New Allied Planes

[hazed-]

you do realis of course that pyro or HT (one or the other) posted that there will be no future releases of aircraft until AH2's release in (hopefully) 3rd quarter this year.

I was sorry to see it too but as im expecting to love AH2 i dont mind sacrificing the odd aircraft to see the new graphics and DM etc.

Guess it comes down to whether you want new models or to see the old ones redone to a modern standard.

wellington or flying my 190A8 with a new look, new damage model,new career mode, etc etc??? ill take the latter

I believe everybody (or at least most of us) are aware of that and are simply posting what they'd like to see happen at that time, or in AH v2.01.

A-26B - Why isn't this in AH?
P-39 - Saw action all over the world, great for historic set ups
P-47M - Just because

I'd trade them all for a Ki-84 though.

The P-39 is by far the most important US Army AC fighter missing from the AH line up.  The fact that a few were sent to Russia is Gravey.

B-25J with the strafer nose

P-47M
AND
P-47N
AND
YAK9-UT
Cause all three were on the list of possible late war variants Pyro gave us to vote on back in October 2001 and none are here yet.

About half the P39's made went to Russia.

  And with only 10K or so made it is a small part of total US output, and with so many other countries lacking in Fighter types for various times in the war at present I should think it low on the priourity list, or that it should be low.

Or we could cut every plane in AH that had fewer than 10k produced.

LOL ... nono ... I agree, the Japanese planeset needs a couple so my F4U can fly in the CT and the Italian planeset just "plane" needs!

And if those get accomplished I'll resume my SPANISH CIVIL WAR PLANESET campaign! (pirate-ee voice) ARRRRRRRR!

I'm not positive, but I think that would be every aircraft in AH.

All of them.

If you add up all the sub types, Several excead that number by a factor of 2 or 3 or even more. Over 37,000 yaks were made, 20,000 La-5's-7's, 30,000 some odd 109's, 10,400 pluss Zero's.....

[BenDover]

i thought the 109 was the most produced air craft of the war??

[brady]

I think the Il-2 was.

Yes, but that is only if you add up the subtypes.

There were 22,000 Spitfires/Seafires built, but the most produced version (the Spitfire Mk Vb) only totaled about 6,000.  That is well shy of Arlo's 10,000 mark.


OK, yes, the Il-2 would probably still make it in.  The C-47A might as well.

Hey! I got my mark from Brady who was showing us how few P-39s were built!
