I'll make mine easy. Don't wanna pressure em too much seeing as they are making a new game and all  . I would like to see a 190. Any flavor will do but I am a little partial to an A4. All those other types of planes you guys mention are just meat for the beast  .

How about a P-51D that doesn't wallow like a loaded JU when it gets above 25k...That would be really nice

I think there should be at least 3 or 4 "Main Arenas" going at same time so people who hate early war and people who hate jets will be a bit happier I doubt it though    so I will give my choices for each one.

Early WW2 Arena
A-20
D.520
FW200 Condor
PBY Catalina

Mid WW2 Arena
B-24
B-25
A-26
yea I like bombing    

Late WW2 and beyond
B-29
Me-262(bomber and fighter versions)
Do335 Pfeil
Me163 Komet
Gloster Meteor
B-36
and that German Jet Bomber that is in WW2 Fighters by Jane's I just cant remember what it is right now    I have lots more but Korea is still a bit farther away.

Why is it whenever we see this thread there is an outcry from the LW types for the Ta152?
How about concentrating on the early war and on types that saw more service. I also disagree with all the folks crying out for the F8F and F7F. They didn't see combat and the case is better made for the Ta152 than either of those. Let's keep this a WW2 sim, not a what if game.

As to my plane of choice. I agree with Nopoop, just gimme a P47 with correct FM and the 8x.50s. We all know that the Jug was the real workhorse of the 8th AF and the plane that brought the fight to the LW. If a Ta152 does appear then I will be forced to howl long and loud for a P47M and P47N both of which undoubtedly saw more service.

Sky61: That's the Arado Blitz.

If we ever get to see that though I d like to have its historical limitations implemented as well. The rear view must ve been terrible: They had a periscope (!) fitted to this thing to check 6. Repordetly this didn t work too well.
Dang I just missed the 100th post by a hair...

I really hope HT and Pyro are still reading this huge thread.

Guys we REALLY need a Jug done right.  I mean no disrespect to past work, but the P47 of WB is NOT the plane Johnson describes in Thunderbolt.  It bleeds E far too quickly and has a horrible roll rate. Those barn door ailerons could get that plane rolling!  

This is anecdotal but, look at how fearless Johnson and the rest of his group were in the Jug.  They were absolutely confident in that plane.  In WB you have to be in the right place at the right speed, or else you're going to get eaten alive.

I tend to fly British Empire planes, so my plane wishlist is generally filled.  One glaring error in Warbirds, though, has to be the exclusion of the Lancaster.  Though I don't often fly bombers, I can't imagine what kind of buff jockey would pass up the opportunity to fly the beautiful Lancaster with it's unbeatable payload.  I would very much like to see this plane included in Aces High.

Additionaly, I would like support the idea of the development of early to mid-war types, as opposed to the late war monsters.  The late war planes become less and less representative of the WW2 air-combat experience and tend to inhibit the use of the earlier types.

PS- A mark III mustang with RAF or RCAF markings would always be welcome.
