Perhaps the latest announced aircraft have excited you, perhaps not, but it appears that there may be something going on here that has, to this point anyway, gone unnoticed- it looks like the planeset is beginning to move backward a bit.

Think about it. Ki-61. P-47 Razorback. P-51B. C202. Me109-F. Spitfire Vb. F6F. Ju88A4. Fw190A5. Though by no means a comprehensive list of early/mid-war aircraft, it would seem there is the possibility of a backwards progression in rides. If I am right, we should soon see a variant of the Zeke (A6m3), a Hurricane, maybe a P-40....

hmmmmmm. Anyone want to add to the list?

Hope you're right, want a 109 E or T and a 190 A4

LOL...I remember that one! :)

Back to topic:
I'm still hoping for a few more IJN aircraft. I always had a blast flying the Val. Yeah, it gets shot down a lot....but it sure is FUN to fly. It's also a great training tool for newbies too. It slows down the fight and helps them learn some basic ACM skills.

My sig of When is more than asking HTC when a P-40 will be introduced.

I am still anxiously following the possibilty of the aircraft in my sig being raised from a lake in China, brought to the US to be restored, and then going on a World Tour.
