HT,

Please consider adding the Romanian plane IAR-80.

I plane I have wished to be added for a long time along with the I.A.R 80.  Even though I probably won't fly one in the MA's unless by some miracle there was a twin engine version, it is one plane that I would love to fight against.  The Romanians gave P-38 drivers bloody noses from time to time and I want some pay back b*tches!

I'd fly this exclusively and would enjoy dueling for historical purposes, as well as each of us "figuring out" how to best ourselves.

BTW, did you get my PM?

AH,

As you know most posts get a mix of positive and negative feedback.  This is a rare post indeed where most everyone that has replied has been favorable to the idea of adding the IAR-80.

Perhaps if\when you do add it consider adding one of the later variants.

AH, thanks for considering the post and the overwhelming support for this plane.

The IAR-80 and the D520 are two very worthy fighters that deserve a spot in AH2, the problem is finding someone who has the ability to add them into the game agree with us.  :pray 

I'm afraid either do not have enough "flash-bang" to be added.

Hehe.  You must have gotten your knowledge (or lack of it) from watching the History Channel.  ;)  Open a book and read.  You'll be amazed at the stuff out there to be learned.   :)  Romania, Hungaria, Greece, Poland, Norway, Finland, China, Brazil, and a whole host of others played a much bigger part than what most people think.   ;)  Heck, just reading up on the British Commonwealth and learning what they all contributed is a lengthy read in itself.   :)

well im norwegian, so i know about their effect on the war, their best pilots went down to england and flew in the RAF and for awhile and were the top pilots in the RAF, but the norwegians didn't have any good planes of their own. I own the Janes Fighting Aircraft of WWII, i guess I'll have to go back and read the Romanian section, it's a great book, it covers every single airplane from the experimentals to the full scale production models, as well as the countries airforces impact on the warm, guess i always skipped over the romanians  :uhoh

If we are to believe AH they are now re-committed to making changes to their premiere product after dropping CT.

If they were to add just one new plane variant found and used during WWII every quarter they might have them all in 20 years.  :lol  Just a joke but my point is there is plenty room for these type additions.

Romania was a staunch German alley for the first half of WW2.  In addition to the I.A.R. 80/series, Romania also manufactured AND acquired many 109's (E,F,G2 and G6 models) and
were very effective on the Russian front as well as hassling Allied Bombers and Fighter Patrols..

There's a huge a significant history regarding Romania's Airforce during WWII..  The airforce was instrumental in recapturing two originally Romanian provinces (part Bukovina and Bessarabia which the USSR had occupied for a year).  This was no small feat.  Although in the grand scheme of things, this may not sound like much, but had just over 600 viable fighters to work with and as many as 2000 air to air victories before 1944(when they "switched sides" which is another story all together).

There were lots of countries involved in WWII that I'm sure you never heard of or never even suspected of being involved.  That's where research comes in.   :D

Don't know - don't care. 

Just add it in proper relation to customer votes and HiTech development time.  No plane used in WWII should be neglected.  More is better.  If they made 1 of it and it flew once in combat...add it baby!  Perk if you must but let us fly'm all.

Good lord look at the length of that nose!  Over the nose shots are going to be quite the challenge in this aircraft.  Looks interesting though, would like to see one of the 81's go in due to it's armament.  If I read correctly, the 80's only had 4 x 7.62 machine guns?  Don't think you could do much damage with that, at least not in AH.  However, the 81A and B had 13.2mm (little bigger than a 50cal) and the C had 4 x 20mm!

81C Stats:
6,570 LBS (Max take-off weight)
1,025 HP
----------
6.4 LBS/HP

4850 LBS (Empty weight)
1,025 HP
----------
4.7 LBS/HP

Pretty light little fighter, looks like it actually wouldn't do half bad up in the skies of AH.

Of course not Hispano's, its an Axis fighter. MG 151/20 is just as good IMO. The versions with 2x 20mm and 4x .303s would basically be like a radial-engined Spit V with much more cannon ammo and probably a better dive rate.

Yes baby I'm in for that plane, it is my FAVOURITE. I wanted to see it on since the days I was playing H2H... however since H2H was taken down I never played again.

That being said I won't play unless H2H is added back to the game, that was the only reason I was playing, because I like hosting, make terrains and skins for my own server.
I was never interested in the Main Arena, or any other arena like that. Even when I could play for free in the first two weeks, it didn't have any appeal to me.

Except that it was used extensively as a divebomber and fighter-bomber right from the get-go. With a radial engine and battery of multiple MGs and cannons, it was much more effective as a JaBo than the 109.

That's my point. I really do want all of 'em. I even want the TBD Devastator - an airplane that had a significant impact on the war in the Pacific, even as it was shot down in droves. Let's face it, it's not as much fun if all we have is 425 mph cannon-armed single-seaters.

At the same time, priority-wise, I'd think an Italian bomber (probably the SIAI MArchetti 79), the He111, the Japanese G4M, the 410, and the Beaufighter are all more significant.

But, I wouldn't turn down the addition.

As for American planes... meh... don't like 'em much, though I appreciate the flat trajectories of their .50s.
