Now that I got your attention...
What sould be the LOWEST proirity on the wish list? My vote goes to the Brewster Buffalo, One of the least advanced aircraft to see action in WW2. It did nothing well... low, slow, unmanuverable, and poorly armed.
A close second would be the Blenheim, underpowered, undergunned and obsolete at the outbreak of hostilities

You should get out of here while you can.. before the finnish cavalry arrives. :D
-
More early war planes what I want to see:
I-15
I-16 (Fun for furballs and against Seafires and Zeros).
Dornier Do 17Z
Farman F.222
Dewoitine D.520
Morane-Saulnier M.S.406

What, did someone mention the Brewster? It should definitely be the HIGHEST priority on the wishlist. Time for the Brewster! (http://forums.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=52235) :D

I was kinda looking for you Buffalo fans... What is the facination all about? I have never understood why anyone would want to fight in one... It was a design conceived when monoplanes were a novelty... To me it looks like a '20s biplane that sombody cut the top wing off of.
Please enlighten me so I can quit Pi**ing you Brewster Buffalo guys off!

To quote Camo..
A few good reasons:
1) The Finns achieved a kill/loss ratio of 32:1 in the Brewsters during over three years of fighting (June 25th 1941 - September 4th 1944) against the numerically superior Soviet Air Force. The Brewster earned the nickname "Pearl of the Sky" by its pilots.
2) The Brewster won the contract competition for the first monoplane fighter of the US Navy in 1938, against the F4F Wildcat.
3) It will have extensive use in AH scenarios.
4) It looks like a bumble bee with the yellow east front stripes.
And here's a link to Brewster air-to-air victory credits (http://www.warbirdforum.com/scores.htm) to Finnish Brewster pilots.

Cannon fodder for my Zero as far as I'm concerned. The Zero is considered a bad plane by most and it can do everything the Brewster can but better. But I will vote yes for it just because it would play a large role in the early war scenario's.
Edit: Perhaps the Finnish model and an American model would work best, that way we could have the "Pearl" and a CV capable one for early Pacific Scenarios.
-
The Buffalo would be pretty worthless for scenarios with the exception of the Fin-Rus campaign and maybe midway.
The one good reason for adding it, would be to get the Finnish Hoarde out of their cherrypicking altmonkey 109's and into their little 'bumble bee'.
Now that is a good a reason as any :D ;)

The US Brewster and the Finnish Brewster were quite different in configuration. The Finnish one, having no armour added, was much lighter and more agile.

Really? Could be a fun plane to engage after all then, nothing like a good knife fight.

amen!! ....pe-2 would be awesome....how about a SB2? and a S.M.79 ?
lets flesh out the early plane set!!....enuff with the 1944 1945 planes!!
-
Yes, SB2 and S.M.79-II would be good additions too.
-
Need more AXIS bombers and another british bomber.We have enough american bombers.
-
B6N2 "Jill"
D4Y2 "Judy"
G4M2 "Betty"
He111H-16
Ju188A-2
S.M.79-II
Are all Axis bombers.
Wellington B.Mk III is an early war British bomber that wouldn't be useless (as the Blenheim or Battle would be).
SB2 and Pe-2 are both Russian bombers.

P-36!!!!!!!!!!! alot earlier than the p40 and obselete when the war started i think but still, it looks cool, it reminds me of a p47d-11 and a p40 put together
