Or how about the...

Gloster Gladiator

Learn to use head-ons against bombers, cause you can't catch them.

Learn to kill enemy aircraft with 4 .303 Brownings.

Become the master of turn fighting, because you can't do anything else.

We already have this- it's called the c202.  

[Hristo]

Sorry Karnak, bot NO. 109E was there before and in greater numbers.

Only after Emil you can have the Hurricane. And it is a dweeb ride.

Damn opportunists  

[SpyHawk]

Actually I am very surprised we don't have a Battle of Brittain plane set. VERY surprised.

Needed:
Hurricane MkI (and MkII? Maybe the cannon varient used in Afrika, just for fun)
Spitfire MkI
Bf109E
Bf110
He111 (crap, but historically necessary)

Oh, and once we get those it would make sense to add the Dewo and Potez I have been axing for to do a Battle for France scenario  

(I would prefer Fokker's for Norway and Holland use, but Frenchy planes would be more popular I suspect.)

[RAM]

Spy for what do you want those planes?

no use in MA, no RPS and, over all, no TIME to model them all in the short order.

Dont expect many early war planes modelled in AH, as HTC made clear that they will focus in latewar planeset...and with the perk planes coming, they will focus in some after war planeset too  

At least that it seems  

[ra]

I think the D.520 was pretty rare in the Battle of France.  MS 406 and Curtiss Hawk are probably more historically relevant.

Not so rare...but anyway D520 was way more used than the other french fighters because they saw service in France, Vichy France, Italian, and German hands. In 1944 some German training JGs saw some combat in D520s...

Try to find where did Blochs go after 1940

Yeah, such is the pain of a late war-only planeset  

Missing so much of an epoch conflict.

Still, scenario's were a big part of what kept me in AW for so many years. God knows the FM sucked. Oh, and the price was very attractive (I will never pay-by-the-hour).

But I digress: When we get to the point of having a roughly complete sim, scenarios will become more and more important. And you can only fly so many campaigns in 1944-45...know whut uh mean Vern?

[Karnak]

LOL.  Hristo got it.  

Of course any 1940 plane would be meat on the table to the monsters we've got.  Imagine going at a P-47 or B-17 with 8 .303s.

[-ammo-]

actually I can think of one RAF AC that would fit in quite nicely-- Hawker Tempest


 

[Torquila]

How about the Hurri's with 10+ .303s  


Torquila-first person to kill a b17 with a c.202  

[Karnak]

Why bother with the Tempest?  Just fly an F4U-1C.  It'd be the same, e.g. a BnZ cannon bird.
