What do we "need"?

[Rich46yo]

Forget what you "want" for a moment. What aircraft do you think we "need" for an all inclusive WW2 flight game? Theres a difference.

Another way to ask is "what aircraft Dont we have that had the most impact on the war. I cant even answer this myself yet cause I have to think about it and maybe look up some statistics. Answering what you want is a lot easier.

Considering (combat) aircraft that aren't redundant with the units already in game, I'd say Petlyakov Pe-2, Yakovlev Yak-1-series, Bristol Beaufighter, Yokosuka D4Y and Mitsubishi Ki-21.

Beaufighter.  It's the most notable example of a plane that saw service from 40 until the end of the war that is not yet in game.

for an all inclusive ww2 flight game the answer is all.  however if you want airplanes that will be used once in a while in scenarios, just see above and below.  plenty will be suggested.

Beaufighter for sure, A26, Yak-3, meteor, Sb2C, D4/B6, tu-2, gladiator, fw200

Warning, I inserted some player want, as well (the true art of compromise):

Pe-2, TU-2, DO 217, J2M Raiden, Yak 3, Beaufighter, Boomerang, Whirlwind, Firefly......Still lots of cool planes out there for development!

Some gov project to donate awesome supercomputers to HiTech that can do some real magic, including compensating for internet hiccups (and all the support equipment to go with them plus a generous donation for increased power usage without raising our rates)

still wouldn't fix the internet hiccups caused by our isp or fix any of the problems along the 3000 miles of cable between you and htc. but it would keep their servers running well, at least to the first switch owned by their isp.

While I'd rather have the TU-2 the PE-2 probably fits the bill more. The Beaufighter would rate highly too.

Of course the HE-111 and KI-43 and Betty filled a huge gap.

[tuton25]

I think the next update should be:
KI-61
KI-100
Beaufighter
A-26c

[HighTone]

I think the next update should be:
KI-61
KI-100
Beaufighter
A-26c

+1 on that if you leave off the A26

Being the only allied serving jet fighter, I think the Meteor is a must... however, would love to see the Fairey Swordfish   And yes, lots of other missing aircraft besides.
