And besides the He-111...

Do-17
Ju-87B
110C-4 (not the /b variant with the upgraded engines)
Spitfire Mk IIA, IIB
Hurricane Mk IIA (IIB seems to have just missed BoB)
109E-4/N, E-7

...and that still wouldn't be all of them.

I'd say no to the Spitfire mk Ib and Mk IIb.  They were failed attempts to get cannons on Spitfires and jammed so badly trhe squadrons so equipped wetn back to Mk Ia and Mk IIa Spits.  In AH they wouldn't jam and would be used almost exclusively over the Mk Ia and Mk IIa Spitfires.

I could care less about arena use.  Moreover, gun jams are not the only malfunction that we leave out of AH, so it's not a big deal...

The point is that we're missing aircraft that saw action in the Battle of Britain, and I'd like to have them. :)

it is not specie richness that we lack on BoB, It is the diversity.

We only have 5.  The Ju-87D doesn't count.

I wasn't thinking in terms of arena use, well, sorta.  I was thinking in terms of Axis vs Allies setups.

hush you, drink more beer  :devil


On a serious note, I'd love to see a couple more BoB planes added to the game before the next BoB scenario.  I know it's ludicrous to request everything we need for a complete BoB in one swoop from HTC, but some effort in that direction (IE: a-little/one at a time) would really be greatly appreciated by the scenario and AvA community.
