French aircraft were relevant for maybe a few months of the war at most, while the Free French Air Force used a large numbers of foreign-produced aircraft (Curtiss Hawks and P-40s, Spitfires, etc.). Would they be a nice add? Maybe in the future, but there's a lot more glaring gaps. And isn't the Lancaster available in the EWA? Technically, our Lanc SHOULDN'T be because it's a later mark, but that's beside the point...

using that argument the Brewster export we have shouldn't have been added to the game.  Regardless of how little operational time it saw during the Battle of the Lowlands and France, the French planes did see a lot of operational combat time during this period and would be good additions to the early war planes set.  In addition, these planes and others that flew with the Dutch, Czechs and Poles would help make the early war plane set a true early war plane set instead of the hodge podge mess it is now.  Also, a few of the Dutch planes could also be used for the early war PTO plane set.

Japanese are suffering more than all the other countries right now. Italy flew a lot of German crates, and Lend-Lease can at least fill in the gaps short-term for the Russians so these have valid plug-ins for now.

Agreed, the Japanese plane set, especially the early war and mid-war IJAF fighter and IJN/IJAF bombers plane set needs additions and should get the main focus.  I don't really agree with though about the Soviet plane set, at least in regards to bombers.  Right now, the Soviet plane set is okay because the Soviet set is filled in by a lot of Lend-Lease planes already present in the game.  The Soviets could use though the Yak 3 and MiG-3 with maybe the MiG-1 for an additional early war Soviet plane.  The Soviets need most is a bomber thought I'm not sure how much use they'd see in the MW or LW arenas when bombers like the B-17, B-24, Lancasters and the new Mosquito are available.

But when we have Bf-110s subbing in for Ki-45s, no early-war IJAAF fighter whatsoever, and Ki-67s replacing G4Ms over Guadalcanal and China something is very, VERY wrong.

True, that's why the Japanese planes should receive the priority attention.

I mean, seriously, it's sooooo pretty!

The Blackwidow also saw action in the ETO and CBI and it did not go 500mph at 5,000ft.

 How bout this for some new planes...and weapons!!!! Yes. Give us the B-29 and a Fat Boy A-Bomb.  Ok to keep people honest with it (otherwise people would just nuke each other all the time) assign a perk value to the bomber, and a higher one for the bomb. Then give us a F-8 Bearcat and Hawker Seafury, or to even out the jets available give us the Gloster Meteor..after all they were in use and knocked down some v1s and v2s which we could also have added and given perks assign.

He doesn't know how to search or read. He is best left ignored until he eventually makes some sort of post with logic in it.

B-29 - No. It would overbalance the game and there are way more important planes to add than this one. Search for other B-29 threads and your questions and concerns will be put to rest.
F-8F Bearcat - No. Did not see combat in WW2. Sorry.
Hawker Seafury - No. Did not see combat in WW2. Sorry.
Gloster Meteor - No. While it did see combat in WW2 and was in squadron strength, there are still other planes needed in the AH planeset first.
