The best way to submit a wish is to come up with a specific, researched (not all from Wikipedia, if at all) idea and present its "statistics" and abilities along with why you think it would fit into Aces High. :) Making others do the research for you doesn't usually come along so well.

"I wish we had more boats but I don't know what" doesn't cut it unfortunately
I think the PT is just fine. It's such a small part of the game, it would be a waste of resources imo.

How can we continue aces high without this:

Unfortunately pretty much all the small PT boat types, and about all the navies had them, were roughly either equivalent to the PT we already had or were less then performance-wise. A few were faster but not by much and more lightly armed.
The best was probably the German "S" boat only cause it was the only one that ran by diesel and was most sea-worthy. But even that had a small number of cannon, torpedoes, and machine guns. All of them had speeds in the 40 to 45 knot class. Not much different then the one we already have. I cant think of any PT boat in WW-ll more heavily armed then the late war one we have. The German one was so good cause it didn't catch on fire like the Gas operated ones of other navies.
There was an incident right before "D" Day where a number of German "S" boats happened upon a lightly escorted Yank LST group that was practicing for the coming invasion. The Germans killed a whole bunch of Americans so the boats were plenty lethal. At least against lightly armed LSTs.
Like the others here I dont see much point in bringing more boats like this in when we still need so many aircraft. Like the TU-2 and Beaufighter. :D

If i recall the US did make a truck that could go swimming whenever. I think it was called the duck... anyway it could carry troops and supplys, so i would be very usefull for the game.

U-boats.......... :x

It'd be neat to choose between this and the PT. Not high on the priority list IMO, but nonetheless I'd rather see this than most of the other stuff that "is repeatedly wished for".

The DUKW doesn't give you anything you don't already have with the LVT2 except no armor and no guns.

Buts its as fast as the M3 and some models did carry a 50 cal.

Or a Fairmile D and BPBC boat which the Elcos were based on.

Good call Milo! Those would suffice as well.
