I find it odd that with other people wanting things like Panthers and Rocket Propelled La7's, Not to mention the ever-present B29, that the majority of planes I want are very early model planes... some preceding the war. Like the He-111. Is it newer or better than our current planes? Hardly. Is it sexy and would I like to fly it? Definately.
But, it doesnt end there. As much as I want an He-111, I want a Bf 109.... Dora. The version that served in the Spanish Civil War. 4 MG17's (7.9MM Mauser). It also had a Junkers Jumo 210D engine instead of the DB600's of the later 109's.
You think it ends there? Well, your wrong. Almost as much as a 109D or He111, I would like to fly the Ar 68- the biplane that was the main aircraft of the Luftwaffe from Hitler's rise to power to its replacement by the 109. Armament? 2x MG17's. One heavy hitting aircraft.

NOT TILL WE GET THE PANTHER TANK!!
It was supposed to be like a german T-34-85

Love'em all.. I am also a fan of early war planesets even though Id get shot down in them 90% of the time I find it a nice challenge to fly them vs the regular planes we see in the LWMAs. And the He-111 is top in my list along with an early B series stuka and Ceaser 09. Dont get me started on early war brit planes along with more Italian planes (early and mid) Keep'em comin Motherland :)

I'd rather see biplanes that actually fought in WWII, such as the CR.42, Gladiator Mk I and I-153.

Was the Slopwith Camel a pretty good world war 2 fighter?
-
The Camel didn't fight in WWII.
So no, it wasn't.
If that's a typo for WWI then well, it was really good, but not the best. Other fighters were beginning to overshadow it by 1918.

An early planeset with those Karnak mentioned (I-153, I-16, CR42 and Gladiator) is probably a loooong way ahead, judging from the current pace.
You'd practically need all of them, and some more to make it proper anyway. Swordfish, PZL-11, Early Stuka, 109D.....Henchel...
I-16 is my vote, for it saw a lot of use from early on, and can be spread across many models.
And then, don't forget many others ready in '39 and used in '40, - D520, the Fokkers, the Brewster, etc etc.
Have faith though, HT has made a bipe simulator before ;)

Agreed.
CR.42 is a must.
I 15 when the developers get bored.
-
Im all for any fighter with a main armament of 2 rifle caliber Machine guns.
-
Then you would love the ride Ive been wanting, and enjoy in IL2. The CR.42 the G.50 and the MC.200. MMMmmmm goodness..... Yeah light cal on the guns, but lots of ammo and the things turn on a dime.:aok
