Here's one way to look at an introduction of another American fighter...

...how about adding one after the bolded ones are here.

And just where, sir, is the Westland Whirlwind on your list???

Well, was going to say that the P61 did not arrive early enough to be considered an important add to the AH lineup, but after doind some browsing the 1st Squadrons of P61s began operating in mid-1944 in the ETO and PTO. I think it would be a nice addition....eventually, but there are quite a few planes that should be here before the Widow even becomes a though.

I find the lack of Short Stirling to be disturbing.

[DREDIOCK]

As much as I'd LOVE to have the Black Widow. I have to agree that there are other planes   from other countries that should be added Not only first. but also before any other American plane is even again considered. Russian and Japanese in particular are under represented, although some of the Russian lineup weakness is negated by the duel country planes like the 39.
Germany is still missing a troop transport and the 410

Same thing goes for the GVs although to a somewhat lessor extent.

As for the french...
They are already well represented with the white flags

Dred, while I agree with the AC that should be added portion of the post, you really need to pick up a book and read about the Battle for France in WW2. It was not the French Military that blundered, it was thew defeatism that gripped the French High Command. French Troops fought gallantly during that battle and only fell back or redeployed in the face of overwhelming odds, lack of ammunition, etc. On the contrary, many French attacks, including many attacks to the German Flank caused some German Units to fall back, make unnecessary withdrawals, and even at times flee in panic. The French were the main reason that the British were able to salvage most of thier men in the DUnkirk evacuation because they stayed and fought to keep the corridor open. Please, no more jokes about the French being subpar or chickenshite. They fought with an honor that many dont give them. Those in ther higher military circles should have been hung along with Nazi's at the end of the War for their willingness to abandon Paris and thei country when steadfastness and determination were needed. Shame on you and your dumb WHite Flag comment!

It was a joke. Im sure some folks here even understood that and got it.

The "Wishlist" forum should be changed to the " We don't need what you want, but here's why we need what I want" forum.
