Up a C-47 with the Japanese skin.  :D

As for hole fillers:

Ki-44
Ki-45 (seriously, we have 110s taking its place in PTO scenarios/FSOs. :P)
Ki-100
J2M
D4Y
B6N

TBD
SB2C
F6F-3
F4F-3

Beaufighter
Swordfish

This guy has it right.

I want a Lisunov Li-2

I don't think the Meteor III/Me262 "match up" would work out in the Meteor's favour. I may be entirely wrong, but I view the Meteor III as analagous to a jet powered Tempest with more concentrated ordinance and a bigger turning circle.

There were only 400 Ki-100's built, so I'd put that one farther down the list.

But they were well used.

The problem, though, is that there weren't many Ki-100's, and they were appearing in 1945, where we have the Ki-84 and N1K, which are better planes.  It would be nice to have it, sure, but it would be nicer to have several other planes first from a scenario perspective.  I would rather have the J2M (600 made) than the Ki-100, but even that is not higher priority to me for scenarios than those others in the list.

For me it would look like:

Ki-45
Ki-61-I-ko (with the Hei gun pack as an option)
B6N
D4Y
J2M3
Ki-100
Ki-102

Everyone has their preferences. Thing is, so does everyone else. The fine art of building a larger support base involves compromise.  :D

Well, the image is based on the K-7, and while "they" say that the above image is a "fake", I happen to know the "truth".  ;)

Pershing!
No wings to build!
No flight profile to build!
Just a thought as I have all the planes I could ever want with the yak 3 and the M model jug

Select perk point available field mods would be awesome tho, and a cannon pony!

Redo the 110 series and expand it to include E and F models. That the 110 is still an AH1 model after what... 10 years? of AH2 is a travesty.

Gotta appreciate your PTO fixation (upping the Japanese set in power and flexibility while adding allied planes that balance more in the early/mid war should promote more PTO events from early to late time frames). However, I don't think everyone else will.

PTO is arguably still one of the most gappy plane sets right now, so it definitely needs some love.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

We need VMF-251 to be active again. From one Corsair pirate to another.  :salute :cheers:
