christmas with ++ to the Betty and the Tojo

More Jap planes is a treat! Also, I would like to see HTC add more twin engine aircraft in the game. Particularly the German and Japanese twin engine fighters.

do you mean the colored picture at the top? i don't see the swoop you mention and the second picture is an aged picture dating way back.
