Planes needed in AH

Then I'd like to see a couple of new heavies put in.    I also think it's about time we considered some heavy Luftie bombers: the Grief and the Kondor.  Possibly perked, but quite low (especially if the Kondor's tendency to break in half when trying to evade is modelled!).  

 

come on taiaha....youll be giving us kiwis a rep for bad spelling... (I assume youre an ex-pat kiwi?)
1. thats Condor not Kondor
2. It was hardly a 'heavy' in that it was really a maritime reconnaissance bomber. but I do love the shape i admit.

The He 111 is a more sensible luftwobble buff I think

The grief carried about twice the load (medium distance) as the FW200.

I dont bomb, but this is what I'd like to shoot down.  

Val
Kate
Stuka
B24
B25H
B29
He-111
Do-17

The following is probably the best list yet:

Val
B-25
Migg3
PE2

See how it is far superior!!!

He he faminz.  Yep, ex pat me!  I'm not sure on the spelling, frankly, because I'm almost positive I've seen it in German as Kondor, but maybe someone whose actually German could comment!

In terms of being a heavy, yes, you're right that the internal bombload was relatively light (although later models increased internal capacity), but to make up for this it could carry quite a bit externally (included the radio controlled glider bombs).  So, Ok, it's not a B29, but by Luftie standards, not too bad (and heavy in armament, certainly).

Great news about the Spit IX skin, mate, I hadn't realized whose it was.

My personal feeling is that there are enough Euro Theater aircraft and I'd like to see the Pac Theater fleshed out.  And thus, my wish-list includes:

F4F-3
A6M2 and/or A6M3
SBD Dauntless
Val
Kate
P40

As for modifying present aircraft in the game to a new variant, I'd want to see:
F6F-3 in 3-tone paint scheme, preferably with that big mean mouth scowling on the cowling.
Any P-38 in olive drab.

Wonder what Pyro and Hitechs list looks like?

[Vector]

German
Me 190G-10 (there are many threads discussing whether K4 performed much better or not.)
Fw190D-9

British
Hurricane IID
Spitfire IX / XIV

American
F4U-4
P-38L
P-47D-30
P-51D

Japanese
A6M5b (not sure whether this is the best variant or not)
N1K2-J

Russian
LA-5FN
LA-7
YAK-9U

Sure there are zillions of different models to add, but if we focus on what we have now, we can see that all major fighter models mentioned above are generally the latest or best permorming variants (excluding spit?). Except the P-47, the most produced american fighter of WWII. Why is that? P-47 deserves to have best performing model too, IMO.

Candidate:
P-47D-23
Best performing of all D-series. Paddle blade propeller and good payload. This could/should be the best dogfighter of all P-47 -series. Would be nice addition.


Another alternative could be P-47M. The HotRod version which has excellent speed and good climb. Only 130 were built though.

Just my thoughts.
