Its been well documented the Japanese had a near impossible time shooting down american bombers during the war, in fact they had very few aircraft that could in fact bring down a B-17 until late midwar, by then the B-29 was operational which created even more of a problem since it flew high and fast.

If I recall, they had numerous design ideas, however I don't think the Japanese ever really had a solution until the war was lost.
B-29's flew high & fast early however they hit near nothing while bombing.

Lemay forced them low when he took over & the Japanese started getting more success in bringing them down.
The Japanese ran out of everything planes pilots fuel ammo so they never did find a solution.

Stinky bait.  :p

109T flew missions, scored kills, had a larger wing and a different loadout from all the other 109s.

It was the only "short field" 109 and was used as such by JG11 and JG77 because it was the only high performance fighter that could take off from the tiny runways.

Sure, they didn't make many but it's a very different 109 with very different performance that is confirmed to have flown missions and scored more kills than some planes that exist in the game currently.

109 T would be a nice option the ju87 for cv too.

for the tanks i would prefer the
cromwell tank first, it is realy fast (60km/h) and do have a nice gun. its a nice over all combination, i would say it mus be alidel better as the PIV


of cours the peshing would be cool too

but first we need the he 111 vi rocket louncher hehe.

once again, you are all pansies. P47D22 is the next new A/C.

We don't need no stinking Jugs, We have enough of them. I like them, but come on...? really, another one? -2  :huh

Well in game it would only go 32mph, not 60km/h - It had a governed engine due to the suspension system, otherwise the tank would tear itself apart.
There is a variety of Cromwell tanks to be added, which would be a pretty nice edition -

Cromwell I with a 75 mm ROQF Mk V gun (think of the Sherman 75)
Cromwell VI with a 95mm Howitzer would be nice for town killing or bases, however useless against tanks.

Cromwell VII had over 100mm of armor but didn't see much combat so its out of the question.

The Challanger was a Cromwell chassis built with a 17lb Gun, however I think the numbers were under 200 built total? It was to rival the Firefly to see which was easier to build or something to that nature.

Overall, it wouldn't fair much against the Sherman 76 or T34, but another stop gap in GV's we could use, and would probably get good use rather then the Panzer 4.

lets see, we have the spit1,5,8,9,14,16. we have the 109e,f,g2,g6,g14,k4 we have the p47d11,d25,d40,M,N. why cant we have a 6th like the 109 or spit? hmm? people complain we have too many jugs but they dont realize we have less jugs than the 109 and spit. so, more jugs.

P-47 didn't serve from 1939 to 1945.  We actually have a higher density of P-47 models than of Bf109 or Spitfire models.  In the time period represented by the P-47D-11, P-47D-25, P-47D-40, P-47M and P-47N the Bf109s are represented by the Bf109G-6, Bf109G-14 and Bf109K-4 while the Spitfires are represented by the Spitfire Mk VIII, Spitfire Mk XIV and Spitfire Mk XVI. Five P-47s against three each for the Bf109 and Spitfire.  Also, the differences between those Spits and 109s are significantly larger than the differences between the P-47D-22 and the P-47D-11 and P-47D-25.

We certainly don't need more spitfires or Jugs, or 109s for that matter unless someone wants to add versions of the 109 for high alt.

Bf109G-6/AS or Bf109G-14/AS would be great.

Only Spitfire line addition that I think is really significant would be a Seafire L.Mk III.

The only jug I think of is the C-model that would fit in good in scenarios.

A Weight-fixed FW190a8 and the FW-190a9 as well as the 190a2 come on top of my list
ki43 is the most fun 2vs2 plan you can find.
Clipped spit5Vb is almost a must vs the 109F (and that one with gondolas too)

Fix so the darned 4-engine bombers have to stay slower if they dont want to lose their drones.
Currently you can hardly overtake a b17 @ 20k in a 110g2

and the stug3 for the tankers out there

stug 3 ftw! :rock


as for the P46C you want, it would be best to take the P47C6. it would be another midwar plane that we could use.
