PLANES U WOULD LIKE TO C IN AHII

[Jack55]

It's a kind of a crap plane in Il-2, but I like the look of her.  Bring the MiG-3 to AH rev.2.

I don't think so.

And a Ju52, pls

We really don't have night, it's more of a faux night in AH and a night fighter would be just as useless as a normal fighter if night will be modeled the same in AH2 as it is in AH.  Another potential stumbling block would be the airborne radar that would have to be created for the night fighters.

then get ride of radar on the map at nighty it never helps anyway a green dot on the map just blends in with the tile and same with a red but what you can do is you put airborn radar on a 110 make the green and red dots brighter so you can see them and that is how night radar would work

According to Encyclopedia of the World's Combat Aircraft, by Bill Gunston, the VK-107 engined version was too late to see combat in WWII.  

They Luftwaffe did indeed receive a directive to avoid combat below 5000 meters with Yakovlev fighters lacking an oil cooler under the nose.  

So far as I can tell from all the pictures I've seen of Yak-3 fighters, NONE of them had an oil cooler under the nose.

In Fighter Ace, the Yak-3 is described as being "...probably the most agile monoplane fighter of WWII."

In any event, it still doesn't rule.  Maybe it would, if someone formed a squadron and fought properly with it.  But since there are machines faster than it is, that is about the only way I see it happening.

Although, I had good luck with it against some guys flying P-51D Mustangs.  

I do love that picture you posted though.

The Yak-3 had one purpose in mind when it was built and that was to beat the FW190D-9 and something it did quite well since below 16,000ft it was faster and more maneuverable than the Dora.

  I want it!  
It'd be sooooooo easy for HTC to make.

Only the F6F-5N carried a mix of .50 cals and 20mm cannons.  It was also capable of carrying 1,000 pounds worth of bombs and 6 5 inch rockets.

417 squadron SpitVIII, desert camo, clipped wings, merlin 66 .

[Sikboy]

someone might have already mentioned them:

B6N Tenzan "Jill"
D4Y Suisei "Judy"

It's Frustrating trying to fly the D3A1 and B5N2 from 1943-1945.

I think another cool game element which could be added would be the ability to pick up downed piolts with the Sikorsky R-4, R-5, or R-6

i think the bell p-39 aracobra should see action in ah2. i could care less what version just put one in please. a p-39 is a deadly weapon in the right hands so get one.

Brewster Buffalo please...

Well . . . and it fought thorughout the war in huge numbers and there are many, many variations.

Yes, a P-39 would be wonderful to have, but I'd rather have the I-16 Mosca/Rata.

If we're going to get the P-39, we should also get the export version, the P-400 that had the 37mm cannon removed and replaced with a 20mm Hispano.

yes i agree the i-16 is a good fighter  only thing is that you already have russian planes and if memory serves me correctly the russians supplied several to spain to fight in the civil war so why not have spanish markings on them and add a to the currentl number of flyable countries planes it's just a thought but maybe it could happen lol but i think the debate goes on over which fighter we will see personally i hope both make it cause i wont know which one to fly!
