Many Yanks fly German, Japanese, Brit....ect And visa-versa. Flying aircraft of other nations exclusively, or almost so, is always an interesting part of the game.

I would now rate the Soviet Air Force able to compete against anyone. Most of all in Tactical operations.

Beautiful work.

On planes the size of the B-26, the navigator/bombardier/nose gunner roles are usually filled by 1 person.  Even on the B-17, either the navigator or bombardier manned the nose turret and cheek guns.

Good to know for my future photo-bombing posts...

these are all cool but i think we have enough variance for fighter and bomber planes , i really like to see something new added to game like submarines or more cargo planes or artillery or fire control position for carrier and cruiser etc...

For special events, it would be very nice still to have these planes:

Yak 1 (One of the main Soviet fighters for Eastern Front early-mid war, 8720 produced)
D4Y (Most-produced Japanese dive bomber, taking over for early-war D3A, 2038 produced)
B6N (Most-produced Japanese torpedo bomber, taking over for the early-war B5N, 1268 produced)
Pe-2 (Most-produced Soviet attack plane other than Il-2, 11,427 produced)
TBD (not as highly produced as TBM, but important for Battle of Coral Sea, one of the major carrier battles of WWII)
Beaufighter (used in numerous theaters, for anti-shipping and ground attack, 5928 produced)

Also, would be nice to have torpedoes on the B-26 for Midway.

Vickers Wellington (primary early war RAF bomber, actually interceptable by early war Axis fighters, 11,461 built)

No Hula-Hoop Wellingtons needed until ocean mines are modeled.  :D

Barnes-Wallis's Wellington certainly deserves a place in Aces High.

I am curious to whether the new B-26 will be able to withstand as much punishment as our current version.  I wouldn't think so, but... :headscratch:
