New Planes Vs Same Old Planes

[wedge1000]

In reference to the new planes being added to AH, like the F7F Tigercat.

I for one would really like to see some planes we haven't seen before. It's nice to be able to fly the classics, 109, 190, Spit, 51, 47, etc but I for one really like flying planes I'm not familiar with and learning how to use them.

I'm curious what other people think. I'd like to see some of lesser known planes added just so it doesn't feel just like WB.
Instead of making the B-25, how about the B-24? I'm not trying to keep it balanced, just throw in a little variety.

I'm curious what everyone else thinks?

Would you rather have the same planes as before or would you rather have different planes?

Hey - we already have a B24... Err.. B17  

How about A20 Boston as a medium bomber instead of B25? It served on all fronts throughout the war

Or at least different variants of the more popular planes.  Maybe a Spit VIII and XVI, the F4U-1A, An odd P-38 model, an odd P-47 model, etc.

How about the 109F-7,or the Ki-61,or the ultimate in TnB fun <drum roll> the A6M3 Zero. I love taking the rice kite into battle against a couple of Spitfires. Of course you can almost guarantee at least one(if not both) of them will go into the silly patented "Spit flat turn" and will shortly after be ashes floating serenely to the ground.DTAS!

You want TnB - BIPLANE FIGHTERS!!

Fiat C.R.42 Falco
Gloster Gladiator
etc...

I think the only way to include such planes (those that never flew in the conflict) would be to have a 1946 arena. Then you could have your Shinden, F8F, F7F, Tempest, etc.

Ho-229
He-162
B-29
Me-262
He-111
Ju-87D/G
V-1/maned V1 for the japs
V-2

And some realistic Germany and England maps.

You guys can think of some more allied planes.

Yes, Pyro, and thank you for including some fresh types... I may not like all of them in the end, but I do like the choice!

[Sundog]

How about a Mossie FB Mk. VI? Or a Ki-44, MiG-3, Tu-2...maybe even a couple french fighters (Dewontoine, Bloch?). A Tempest or Typhoon would be nice as well.

I must say though, I am juts happy to see you guys putting the Mc. 205 Veltro in here!

I know, how about an Me-163! An anti-base cap plane! ;-)

[Sundog]

juts?...sheesh.

[leonid]

Planes we haven't seen before?  Hmm, let me think ... mmmwwell, I think one set of planes come to mind.  The Soviet air force of WWII! You know, those guys that held back the Germans from the other end for, like, 4 years.  Uhuh, yep, that's it.  

Oh jeez, now yer rootin' tootin'.

The only way we would have people fly many of the Soviet planes would be to model the later war stuff... you aren't going to find too many people who want to take the early Soviet stuff up. Remember, even the Brewster Buffalo was used effectively against the Soviets early in the war!

While everyone's adding thier want list how about a P-51K, So the Pony is on an equal footing with the 190/KI/La-la.

Oh yeah the "K" upgrade was removing 2 MA-duces & replacing them with 20 mike-mikes!
