I Predict the Next Plane HTC Brings Forth Will Be...

Although I can't quite reach Bustr's level of bitter cynicism, I do slightly agree that with hardly any late war BnZ monsters left to include, anything lesser is going to be gobbled up by the Dicta Boelcke masses, but maybe that's the point, those die hard fans of specific and arguably less competitive aircraft are needed, otherwise you'd only end up fighting five or six aircraft in the MA (for example).

That's the reason I support the Westland Whirlwind, it's (relatively) slow, climbs poorly, and has a small clip, but I think I could have a lot of fun with a tiny twin engine fighter with that huge Fowler and that gun package, for at least several minutes before 8000 50 cals show up from several directions simultaneously.   

Plus we made the best Wishlist thread in the history of Wishlist threads:-

My guess is we will see a foreign bird, not US. Likely something Russian or maybe that French D.520. I suppose another Japanese fighter would make sense.

I have been absent for more than a year due to work, lots of bad luck, and other personal issues...but I hope to return soon and I agree with you. I think the Russian Plane set needs a Bomber such as the PE-2 or TU-2 and I would not mind seeing the D.520...although I still vote for the Beaufighter to be added to the Plane set. I took out a book from the Library and while I cannot find it right this second, there is an AMAZING picture of a flight of Beaufighters just beating the living hell out of a German Convoy in the English Channel.

Whatever was on the last official poll by HTC will be the next we see in game, Yak 3, Beaufighter were two of them?

Yeah Baby!

[zack1234]

Yak3 would be excellent a people plane

[nrshida]

pffft, it's only got one engine 

[Babalonian]

It just dawned on me, of all the planes, the one that needs-a-fix is the Ar234.  I'll put $5 on consistency.

You are all wrong!  It will be the Soul Plane!

Never saw combat in squadron strength .

While I really want to see the He-111, I think the "next plane" will be a remodel of the Lancaster and/or the B-26.   If the He-111 is added though, for one tour (full tour; not the rest of when ever it's introduced), the ONLY thing I will fly will be it.   Though that might not mean a lot since I don't get to fly as often as I wish.

I think it's high time we had a new fighter

I think it's high time we had a new fighter 

or a 4 20mm variant of the KI84

Next plane will be the B25J. It's the most needed aircraft and would also fill the biggest gap.

That gap being the left and right stabilizers with 2 50 Cals.
