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

[Lusche]

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

We had one in the last update! 

[Rino]

did anyone do a comparison of the Beaufighter and Me410? hate to see another drag get added

     If you don't like the Beaufighter, don't fly it.  That way it will effect your game exactly like it does now, not at all.

Yak-3 and Beaufighter. Poor Hajo and Guppy have been waiting for the Beau for 10+ years

Should we really consider something a fighter when it is slower and less maneuverable than some contemporary multi-engined bombers?

The 410 handles like an overloaded Banglasdeshi ferry.

One of these would be nice:

Boomerang
G.55
Yak 3
IAR 81C

Upgrading the old models would be nice too.

You accidentally left off the Ki-43-II, Ki-44-II and J2M3/J2M5.

Was only stating my preference.  The Boomerang would only have a small cult following, but I would fly it.  The other three planes would get some decent use. 
Still not sold on the Ki-43.  It would turn like a frisbee, but the weak firepower and lack of speed give it less of a chance than an A6M2 or C.202.  The other Japaneesy planes would get used.

Guess the P-40C ain't a fighter as well then 

Nobody said "good fighter" or "supreme air superiority fighter". Just because some people are disappointed, it doesn't make it a bomber, and last time i checked it was still put under 'fighter' in the hangar

[Karnak]

Not that I disagree with you as my post was in jest, but which contemporary multi-engined bomber out performs the P-40C?

[Lusche]

B-38  

[Karnak]

B-38  

I don't think the B-38 is contemporary.  The earliest B-38 we have is the B-38G from 1943.  P-40C is really a 1940 or 1941 version.

[Lusche]

By the way, I took a look at the archives. The additions in the past 2 years:

4 fighters
4 bombers/attackers
4 vehicles


Time for a new ship I'd say...

In AH it's contemporary, both fly in EW arena

Ah.  I was thinking the Boston Mk III might out perform the P-40C.
