yeah, i dodn't notice those were in AH either
-
Out of those the only ones likely to be added are the Ju-188 and the Me-410. Those have been brought up before and aren't as unnoticed as you may think
-
the condor doesn't have any combat roles

Getting shot down does not count? ;)

mistel composite plane- used less than a dozen times, more dangerous to its pilot than the enemy.
the condor- maritime patrol plane with very poor bombload. Won't happen without convoys for it to attack.
the greif- too late war, too small numbers, would be far too good (can't model the engine fires and construction faults).
he 219- only equipped one gruppe (I/NJG 1), theres no role for a nightfighter in AH.
hs 129- would be nice, but I can't see them making a badly performing tankbuster
me 210- maybe
ar 196- why do we need a patrol floatplane when we can't land and take off from the water??
do 24- we need a 3 engine seaplane like we need another Spitfire...
blohm und voss bv 138- Get off the seaplanes!
he 162 salamander- one kill, in action for about 2 weeks, ain't gonna happen.
go 244- why do we need that freak if we can't even get a Ju52?
hs 123- Biplane ground attacker? Out of service by 1940.
hs 126- seriously, what are you smoking?
ju 86- 1930s bomber, inferior in every way to the Ju 88, Do 17, He 111...
ju 188- This one we might get. Upgraded Ju 88, good bomber. Served a bigger role after 1943 than the 88 did.
me 323- This one would only be useful if they were to make a light tank or let it carry a Jeep or M3, but just a novelty or scenario plane. Hangar queen.
me 410- A bit more likely than the 210, was more succesful. Still no match for the US escorts though.
-
still the mistel should be an option on the 109 and 190 (mistel1 and mistel 2
-
The ME-410/variants are one of my wishes as well. That and the Panther.

That's a workable list. I think either the Ju188 or the Do-217 would make a swell German addition.
I think also you do need to consider the Sparveiro or Alcione to flesh out Axis airpower.
Someone said the Hs123 was out of action by 1940, that's not entirely accurate and really this would be a great plane:
It was sturdy and incredibly accurate in delivery. It was so wildly popular with pilots and the men it supported that there were calls to start building it again when they ran out of them in I think late 1944-early 1945.
It makes a great plane to add, but only after the Gloster Glad and Fiat Cr42 are added, and those only after we get the SM79, He-111, Do217, P-39, Early war Jap bomber (Sally or Helen, the 48 was I seem to recall the better armored plane) etc. . . . . that is to say, after we have say 12-20 other planes I'd love to see the Hs123--great plabe for destroying tanks in the desert (strafing version had 2x20mms).
On your list the ones with the best chance of making it into the arena I reckon would be the He-111 and the Pe-2. I would bet we'd see the 111 first, maybe even soon, because you can't hardly have a Combat Theatre roll out without one can you?
Also need the Wellington for English planes. The Helldiver is about my last wish for an American plane because between the TBM and the fighters loaded up on CVs I feel we have enough excellent blue stuff for a time.

Yeah ... what AH needs is the entire inventory of German aircraft added before anything else. Ahem. Same for tanks. *cough* ;)

Or, Alice's Restaraunt piped into every plane, briefing room and GV intercom.
Arlo's point is well taken, the lad who started the thread simply said "Deutschland, Deutchsland here' your plaaaaane set . . ."
Sung to a catchy tune, too.

You can do anything you want .....
:D

I didn't see the Focke-Wulf Ta 183 listed.....I mean, heck, since we're dreaming :D
-
Everyone is always forgetting the Pe-8, just because it was big, slow, outdated, and outguned doesnt mean that we shouldnt have it. I mean come on, COME ON! It could carry a 5000lb or somethin bomb o-serious death. You can even kill planes with that thing. He-111 is also a plane that we seriously need. Its alittle out there but the mistel would be quite badass indeed, i mean comeon, its a giant (I think 1 ton) warhead attached to a ju-88, who doesnt want that (except for tankers)?

Petylyakov (Pe) 8 was not a bad plane, but was built in few numbers and used as much as the Grief was or less. It was famous for bombing Berlin a single time early on (had great range as I recall) and ferrying Russian dignitaries.

These are in AH??
Do i not have the rank to see them? :mad:

What, no one wants the Stinson L-5 Sentinel (akaU-19; O-62; OY-1; OY-2; Sentinel Mk.I/II.....etc etc...)? Nicknamed the "flying jeep". We could give the pilot a rifle to shoot out the window.
Specifications (L-5):
Engine: One 185-hp Lycoming O-435-1 flat-six piston engine
Weight: Empty 1,550 lbs., Max Takeoff 2,020 lbs.
Wing Span: 34ft. 0in.
Length: 24ft. 1in.
Height: 7ft. 11in.
Performance:
Maximum Speed: 130 mph
Ceiling: 15,800 ft.
Range: 360 miles
Armament: None
Or the Piper L-4 / O-59 / L-18 "Grasshopper", or Cessna L-19 / O-1 Bird Dog ?
The Messerschmitt Me 323 "Gigant" Heavy transport was mentioned....heck yes I'd spend my buff perkies on a butt-ugly plane that could drop 10 field supplies or 100 troops in one drop..... a big, slow, ARMED , goon!
The Heinkel He 177A-3 (or later) Greif (Griffin) Heavy bomber.... 1,000 were made, so as a perked buff, sure. Later models were not quite as Zippo-like. A little more bomb load than Lanc, decent turrents, and quite a bit faster than a Lanc. Nice alternative to not getting the B-29.
He-111 would be nice for senerios of th Battle of Britain, but totally outclassed in the MA.
Betty? Could we have the heavy fighter escort version....no bombload, but 20mm's at most of the turrent positions?
We'll never see the B-25 cause they don't want to hear incessant whining about a carrier launched version......
A-26...sure.... we got the P-47 N-model, a late-war model to be sure, so why not the A-26.... but American numbers pretty well rounded already in plane types.
I'd definately vote for a second perk-bomber before any new fighters or GV's.....
....though I'd still like a General Patton version of the jeep....where he stands in the passenger seat, shiny helmet on, firing his .45 at passing planes..... and a jeep with a recoiless rifle (60mm or 90mm) centerline plus a .30 cal for the passenger, and painted in Desert Rat colors.
