Which AH planes should be next to be remodeled to AH2 standards
* A6M Zero series
* Lavochkin series (la-5 and la-7)
* Yakovlev series (Yak-9T and U)
* Hurricane Series
* P-40 series
* Hellcat/Wildcat series
* Italian fighters
?

Ummmm all :)

A6M has my vote.
I have wanted it re-done for awhile now.
-
I think here's should happen if they start converting AH planes to AH2 standards...
A6M Zero series (A6M2 and A6M5)
* Add the A6M3. A6M3 is basically a short range and clipped wing A6M2. A6M3 has the same armament as the A6M2 but 80 more cannon rounds. A6M3 also uses a more powerful engine.
Lavochkin series (la-5 and la-7)
* Also add the LaGG-3 (Lavochkin-Gorbunov-Goodkov). LaGG-3 was one of USSR's main fighters in early to mid war.
Yakovlev series (Yak-9T and U)
* Add a Yak-9 standard for 1942-43 timeframe. As of right now we do not have a REAL mid-war Yak.
P-40 series (P-40b and e)
* Add the P-40N. P-40N was used in desert theater and in Burma.
Hellcat/Wildcat series (F4F and F6F)
* Add a 1942-1943 F6F-3 variant on the Hellcat series.
N1K2-J
* Most N1K2-Js had automatic-deploying flaps. These should be built-in for AH2 N1K2-J
Ki-61 Tei (this version is late-war)
* Also add Ki-61-1b. The Ki-61-1b is a mid war Ki-61 armed with 4x 12.7 mm guns.

La5FN & La7 for me. The La5F would be a cheap third option as it would be graphicaly the same as the La5FN except for the ntake duct and the exhaust flaps.
FM wise La5F would just have less power than the La5FN unless HT wanted to model the early 5 tank version. This would extend the Lavochkin range back to Early 43.
Given HTC's ability to model stuff like bomb pylons more accurately. Coupled with a future ordinance perk system. The la7 need not be split into two differing models for its 2 and 3 cannon options and the cannon bay cover plate is just swopped when the cannon numbers are changed.
Yaks could be opened up to a list of variants to match the Spit or the 109.
Easy 1st step would be the Yak9M. It would be a Yak9T with the 37mm swapped for a 20mm and the model could just be derived by the ordinance choice.
But with a little more work the Yak9D could be done with all its variants and then you are just one step away from the Yak7.
A very typical and representative range of Yaks
Yak1 1941 to early 43
Yak7 1942 to late 43
Yak9D 1943 to mid 44
Yak9T 1943 to mid 44 (Yak 9M 1944)
Yak3 1944 to late 45
Yak9U 1944 (late) to late 45.

i say we should work on the p40
tbm
and hurris,
and for the love of god put my sherman in!:aok

I'd like the 110's done. Maybe even get a 210/410 out of the deal! :D

I hope and I pray for the Zeke (all flavors).

"Which AH planes should be next to be remodeled to AH2 standards?"
I vote for the Mosquito, although I imagine it doesn't get enough use to justify spending limited resources on it. The prop spinner in particular looks very angular and old-fashioned. As with the La5 mentioned above, it hopefully shouldn't be too hard to spin off some alternative Mosquitos if the basic model was fixed up.
I'm sure the HTC staff are beavering away at the aircraft you least expect. I reckon they're working on the Ki-61. Or would that be *too* obvious? If it turns out like the new Corsairs it should be fantastic.
-
would like to see the la5, la7, p40 and nik2j upgraded. they are used so much and have the ugliest cockpits, graphically
-
Ta-152 please...looks like im flying an A8 from AW.
-
Typhoon and temp need some cosmetic surgery, and so do thier engine damage models, too many times does the typh engine oil go when in other planes it wouldnt
-
Based upon the recent update of the F4Us, I'd wager that the F6F-5 is next, with the F6F-3 being added. Followed by the Zeros and possibly the Wildcats or P-40s. The only guys outside of HTC who know will be the ones doing the initial skins, and they're not going to spill the beans.
My regards,

Ta 152, Temp/Typh cockpits.
Ugliest by far. Don't really fly the TA much but it is that bad it made me laugh last time i flew it.
Temp/ typh also is in the need of a little love two of my favourite planes
Screw the lalas :)

The Mosquito gets my vote for the model that most needs changing.
In reality this aircraft was far superior to the slow heavy version in AH2
C'mon guys please!
-
we SHOULD have more mossies, there were so many of them, also i belive the top speed in AH is 8/9 mph slower than it was in real life. they were som later modeled mossies that were so much better, and mossie bombers. i fly the mossie more than most as my granfarther help create the 'wooden wonder' and the airfield/factory of De-Haviland is 5 miles from my house, it's now been turned into sports university but thats another story:eek:

Folks, I'm relatively certain that the graphic updates to aircraft are predicated upon the needs for Combat Tour, not upon how ugly the current graphics are.
They have updated or introduced new versions of the Spitfires, the 109s, the 190s, the P-51s, the P-38s, the B-17, the B-24 and the P-47s. This group is needed for the debut of Combat Tour, which will be an ETO show.
They just recently updated the F4Us. Keeping in mind that the three USAAF fighters were done, and the Ki-84 is complete, does this not indicate that the second tour of CT will be a Pacific war set-up? I believe that it does. Thus, I expect that the F6Fs, Zeros, N1K2-J, Ki-61, F4F/FM-2 and P-40s will likely be next in line.
Don't expect the Mossie to be updated in the short term, or the Russian fighters either. Even if the Typhoon and Tempest are scripted into the ETO tour, they will probably go as they are.
Inasmuch as the time and effort involved in updating aircraft graphics is substantial, I'm sure HTC will focus on what is needed short-term.
My regards,
Widewing

i would rather see more planes, and them all with some cosmetic surgery than combat tour.;)
-
I say finish the bluebirds (Hellcats, Wildcats, TBM, SBD) - followed by the Brits (Typh, Temp, Hurri's & Mossie)... then the La's... then the Japanese birds...
Just my $.02
;)
-
FINISH THE PERK PLANES!!!
Would be nice to have a pretty new 262 for your 300 perkies :)

I've been to the De-Haviland museum - great place. I really want a fuller range of mossies too. They went in high and fast, and/or low and fast. They were used as fighters and bombers and for attack/strike and pathfinding. They relied on their speed and surprise.
Some even took pretty heavy bombloads - completely un-modelled in AH.
I don't know of a real equivalent elsewhere.
Also I heard that they could take quite a bit of punishment too - didn't one of them return home with a chimney embedded in its tail? That must have been an intersting experinece.
-
they were also as 'special ops. plane' they once broke open a german POW camp doors and hundreds of RAF pilots were relieved from capture.
but they really need remodelling in here.
