I fly almost exclusively in MW as a Bishop. I have been shot down by all the greats, AKAK, SHUFFLER, BLACK70, ADLER63, NORAD, COTTON, DEADPOET, XTIGER, I could go on and on. But I love it, it helps me learn more and starts me on polishing my skills, albeit I'm just a hunk of coal right now, I do hope to get better as time goes by. While I may never be a Diamond as this group is, I have lots of fun and more than my $15.00/month worth. :rock

That having been said, "farming perks" just sounds sleazy. Sounds like High School football teams playing Junior High School teams to get wins on their record. Just not right. :frown: The same goes with switching sides, I don't understand that. Of course to me part of the enjoyment is flying with a squad and accomplishing a goal as a team, as opposed to an individual. As a matter of fact I see no difference between changing  your name or changing sides, its 6 of one and half a dozen of the other. :old:

Now let the outrage begin........... :rofl

The P38 and 190a5 are a little too much for early war.

The early war planeset would be sweet if we could get the beaufighter, Mig3, yak1, I153, and D520 added but that's asking a lot out of the Aces High staff considering that the current population prefers planes that only flew for the last week of the war because they are fast and have cannons.
Three of the five aircraft you list carried at least one cannon.

I find it odd how American players obsess on the cannons.  It is like they assume that most aircraft in WWII just had machine guns because that is what most American aircraft had.

The fact is that there aren't that many pure machine gun fighters other than the US fighters, many of which are functionally prewar or had low production numbers.  A5M, CR.42, C.200, C.202, Hurricane Mk I, Hurricane Mk IIa and b, Spitfire Mk Ia, Spitfire Mk Va, Ki-27, Ki-43, Ki-44, Ki-61-I-Ko, Ki-61-I-Otsu, MiG-3, PZL P.24 and I-153.  A few, rare, others too.

I mentioned them because thier having cannon might make them more likely to win a vote for inclusion to the planeset.

There are plenty of other planes that can be added as you have also mentioned.

I would love the ki44 but I consider it mid-war.
