My golden wishlist:

He-111
Ju-88 Heavy Fighter Variant
Me-210/410
He-219
Ju-87G
Bf110 (Remodeled and with more gun packages)
Arado 115 (At least one German plane for CVs please)
Gloster Meteor
Mustang I

skorpion,
What does the P-47D-22 bring to the table?
another midwar plane, and another jug to play with. :D

Your bias is showing.  Also,  no German aircraft operated from carriers in WWII, thus none will in AH.  The three carrier operators were the United States of America, the Empire of Japan and the United Kingdom.

Would it be midwar?

Also, what does it add that is different from the P-47D-11 or P-47D-25?

faster than a D11, carries more ords (same as D25) and is a bit tougher than both.

When did it enter service and what makes it tougher?

Jeez Karnak, it's a wishlist, you don't have to one-up everyone. I like German Iron. Give me a break.

all razorback jugs were tougher than the bubble canopy jugs, they were just more resistant to damage. it entered service around late 1943 i believe.

titanic3,

Well, you picked some real lousy German aircraft.  A couple nice ones too, but largely lousy ones.


skorpion,

You mentioned it would be tougher than the P-47D-11 as well.  Was that unintentional?

As I understood it the P-47D-11 entered service in Nov. or Dec. of 1943, barely making it a midwar aircraft.

Like I said...it's a WISH. You don't have to go all out on MY wish. We both know the chances of some of these planes making it into the game are slim, but again...it's a WISH.

Yup, just wondering why you're wishing for some very crappy German aircraft.  I don't mean He111 crappy, as it had its day.  I mean Ar15/He219 crappy, never had their day.

people say that the TBM is crappy in game. but thats because most people dont know how to use it effectivly then get killed in it. im sure the He219/Ar15(isnt that a gun?) would be great planes if they were used correctly.

I am not talking about planes that are crappy, or might be, in the game.  I am talking about planes that were crappy in reality.

It is one thing to favor a nation's units, maybe you like the history, maybe the aesthetics appeal to you (you have to agree, the Germans had some great looking stuff) or maybe something else.  It is another thing entirely to have such little consideration as to wish for historically insignificant and crappy aircraft for your favored side over more worthy things from other sides.

It is pretty obvious that I like British and Japanese aircraft, but you will never see me advocating for the Fairey Battle over something like a Ju88G or Yak-3.  Frankly, you'll never find me advocating for something like the Fairey Battle at all as it would be a waste of dev resources.  The B5N2 will stand in for it just fine.

the only "good looking" german aircraft was the ones in the ground on fire or the ones that that are on fire in the sky full of bullet holes. on the other hand, the tiger 2 was the second best looking tank in WW2  :banana:

Which was the best looking in your opinion?

I like the Tiger II and T-34/85.
