Hey-
              For the next update i have put togeather a list of aircraft which eventually will haft to be on AH so here they are im sure you all will  like  the numbers are on a scale from 1-10, 10 being a plane we need bad


Me-163-(Komet) - 10
MXY-7-(Ohka)- 10
Ju-87-(Stuka)- 10
MK-1-(Meteor)- 10
D-520- 8
DO-17-(Dornier)- 10
FW-200-(Condor)- 10
HE-111-(Heinkel)- 10
HE-177-(Heinkel)- 8
Ju-52-(Junkers)- 10
Mig-1- 9
Mig-3- 9
Pe-8-(Petlyakov)-10
B-29-(Superfortress)-7
F-8f-(Bearcat)- 20 <------ Needed badly
G3M-(Nell)-6

                 This is just my little list didnt want the whole ting on here ued be reading forever anyway these are the tops that i think we need especially the Me-163,MXY-7,Ju-87,Mk1  weed need this brittish plane because it would give us a chance at keeping up wit the 262,HE-177,F-8f, Pe-8. those are all planes i which i would love to see in Aces high mostly the first 2 they MXY-7 would be awsome to fly in and attack CVs as well there would have to be a mother ship but that would demonstrate how the war actaully was as well as having people use more teamwork.

Me-163-(Komet) - 10: Would be fun, but without effective bombers its not needed.
MXY-7-(Ohka)- 10: Absolutely useless without a G4M "Betty", and semi-pointless with one.
Ju-87-(Stuka)- 10: I agree that this is needed.
MK-1-(Meteor)- 10: 410mph top speed makes it useless as a perk plane and won't come in as a freebie.
D-520- 8: Would be nice.
DO-17-(Dornier)- 10: Would be nice, but not anything like a high priority.
FW-200-(Condor)- 10: Completely useless.
HE-111-(Heinkel)- 10: Nice, higher priority than the Do-17, but not nearly at the top of the list.
HE-177-(Heinkel)- 8: Would be a good addition.
Ju-52-(Junkers)- 10: Useless, but fine for scenarios.
Mig-1- 9: ???  Never heard of it.
Mig-3- 9: Would be fun.  Good for scenarios.
Pe-8-(Petlyakov)-10: Pe-2 would be more rebresetative, but the Pe-8 would be fun.
B-29-(Superfortress)-7: Good perk bomber.  Stupifying amount of work for HTC.
F-8f-(Bearcat)- 20 <------ Needed badly : Not a WWII fighter, has no place in AH, should never be added.  Why you think this is badly needed is utterly beyond me.
G3M-(Nell)-6: Why, of all Japanese aircraft, you choose this I'd be very interested to know.  Not much use in scenarios and no use in the MA.  Seems like a desire for an easy kill.
Petals floating by,
      Drift through my woman's hand,
             As she remembers me-

I am going to go with what Karnak said maddog and add this.

 The GErmans DO NOT nead any bomber from the early war perioud, they have the JU 88 and that was the best they had, any other bomber is redundant and a wast of time for them other than the He 177.( I do not consider the stuka a bomber btw)

 The Japanese curently have the best Bomber they could hope for, the Ki 67, Now the H8K is another mater it is a must for inclushion in AH imo.

F8F ?!! Hmm on the scale 1-10 I would give it a 0 that plane never saw combat in WW2 so I really dont see any reason why it is needed so baad?

Have to agree with karnak and brady on their points...

about F8F Use
« Reply #4 on: July 31, 2002, 09:16:43 AM »
Delivery of F8Fs to the Navy began in 1945 as advanced fighters intended for kamikaze defense and to to further counter the highly maneuverable Japanese "Zero". Streamline design features to minimize drag combined with a reduction in armament from six to four .50 caliber machine guns resulted in a faster aircraft with a better rate-of-climb yet able to sustain higher combat G-force loads than its F6F "Hellcat" predecessor. Two wing pylons each capable of carrying a 1,000 lb bomb (or a drop tank) also provided the F8F with an attack capability.

Although grounded for a short time due to oil and hydraulic leaks, the F8Fs were flown extensively in training missions until the atomic bomb ended all hopes of their going into combat with U.S. military forces. The immediate result was that the Navy reduced its production contract from 2,000 F8F-1s from Grumman and 1,800 from General Motors (designated F3M-1s) to 770 aircraft total. Production models included night fighters (F8F-1N) with a radome pod under one wing, and photo reconnaissance aircraft (F8F-2P). By the time the Korean War began in 1950, the F8F had been supplanted by the jet age.

During 1951, the United States sent a number of "Bearcats" to the French Expeditionary Air Force in Southeast Asia for use as ground support aircraft against the Viet Minh. With the withdrawal of the French from Indochina, the remaining F8Fs were turned over to the South Vietnamese Air Force and were still present in August 1960 when U.S. military advisers arrived in Vietnam.

Withdrawal of "Bearcats" from front-line units began in mid-1949, with the last F8F-2P going in late 1952. The "Bearcat" was the last propellor-driven aircraft used by Blue Angels. After its retirement from military duty, the "Bearcat" achieved its great popularity as a racer, winning several events as well a breaking the German World Speed record with a speed of 483 mph. For a fighter designed specifically to dominate the Japanese "Zero", it was an unusual, but respectable ending

i think that along side these wish-list plane sets(all i want is some more twin engine fighters and tank busters).
i think more specialised armement would be nice...

radar for some night fighters
grand slam bombs for the lancaster  22000lbs
bouncing bombs for the mosquitos, for use against ships.
guided anti-ship missiles for the ju88..
flame thrower tank option.
anti-personel/tank mines for all bombers..
mistel plane combo..

im sure people can come up with many more...:)

It never saw combat it was issued into combat right at the end of the war. Sure it was great but it was used in vietnam or korea cant remember which...

One test pilot did 2 1/2 barrel rolls around a P51 on take off and one feint which would of killed the P51 pilot if in combat....
