Title: Next update -- F4U, F6F, F4F
Post by: Enduro on September 04, 2005, 02:35:54 AM

That's my request.  I think the blue birds are the right planes to update after the spits and 109s are finished.  :)

The B-17 is already announced as the next plane to be updated after the Spits and 109s.

I think after the b 17 a he 111 would be a nice addition.

They're gearing up for TOD, so expect the 1943-44 ETO planes to be first out of the shop.

Ah, you're right.  I forgot about the B-17 announcement and the fact that the TOD set of planes are taking priority.   O well.  :(

My guess for order of planes for ETO ToD:
B17G, B17F added
B26B, B24D added
Tiffy, Temp
Mossie (with fixed to FM and a new version added))
Lancaster, Helifax or Wellington added
Hurricanes
ju88, He-111 added
Ju87, another Ju87 version added
110, Me410 added
152, 262, 163

Though some planes like P40 were used in the ETO, it would more likely be updated when PTO rolls around.

Raptor, out of those planes I think we can safely strike the Hurricanes, Halifax, Wellington, Ju88 (unless they add an Ju88G), Ju87, 151, 262, 163.

The first tour of TOD will focus on the strategic daylight bombing campaign and defense of the Reich.

Frankly, I worry about the Mossie in ToD.

The FB.VI did indeed do some pure daylight low-level formation stuff, sometimes several dozen aircraft at a time.

But, both by day and by night, the Mossie was the ultimate lone-wolf aircraft, prowling rear areas looking for unsuspecting aircraft, trains, motor transport and fixed targets.

I'm not sure this fits the ToD concept, though of course I'd be glad to be proven wrong.
