There are 3 criteria.

Saw combat
unit strength (i.e. at least staffed a full unit, rather than 1 plane saw service with 1 unit)
Production models. No prototypes.

These are things HTC has commented on many years back and they have become the official criteria for future additions of the game. They didn't lay them down as a list, but they have since been condensed down into a list.

Krusty,

With this most recent generation of players I'm starting to think Hitech needs to change the name of this forum. Wishlist without any qualifiers is like daddy forgetting to place a password on the free adult channels. Wishes like this aren't much different than simply wishing Hitech would add the following perk MODs to the game:

Smart Munitions.
100% no miss aimbot gunsights.
600 second Invisibility cloaks.
600 second 550mph engine power ups.
Deflector sheilds.
Insta-teleportation.
60 second Auto-AI-Super-ACM-Pilot<---antiGrizz technology.
60 second Invicibility sheilding.
600 second unlimited ammo.
Unlimited vulgar language exclusions.

Sounds like WoW.......

HTC should make a topic stating this, then have it stickied. for those who werent on the forums when he said this.

it would stop many headach causing wishlist posts. (including my own sadly)

Any search anywhere will turn up these criteria. It's a very common part of the forums and the community as a whole. If you can't find it, you weren't looking. HTC doesn't need to make it a sticky (and you'll find they rarely make such declarations regardless)

There are things to research and suggest other than ever later, even post war now, American stuff.

Look at some of the early war American stuff that we don't have yet if you really want only American stuff, but keep it in the war.

ive suggested the Drache (really want it).

but, the flak i got for that one.......

I certainly searched and didn't find any official word from HTC. The community itself certainly spouts out this criteria in every turn...and just like you, says it's "the official word". While the criteria itself makes sense IMO, I've yet to see a comment from HTC regarding it.

Where did anyone say anything about adding only American stuff?

I can think of at least one counter-example to that.

If you're talking about the 152, it passes that test.  I would have mentioned Squadron Strength though.
