Which planes are next in line for a make over?
Im guessing B17 since its a ToD plane and the overhaul needed there is HUGE so Im guessing that 2.07 will be B17 only.
But I really hope that we can get updates of non ToD planes really soon as well.
If I got to pick Id love to see some focus on the eastern hemisphere both on Russian and Jap planes. Both these cathegories are in desperate need of new planes as there are huuuuuuge gaps in the arsenals.
So for example remake of Yak9U/T and add Yak7... alternativly Remake Zekkes and add a Tojo.

A couple of months ago they said the B-17G would be the next to get a new model. They didn't say anything about any others so it is probably the only one.
I am hoping they add a B17E or B17F at the same time as they redo the B-17G.

How bout redoing the P40s. P40B, P40E, add the Merlin powered P40F that all the MTO USAAF Groups flew, and the lighter P40N that saw so much service in the Pacific and CBI.
Or redo the Me 110 and add an Me 410
Then again....Beaufighter! :)

Guppy, I knew there was a reason for my love of small fish. It is the P40 of love that binds the community. :cool:

how bout overhauling some FW-190 lineup?
for example, add FW-190A-4 (1942-43 era), replace 190A-5 with 190A-6 (1943-44), and put BMW 801 TS on 190A-8/F-8 (middle-late 1944 to 1945) for better low alt performance. the D-9 is ok and Ta-152 should be converted to AH2 standards.
Note: FW190A5 is modeled off is EB-104. An FW-190G the USAAF tried to ballast back to an FW-190A5. The G series has a higher drag profile than the FW-190A so it climbs at a steeper angle and much slower speed. It lacked the engine setup of the Antons and it's performance is not representative of the type.

190s just got their overhaul...
P40s and additions of Merlin P40F is one of my dreams.... the other is the Beaufighter!!! Damn that sexy beast of an uggly plane.. ;)
-
More like add a new bomber... b17 versions and he111. long since the bomber guys got some plane. We already have tons of fighters.
-
They should do the B 26 & 110's,along with the B17:aok
-
We all know B-17s will be restored to AH2 standards for version 2.07
*virtually* all GERMAN IRONs (109s and 190s) are complete. I think its sound to bring new massive waves of soviet planes right now.
Fighters
I-16 type 24
MiG-3
LaGG-3
La-5 (an LaGG-3 airframe fitted with 1,700hp M-82 radial engine)
La-5FN (improved La-5 with all-round vision with 1,850hp M-82FN engine)
La-7
Yak-9 standard (dont make -9D or -9M, just Yak-9 standard)
Yak-9T
Yak-3
Yak-9U
P-39Q-10
Bombers/Attackers
Il-2 Single seat (first version of IL-2. it carried 2x 7.62mm MG ShKAS, 2x 20mm cannon ShVAK, 8x RS82, and bombs of different weight weighing up to 600 kg)
IL-2 Type-3 (the one we have in AH)
IL-2 Type-3M (same as AHs IL-2 but with NS-37 cannon option)
Pe-2

A-26 Invader would be cool.
I think one version had a 75mm nose cannon too, but I don't know if that was common. That would mess up some tanks for sure.
-
We need more Japanese fighters. And Soviet fighters should be added also. We have more spits, and 109s then we need. And don't have enough Japanese or Soviet fighters.
This mho of course. Russia produced fighters in massive amounts and we have only Two versions of the Las' and Yaks.
Methinks if we would count up the models and the variants Japanese and Soviet representation would be a great deal short.
-
honostly, i really dont think it matters what we think the next planes will be. We can guess all we want but most of us will be wrong. Its gonna be up to HTC and no one else. So personally, it doesnt matter what the next planes will be because, eventually, all the planes will be redone!

If the ToD starts in 1943, with the USAAF arriving over German skies..
...what more would we need?
* Earlier B17s seems definately on the line up.. (although I was a bit surprised that a very early P-47D or P-47C wasn't added..)
* Would we need the P-40s for the ETO scenario?
* The P-38s are here.. which is a good thing..
* Would there be groundwar in ToD? In that case, '43 tanks, artillery, support vehicles and etc would be most welcome...
I guess after that, it'd depend on which script HTC will be working on after the initial release of the ToD... Pacific? MTO? Eastern Front? My personal wish is for the Eastern Front or BoB...
BoB would be really cool.. a bit simpler ToD span, with fights occuring over a much smaller area than others... but it's always a very popular subject.. and I'd love to enlist in a ToD featuring our spankin' new SpitI and Bf109E-4s.
-
The Invader would be awesome!!! :)
-
More German bombers plez.
-
the new Spit 1's +12 boost will outperform 109E-4 in all categories except negative G turns.
and about the 1943 ToD...
Are we ghonna use P-38G to simulate P-38H? P-38H looks similat to p-38G. P-38J entered very late in ETO dec 1943 (1944 in PTO)
I think the only plane that is missing for 8th AF vs LW is the Me-410. Me-410 is a 1944-45 bird intended to replace the Bf-110s
-
< Is super happy for just getting new spits & 109s :O
-
Pyro said the B17G model had to be completely rebuilt because of errors on the current model. I am not expecting a large update like the spit/109 update. I would hope to see a B17F and B24D. Then again they might decide to go ahead and remodel the B26 while they are at it.
-
all american F series
invader nice too
-
I think HTC will redo the B-17G and maybe add the E, or F. Then after that they might go and redo the Ju87 and 88 and add more german bombers.
-
Anyone know why the Ta152 was left outof the 190 update? Would love to see that baby brought up to par.

My guess would be that it wan't worked on because no one flies it.
And when it comes to German iron, the more HT "works" on it. The prettier it gets, the crappier it flies, and the views from the cockpit get worse and worse.
My guess is the next time the 109s get worked on you will just have a pin hole to look out over the nose. And the 190s will deploy flaps at 120mph and fly about as fast as a Spit 5. Probably take away the all the 4 gun cannon packages too..
I wonder if we will also get a slower climbing K4 with less deck speed? :(
-
The FW190's only got a graphics update.
All the best,
