Karnak what about the Yak-3..

I'd like to see it, but I am not sure it was that major a player.

"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?

Me210 and Me410 were disappointments for the Luftwaffe and not many were built, less than 400 Me210s and about 1200 Me410s, per wikipedia.  In comparison, 5928 Beaufighters were built and it served in every theater and with many air forces from late 1940 through the end of the war.

The Me410 is a very nice looking aircraft and I'd like to see it added soon.  I voted for it after the Beaufighter was eliminated in the poll that got us the B-29, and I wasn't voting in a "Well, may as well click something." manner.

Bah.  Doesn't count.  All that is needed for that is some slight graphical work on the P-38G model and a flight model.  Doesn't come close to the addition of a new fighter, nor does it count in my historical context as several P-38s are already in game.

In other words we should already have the "H"? Especially because it wouldn't take much doing. I would like to see the 410 as well. I would really like to fly it.

Ki-43, at least two versions
P-40, fill out selection (true B, F and maybe the N).
Yak-3, and maybe a another Yak-9 variant
Beaufighter, two versions
Ki-61, redo and add another variant (maybe even Ki-100)
C.202 and C.205, redo and add C.200
B-26B, redo

Also, in no particular order....
Ki-44
Lagg-3 (for 1941 and early war scenarios)
Fiat G55
Pe-2
P-47, add D-10 and give D-11 paddle blade prop (D-11 would become D-10, and D-11 would get revised performance model and wing pylons)
J2M3
He-111 (would get limited use in LWMA, but useful in EWMA)
A-26A

That's enough to keep HTC busy for several years.....

Liking the list Widewing, but you left the gladiator off 

Or am I the only 1 who would love to see this bird ingame?

  ohhhhh and A-20 update, with 4 x 20 mm

We already have many late war speedsters that are heavily armed so, of the single engine fighter, I would probably want to see the yak 7b or a mig3 before the yak3.

Of the multi engine planes, the PE2 is a no brainer as are some german bombers.

The Yak-3 isn't remarkably "speedy", nor is it heavily armed. It's slower than the 9U and carries the same armament. It was, however, a very important fighter in the eastern front from mid 1944 on.

Very simply in that it served longer, and in more theaters of the war and in greater numbers.

[USAF2010]

ME-410 or Beaufighter..... preferably the 410, but either of those heavy hitters would be most excellent (dude).     

[Krusty]

The collective joy of the AH community would NEVER be topped in a million years if HTC released a "new plane" teaser of a Beau......




.... flying in formation with a 410!


But seriously, doesn't it make perfect sense to do both? They're clearly some of the more useful additions, more important, and more beloved by the community.



(not that I'm saying we don't need a Ki43, etc, just that these 2 in the same release would be astoundingly awesome)

[Tank-Ace]

For once I agree with Krusty completly and without reservations. +1 to the Me-410 AND its new target drone the Beau.

[B-17]

Me too. to Krusty... this time.

I saw that the Pe-2 is in FA, however... I want guns in the wheelwells of a B-17

[Blade]

But I want G55...

[AHTbolt]

After a long list of other need planes I would like to see the B-17F.
