A still-hot 'mother of two' in a weird looking jet? 

[-aper-]

Both wingloadings and powerloadings are very close to each other. Both use similar props, and identical airfoils (Clark YH 14% at the root and 10% at the tip which was already quite old technology when Yak-3 entered service.) and very similar wing planforms. It definately would be a fun MA ride but I can't see it being any better than Yak-9U.

Yak-3 was very light and that is why in real life it was so agile. Very easy and quick response on the stick and very low inertia gave this plane the unique abilities to go into manoeuvre much faster than other planes could do. I'm not sure if it can be modeled properly in AH though.

Me-410 or Hs-129

hopefully 

[STEELE]

I don't mean to drum up the 410, but a 110 with better powerloading and MK103 guns would be something else.

I do mean to drum it up     also so did (48%?) of the voters in the poll 
Even though the He111 is needed for scenarios, the 410 would never be a hangar queen, and possibly a worthy opponent for t3h 4mazin B29 !1!!

Those polls aren't very accurate IMO.... Once your ride is ruled out you're voting for something you don't want. Or you're voting to negate another vote (say you don't want to see A-26 or you don't want to see B-29 -- you then vote Me410).


IMO not the best way to gauge things. Look at the first tier voting and that might give a better idea. Those later tiers with reduced options? Who knows why folks voted. Could be out of love of that plane, or could be totally different reasons.

A post war Meteor in post war markings?

[W7LPNRICK]

A lot of this posturing is silly nonsense. I would be happy with the A-26/Me-410/He-111. Anything new is nice. AH will get to the one's in higher demand eventually. I bet all these nay-sayers will be flying & enjoying the one's they're opposing the most now.   

[moot]

By documented performance ratings that's not that clear...from what I read....& I might be able to fly the Me410 a little better than a 38.

Postwar planes .... dont open this can of worms ....

[Kazaa]

The Gloster Meteor F Mk III would be the only plane to get me hooked playing AH again.

[Urchin]

Ki-43, Ki-44, Ki-45. Also, a J2M so the IJN doesn't feel left out.

Hell, even a Ki-27 for the I-16s! Khalkin Gol scenarios! Now that we know biplanes are possible... an I-15 to make it even cooler

CR 42, MC200 and we can recreate early Med/North African scenarios. We can recreate em better if we get a Gloster Gladiator and Fairey Swordfish too!

Seriously, I'm thinking all the late-war uberbirds have pretty much all been added. There isn't anything left that will see serious use.

Flesh out the planeset, or flesh out the ground game. I'd rather see the planeset, but I'm a walking, talking anachronism.

[G0ALY]

Given the ultra-uberness of the B29... it is time for the pendulum to swing the other way! Give me the Swordfish!



Rockets and Bombs and Torpedoes….. OH MY!

Perhaps Winkle meant it cut through the air like a knife edge?
