We have E-3 schemes in the game on the E-4.

But we have no E3's.  That is the part that is a shame  :)

Yes, would be nice to have a true E-3. But I don't see HT making another 109E just to have a differant canopy. (See also P-51D-5)

Thats really cool Von Messa. How hard was to get the eyes to look right?

Trial and error, but it wasn't too painful (of what I recall from a year ago)   :D

You mean you want the rounded canopy? All E-3 variants were retrofitted with MG/FFm and were all 99.9% identical to E-4 versions almost immediately. There is no practical difference between the planes, save the aethetic appearance of the round canopy frame.

That was way too easy, even for a Wednesday...

I want every version of every German plane.  EVER.

I like simple pleasures, like butter in my arse, lollipops in my mouth.

That's just me. That's just something that I enjoy.

Well, I can understand that...

IMO, and in the general opinion of others from previous comments on these forums, you must strike a balance somewhere. Not every version was vital or even important. Er... not to.. uh... highjack this thread or anything... but... (too late!)  I would put the E-3 almost near the bottom of the list. One nearly-the-same minor variant I think would be "interesting" is the Bf109F-2 with lower speed and MG151/15. Or the Bf109E-7 or even the Fw190D-9 early model without MW50.

Where was I? Oh yes! I was agreeing with you, sort of  :D
