Did I meantion that I vote for the 109G14 A/S?

[Shifty]

P-47D-23 and FW-190A2. I know you said one but I'm torn. 

[Tank-Ace]

190F-8/U1 (500lb bomb on the centerline, and 2 500lbers under each wing).
109G-5
Ju-88P-1 through P-3 (various weapon load outs ranging from 37mm BK cannons to a 75mm BK 7)
Ju-87G1
190A-8 with weight of armor removed, or the actual armor protection added
Jagdpanther

No it doesn't.  Volron had already voted.

Vote early & often I guess is not relevant here?

Oops political. 

[Beefcake]

I would want the B25J glass nose. Having tail guns in my B25 would be nice! 

[RTHolmes]

Seafire LF Mk.III

[Guppy35]

Seafire LF Mk.III

That would be a nice addition.

[RTHolmes]

... and it certainly wouldnt be a hangar queen ...

Mossie Tse-Tse.       25 rounds of 57mm please.

Special note to Arlo: In the case of a variant of an existing model, artwork is what counts as the flight model would need to be either largely or completely redone on many of these.  While a Shokaku class CV along with a Takao class cruiser and four Akizuki class destroyers would be an awesome addition to AH and I'd love to see them added, they don't fall under the variant clause as they would require 100% new artwork.

[Arlo]

Special note to Karnak. I didn't request another cruiser or destroyer. They may suffice. The CV would require shape modeling and a skin, perhaps armament coding. It's as doable as taking an existing shape of a modeled aircraft and coding in all the new flight and handling characteristics. I wouldn't be surprised if would be easier, aamof. You said a variant of an existing unit. This actually fills the parameters of that. If you don't want to include this suggestion or take it seriously then ... *ShruG* ... I see it as tunnel-vision.

Well, by that definition one could ask for, say, a Ki-45 and claim it is just a variant of an existing unit, that existing unit being any twin engined fighter, or if you wanted to be more specific the Bf110C-4b.  If you loosen definitions too much they cease to mean anything and thus cease to be useful.

"Pick one variant of a unit that is in AH that you would like to see added.  The variant must be compliant with known rules of addition so no prototypes like the YB-40 and no post war variants like the F4U-5 and Sea Fury.  Please do your best to limit it to one pick, or a discussion of others picks."

The addition is useful and within the scope of what you originally proposed (whether you decided to change that because you didn't think it may involve something other than a specific existing aircraft shape or not).

[Karnak]

The Shokaku is not a variant of the Essex.

[Arlo]

The Shokaku is not a variant of the Essex.

But it is a variant of the CV (a unit that in all but the shape and skin is somewhat generic, in nature). You know, as well as I, that the CV is not modeled to be a detailed example of the Essex. It's a passable model of the Essex. Change the shape and skin and it's a passable model of the Shokaku. You keep mentioning art (for the most part). This matches a request to change the 'art' more than any other request in the thread. It's an easier request than the Ki-100 (in my opinion, not being a coder of the game).
