Title: I am bringing this up again...Early War Craft
Post by: Hajo on November 30, 2008, 05:42:50 PM
We have imo enough in the MA to keep everyone happy.

However we are limited in what can be done as far as Scenarios because of the Lack of Aircraft and Armor from the early war time period.

Time to fill in the holes.

The list is long and has been presented many times in the past.

The earliest Japanese fighter we have is the A6M2.  The only bomber we have is the Ki67.
We definately need to fill this void.  Oscar?  We need it.

LW....sorely need the He111 and the Ju52.....Do17 needed also

Russian planeset......no bomber  or an early war Yak.......LAGG etc. needed.

RAF....Beaufighter, Beaufighter, Beaufighter.  One of the most successful multi-purpose aircraft of WWII.
An early war Bomber for the RAF would be nice also.

I could go on...but my soapbox needs shored up.

Ground vehicles....Where is the Sherman???  Every allied country in WW2 used it!

G.55? (http://www.finn.it/regia/immagini/fiat/fiat_g55-archivio_ami01.jpg) Love to see the Oscar be added.

The G.55 is a Mid War aircraft at best. It was Italy's last great aircraft.
No where close to being an Early War aircraft.
Though I wouldn't mind seeing it, I'd rather see the CR.42, G.50 and C.200 for Italy.

....and again you hijack an Early War thread with a request for a Mid to Late War ride.  


Skuzzy, Ban him already.

Wouldn't mind having some biplanes be added.

I strongly agree with the addition of the Oscar, Sherman, and Beaufighter...ermm and the He11 obviously, everyone wants it!

Magic missle!  I cast magic missle on you!  LOL! 

The D520 and that smurfy I-16... ... ... along with the He111 are three key aircraft missing from the EW arena.

They flew planes from.... tons of countries. Britain, France, the United States, Italy, Belgium, Germany... The Brewster 239 was used to great effect against the VVS by the Finns.

Any fighter or bomber  that were involved in the Polish campaign, invasion of the Low Countries and Scandinavia and during the Battle of France should be added to the EW ETO plane set. 

For the most part, at least on the Allied side, most of the planes that were involved in the onset of the war in the PTO flew the same EW rides as they did in the ETO, so quite a bit of those Allied EW ETO planes could also be added to the EW PTO plane set, would just have to change the skins.  Would be cool flying I-16s with Nationalist Chinese markings.  I would also add all the Japanese fighters like the Ki-27 or the Ki-21 "Sally" or the G4M "Betty" bombers.

In addition, EW ground vehicles like the French Char B1 tanks, British Matilda, German Panzer I, II, and Panzer III Ausf.F and Ausf.G and the Czech made German tank Panzer 38(t) and Panzer 35(t).

I'd love anything that ain't in the planeset already. I'm sick and tired of arguing about what the next plane needs to be, just do something and put it in. For god's sake, when is the next patch, anyway!?
