Brain fart, got it confused with the Halifax.
The reason I can't get behind the Halifax is that it is so extremely similar to the Lancaster in capability that I just don't see it adding much to the game while, as a four engine bomber, taking a lot of resources to create.

MiG-3 was produced in thousands and saw significant amount of action.

...although due to it's rather poor handling characteristics and overall poor performance, I think other earlier war Soviet fighters would be better additions.

Nothing keeps me from backing any aircraft choice really. I would very much prioritize one over another but keeping something off a wishlist because it's similar to another won't happen.

:aok Nice point there, Slash. I think, personally, that the Ju-52 should appear on the Wishlist more often, and that it chould be reasonable high up on the totem pole of upcoming additions.
