T-34/76, along with the Ki-84-Ia and the B-24J, was added as a 2.0 level model in Aces High v2.00.  All three of those are definitely showing their age though.

The LVTs were both upgraded without fanfare some time ago.  The prerelease screenshots of them were only shown on HTC's facebook page as I recall.

You know, the original post wasn't phrased very well. And HTC should certainly NOT stop filling gaps in the historical plane set.

 That said, I think there is small amount of truth to the idea that adding exciting very late war and even "What-if'ish" planes to MA could have positive results as far as attracting customers goes. That's just the nature of the market. And having more planes to spend perks on would be good. So if HTC finds the time to model the P-51H, F8F, F7F, P-80, Meteor, Sea Fury, He-162, Ta-183, etc, bring 'em on I say. Maybe even put in a special "1946" arena for them.

The only "what if" plane I can see adding would be the Meteor III.  Anything else and it gets real wierd real fast.

Bring on the Luftwaffe freak fliers!  I would love to see some of the what if concept stuff modeled in here.

It's a WWII game.  I'd much rather they fill in everything that flew in WWII here and made another game that was post WWII with the stuff that never saw combat.

The 162 wasn't a "what if" plane, it saw combat at the very end of the war, scored a few kills, and a few were shot down by mostly British fighters on take off and landing. By our standards, the 162 could be added just like any other plane, except with a hard coded fuel burn like the 163 due to only 20 min or so of fuel irl.
  EDIT: The P51H, if I remember correctly, was ready for combat in the ETO before the end of the war in enough numbers to be added, and it has been on a poll here before.

I could swear the T-34/76 was also updated after that, like 2-3 years ago... Can't verify it though, as my system went down the crapper.

Nope.  Only change it has had is to remove access to its interior.  T-34/85 replaced its turret, but that had no effect on the T-34/76 model.

That said, the T-34/76 has aged far better than the Ki-84 and B-24 have.

Well, if it was still the AHI version then I was planning on putting in a request for changes to the turret and to lose the 40 gallon external tanks. I don't know why they chose the Mickey Mouse D model over the E, but I think I would have gone with the E and the smoother turret with the cupola. It's alright the way it is, but it's certainly not an early war version.

Adding a 45mm version would be great, too, but only if it was accompanied with the Panzer Mk.III w/ 37mm and 50mm both.
