It'a almost inexcusable to not have the KI-43. That's like having no P-40b.

Can't even run a proper AVG setup.

-1. I bet that even most of the people asking for it will ignore it for the most part after the new wears off.


Most of its use will be in small CV fights where the defenders go "hey, A6M. I'll up my oscar".

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

I won't, I only fly in the AvA or SEA, it would be used a hell of a lot in these arenas.

Also in the player hosted arenas for historical setups there.

As would I.  It would out turn everything in AH save possibly the D3A and B5N, while having much higher performance and ~5 times the forward firepower of the D3A and infinitely more than the B5N.

My Ki-84 will be shot down by his Ki-43 like his Brewster! :D

BTW I would fly the Ki-44 Shoki with fowler flaps too... ;)

As much as I'd like a Soviet bomber its hard to argue the KI-43 is NOT the next most deserving.

As for the B-239 it wasnt just the Fin crowd calling for it. The plane has a unique place in history in a unique theater of air war. Many Yanks and Brits and others wanted it too.

From a historical stand point it is one of the seven most important aircraft still missing from AH.  I am sorry, but I can't agree with your assessment unless you are arguing from a "What will be used in the MA" point of view.

Beafighter
He111
Ki-43

Nope.  Me410 is insignificant, historically, compared to those.  I would like to see it added, but historically it was a bit player.

What are you talking about? Technologically it was not insignificant. It was an attempt to provide a decent heavy fighter for LW to replace aging 110, but as it happened it was again too little and too late to make much difference. Of course it failed to make any difference "historically", not many German planes could at that point, not even ME262 could which was technologically quite significant, like Komet, or Ta152.

I wonder how Beaufighter is more significant historically than ME410?
