The earlier I-16, great idea.  Later I-16s carried 2x20mms and rockets and were a tad more eastern front.

Here's my Japanese planeset wishlist.

Its a modified version of my old squad's WB3 wish list.  Asterisks mark the ones we REALLY need for historical scenarios, ect...


Realy Early war:

A5m4 "Claude" (open cockpit, predecesor to the zero)
G3M2 "Nell" (bomber)

Early-Mid War:

Ki-43 Hayabusa (most common army fighter)*
Ki-45 Toryu (Army Jabo, twin engined, common)*
G4M "Betty" (bomber)*

Mid war:
Ki-44 Shoki (interceptor)
H8K "Emily" (uber flying boat)
B6N Tenzan (replaced the kate, much improved)
D4Y Suisei (replaced the Val, much improved)

Late War:

Ki-84 Hayate (nuff said)*
Ki-100 (perked, maybe)


That should round it out nicely ;)

:) :) :) OK GUYS:) :) :)

     I think the P-39 would b a great idea, but y not make it so it can stand up to later version planes and go with the P-63 instead.  Basically the same plane, but instead has a larger more powerful engine and better armament!!!!!!!!!!!

      Just something to think about b4 u guys all get ur mind set on the P-39.  BUT.... the P-39 would b a great addition to AH i think!!!

<> Beans101 OUT!!!

P.S.  Please leave feedback on why u guys hate my oppinion etc...

I also have this book and its wrong...........


No yak 3's flew in 1943...... the Yak 1M was under development from  thru 42 and Yakovlev wanted to put the cumulation of this work into the Yak 3 then fitted with VK 105. However this work did not take place and the then current Yak 1 went under continous upgrade all the way thru to mid 44.

Other lessons learnt from the Yak 1M were also applied to the Yak 9 variants which were being developed from the Yak 7 which inturn was really a development of an Early Yak 1 trainer.

Development on the Yak 1 m was picked up again in 43 ( It became a sort of development tool) and cumulated in October 43 as an instruction to tool production for the final model then to be designated the Yak3. But the 1st Yak 3 left production for the front in March 44.

Where as the final war time version (April 44) of the heavier Yak 9 (the Yak 9U) did have the  VK 107 the Yak 3 did not.

Two  early pre production Yak 3's were made to test them with the VK 107.......these tests were conducted through out 44 but early and continued engine problems decided that the Yak 3 be put into production with the VK 105.........infact the VK 105 PF2 with augmented 2nd stage of its supercharger was also an engine development of the Yak 1m at which time the engine was sub coded the M 105PF-2.

The Yak 9U VK 107 was dogged with engine problems thru out 44 and many of these were only solved in early 45.

Yak 3 preceded the D9 by a considerable period..

No new planes? Ever?  What's the whole scoop?

 Are the plans basically for porting the AH aircraft into AH-II first and then progressing from there?

 I could not fathom HTC not working on and including additional aircraft into AH-II in the near term (after AH II/TOD goes into payed production) unless they're intending on branching out into another genre (I don't put any stock into that at all) or are losing staff (certainly hope not).

Ack-Ack,

Some late production F6F-5s did have 20mm cannon.  The barrels of these inboard weapons did not protrude for any great length beyond the edge of the wing, as did the 20mms of the F6F-5N.  They were recessed closer to the wing edge just as the inboard .50 calibers had been.  The barrels of the two outboard .50 calibers were flush with the edge of the wing.  I am uncertain as to how much action these aircraft saw, however I do know that they were flown by Naval Reserve pilots for a few years after the end of the war.  

By the way, I have some Grumman engineering data, courtesy of F4UDOA, that gives the lie to long-held belief that the -5 Hellcat's top speed was only 380 mph.  This data was published in March of 1945.

At a fighter-normal weight of 11,694 lbs.  the -5 could reach a top speed of 401mph using war emergency power at its critical altitude of 20,000 feet.

Tests run by Chance-Vought of the Hellcat also indicated that it could exceed 400mph in level flight.

Naval Air Intelligence conducted tests with a -5 Hellcat against a Zero 52 and then published the results for use by our pilots fighting in the Pacific.  Top speed for the Hellcat they used, which must have been in superb condition, was 409 mph.

I wish AH would use these statistics to tweak the fm of the Hellcat.

Regards, Shuckins
