+1, not having it included because another aircraft doesn't have a variant is lame reasoning.

Its been a while since HTC added a new variant to an updated shape, IIRC the Yak-7 and 3 and the Sea Hurricane were the last. There was a big gap while AH3 was developed but since then we could have had a Ki-100 as well as the Bf-110F and the F4F-3 (assuming that's not going to be an F4F-4 hangar option). I don't think it has anything to do with numbers deployed either since we do already have the limited-use Ta-152, Me-163 and Wirblewind. The Ki-100 would have needed a little extra art and model work than the other two but way less work than a new ride.

Not sure why this is, perhaps the number of rides in the MA is becoming a resource/FPS hog and HTC are wary of adding too many more?

The -3 was faster by about 20 mph

I'm skeptical about that.

Wouldn't the number of planes/skin variants in the air at any one time determine that?  Already impossible to have every plane and skin we have in the air simultaneously.  Why would having more variants/skins in the hangar change that?  Not being a smartass (for once), honest question.

I don't know how more rides would be a resource problem in-game, was just throwing the idea out there. It does of course increase the game's download size, but probably not by much relative to the whole game.

A new plane introduced a few times a year breathes a little life into the game.  Hopefully that practice resumes - and soon.

The FM2 was built by General Motors not Goodyear.

I feel that it will, once all of the AH-1 / early AH-2 models are updated to the current standard
