Except in the case of Aces High and Pappy Boyington air-to-ground is not a kill.  :devil

Any plane from the 2011 poll or this one would be nice, except for the Meteor.  We don't need any more perked monster planes.

Hey Shuff, not sure where that comes from, there's information out there about the Meteor's WWII service, small though it was.  Used by No.616 Squadron, they were employed chasing  down V1s over Britain in summer 1944.   Ended up knocking down 14.   

In January 1945, 4 Meteors moved to Melsbroek AB in Belgium and by March the entire squadron moved to Gilze-Rijen in Holland, and on 13 April moved again to Nijmegen. Finally, on 17 April the Meteor entered combat over Europe, carrying out a ground attack mission near Ijmuiden. For the rest of the war the squadron flew a mix of ground attack and armed reconnaissance missions.  They were credited with 46 air to ground kills.

<S>

They never crossed the channel to fight.

Of course we have a high alt 190 that only 10 were made before the end of the war.

Both Belgium are Holland are across the Channel.   You may be thinking of the directive that would not allow them to cross into Germany to fight?

Fw190A9 had kills, made in big numbers, and the A8 can be reused, and on-top of that the F9 will be a spinoff extra.

On the list J2m and the Ki100 would get my vote.
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

The 8th AF in the ETO was unique among the various US AF groups that officially counted ground kills as part of the pilots kill tally due to the hazardous nature of the activity.  It was only post-war were the records cleaned of ground kills for 8th AF pilots.

errr  yes we do to combat the fact that the Narzzies have one so must we!   

Plus it's not a monster really just more perks for your c202 when they start turning with you because it isn't as fast as a 262.

No Ki-100?

There are a few heavily produced planes they should implement without any need for a poll:
SB2C Helldiver: most produced dive bomber and would be useful in MA.
Yak 1: not crucial with all the yaks already in game.
Halifax: widely produced, inferior to the Lanc though, could be useful to some.
IL-4: Havemyr needs another medium bomber, I would be able to shoot this one down easily.

In the Wishlist i asked for input on variants of existing planes where the airframe/wings could be reused to get the new planes in faster.

Totally unofficial, just for the fun of it I made a poll on the what you'd like to see developed as AH III's next new aircraft choice.  I'm sure it's biased toward planes I like but I tried to be inclusive of mostly new models and/or plane set hole fillers.   I think it includes the top vote getters from the last official poll (Yak-3 won that, didn't it?)

Please give it a try here:

Feedback and construction criticism welcome.   I tried to make it purdy.   I set it so you can see the results after you vote.

I don't think I can update it - I closed the poll already.   I'm guessing you be one more vote for the P-63, right Vinkman?

I need to find poll software that can allow multiple columns, of choices, then I can really include all the planes that should be included.  And a ranked vote (like vote for your top 3) would be nice too.   EasyPoll was nice but a little too basic.
