New Planes for 1.07?

[SpitLead]

Ok, now that 1.06 with the new planes is barely a month old I'd thought I'd start a new thread again on what airplanes we'd like to see in the next update.  Maybe we can influence HTC.

Some of these planes may be perk planes and I'll leave that to HT to figure out. Personally, I'd like to see the following:

B-29 Superfort (need another heavy bomber other than the Lanc)

IL-2 (gotta have another tank buster other than the CHog)or maybe the Stuka with the twin 37mm guns or P-39 with 37mm.
 
Spit XIV

ME262

Tiger Tank (need a new GV to spice things up) This may be a perk GV.

LST (GV for beach assualts on coastal bases)

[oboe]

I like all of these but I'd really like to see some Japanese a/c modelled.  How about the finest overall performing Japanese plane to see action, the Ki.84?  Or the J2M Raiden, Ki.61, or Ki.100?   Or a great groundpounder, the Ki.102?  Or the Judy, which gives the Japanese a nice CV-based attack a/c?   Or a tough level bomber, the Ki67 Peggy?

It just seems to me the Japanese are severely underrepresented in this sim.

I'd also like to see the SB2C Helldiver, the Mosquito, the Me-410 Hornet, and a perk U.S. fighter like the P-47M, the P-51H, the F4U-4, or the F8F Bearcat.

[Westy]

Yes! What oboe said.

I personally would like to see the J2Mx Raiden.

Yes indeed, more Japanese aircraft plz! Probably never see it but would sure like to have a Ki-43 Oscar.

BTW a Kate and Val would sure go a long way toward rounding the planeset out for events!

In no particular order, I would like to see any of these:-

Ju87 37mm version
Ju52
Me110
Me410
He177
Hurricane IIB/C/D
Beaufighter Mk21 (Aussie)
Mosquito (Bomber & Fighter/Attack)
A20 Havoc (French markings)
Pe3
Il2
MiG3
P63
B29
P39
Japanese buff/fighter
Italian buff
US tank
Float plane?

I understand that a Landing craft is being worked on.  I'm not all that au fait with Japanese and Italian aircraft but I agree that bombers from their countries are needed.

I would like to see a 109E4 and He111 but I don't see any need for them just yet mostly because there are plenty of 109s and the He111 wouldn't be too different from the Ju88 IMO.  I would dearly love to see the Mosquito or Beaufighter as they are both among my favourite planes.

PS  There's plenty more to choose, just some that I could think of at this time.

[Dingy]

Im with you Aztec  

More planes to round out early to midwar planeset so we could get some more historical missions!

Yep, more early-mid war planes please. The Finnish Air Force has been blatantly ignored, compared to other countries in AH.

Based on what could be gleaned from when HT came into the arena, the ONE we can be sure of for 1.07 is the LVT, apparently.

Other than that, we learned that 1.07 is mostly new planes, rather than major code changes.

And I think it's safe to say 1.07 is heavily Japanese-oriented.

[lazs]

In the current arena any new early war planes would be a wasted effort.

Top of the list,

P-40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After that, Stuka, Hurricane, and some Japanese army planes.  Val and Kate would be nice, too.

As for variants to existing planes, I'd like to see a Spit I and 109E.

[Thud]

For the Japanese: Ki-43 (though bad armament)
Ki-61 and bomber (Betty, Peggy or Emily)
And maybe a Raiden.

Il-2 and bomber for VVS.

LVT for all  

And the most important 1.07 addition of all, for VVS, RAF, RCAF, Belgians, Yugoslavs and Finns:

Bring the Hurricane (MKIIC) to AH! (together with the Invader!)

Not completely wasted.  *I'd* fly 'em.

WHat I find funny is if you troll thru peoples stats especially the top 100, it is amazing at how few aircraft they do fly.  For me my goal was to get a kill in each one "almost there", and if possible at least 5 in each one.  I find it more fun shooting down a fighter in a early model plane then flying a HP AC.  And if I am flying one of those beasts, you bet I am using AA.  I have shelved the D-9 just doesn't work for me, get frustrated at the 51 hits to light, george wont pull out of a 600mph dive   and the LA-7 doesn't carry enough ammo for me to loiter with.  The A-5 seems to be working as of late, I would like to see more twin engine planes myself.  Early war late war doesn't matter more twin engine planes.

Again, I would like to see them implement (for Main Arena gameplay) a single field next to HQ where the ME163 could be manned, and only manned at this field for HQ defense considering how easy it is for 1 Lanc to take out most of the radar.  HT, given this any more thought since the Con?  Here's to hoping!
