I'd love to see the FireFly. Britain was a huge naval carrier presence in the war yet all we have to show for it is the Seafire. The Yak 3 would be a fine addition too.

     I believe there are skins for Hellcats, Corsairs, Avengers and Wildcat/Martlets for the Fleet air arm.

fyi, the Ki-100 is "just a variant" of the Ki-61.  :p

However, you can add Beaufighter, Ki-45 and Me410 to your list.  If you want to include night fighters you can add the P-61, He219 and Ju88G-7 (yes, it is a Ju88, but it is so different from the Ju88A-4 that I'd count it as completely new).

If you want to be silly you can add the Gloster Meteor Mk III.

I'd love to see some more fighters like the A26, Me410, Redone A20 with 4x20mms, etc, etc.  ;) :D

A-26 is not a fighter.  A-20 is not a fighter.  Those are both bombers, so I can see why you would advocate them.

We got a new fighter last update, sure I would want another new one as well, but don't act like we aren't getting any.

Nope not bomber. Both are attack aircraft hence the "A" designation. If they were bombers they would have a "B" designation.

:rolleyes:

In AH terms they are bombers. In both terms they are intended to hit things on the ground.  Fighters are intended to hit things in the air, or things in the air and one the ground.

True but I meant the Brit airplane industry.

While briton was a large carrier power, I don't think she played a large role outside of the Sicily campaign, and Normandy, but I could be wrong. IIRC, it was the US carrier fleet that did the heavy lifting during the war, mostly in the PTO.

British carriers were used around the world.  The last dogfight of WWII was Seafire Mk IIIs against A6M5s near Tokyo bay.  Obviously the Royal Navy was tertiary to the US Navy and Imperial Japanese Navy in terms of carriers, but they were significant.

I can see the firefly, but while she was significant carrier power, I don't think she was a major particpant in most major battles. So the question is, does the historical value out-weigh the fact that the swordfish and Gladiator would probably be the two biggest hanger queens in the game?
