Then how about the 109E-7 and F-2 for scenarios and FSOs. They wouldn't require any 3d changes to add to the planeset. :airplane:
We had this issue just recently in FSO in an Eastern front design where the 109E-4 was subbing for the E-7, and the F-4 was mostly subbing for the F-2.

Instead of wishing why don't you follow the previous example. Get reliable performance data, have a skin made and give HTC a call.

I would be very surprised if HTC didn't already have data on those aircraft. These two aircraft are not obscure, small production variants.

Agreed and a Spitfire Mk XII would be nice . :D

That would require a 3d model change. But I'm all for a Mk II and a LF Mk V with clipped wings. The Mk V should also have a 120rpg option.
-
That would do be nice also. :aok
-
Could the same be possibly done on for the B-25J. Maybe I should look for same data.
-
How about the spitfire F.R or what ever it was called. it had a bubble canapy like the P-51D.
-
E-7 has a couple of subtle shape differences here and there, most notably the pointed spinner.
That's probably the closest parallel you'll find to the current P-47 situation. They just took the P-47N flight model, removed extra gas, removed a little weight, and put rounded wingtip 3D models on it.
No tweaking of anything 3D, and very little tweaking of anything flight-model (heck, the wing tanks still show up on the damage screen!)
Finding something else like that where the variant is different enough to warrant adding to the game will be very hard.
That said, I'm all for the E-7 or E-7/z!!!!
-
If people keep this stuff up then whats next? the Me 309. Which is impossable!!! The thing never went passed prototype stage. After the German Air Ministry found that the 109 was more manueverable the the Airframe that was suppose to replace it.

Every plane mentioned in this thread saw thousands of sorties, hardly prototype or drawing board material.
-
Yeah but people are stupid enough to ask for the F-86 or F-22 so i thought maybe i should throw myself on stupidity list since it seems very popular. lol
-

25J would be a little more complicated, as you'd essentially need the nose of the 25C with the rest of the 25H. That said, I'd love to have a J gunship with 14 forward .50cal. :O

109G10 :devil :x :x
Or G14 AS or G6 AS!!!!! :devil :x :x
:cheers: :bolt:
-
why would they put in a plane that they took out?
-

Because they didn't take out an actual G10 they replaced what was essentially a K4 with 20mm hub and gonds option :old: ( n if they'd give that to the K4 I'd shut up :neener: :neener: :neener: )
-
I agree wrag,the G6as and G14as seem like a simple FM adjustment.
Also I see no reason to not have gondies for the K4,in fact I would argue that no gondies are a field mod!
I appears most were shipped with gondies attached and several squadron were disappointed and had them removed.

I'd like to see an AM63 and F6F-3.

Depending on the version used the A6M3 may require a different model, if they use the Model 32 with the clipped wings. (although the Model 22 might use the same model as the A6M2). This could be likely to make it visually distinct from the A6M2 Model 21 and A6M5 Model 52 that we have.
I think the F6F-3 would require some changes to the model as well.
-
A6Ms require a new model in any case, it is still an AH1 model.

Krusty, you do understand that the P47N had a larger wing then the other Jugs right? They added 18 inch plugs on each side of the fuselage to lengthen the wing and create extra room for more fuel. It wasn't a clipped wing Jug. It had more square feet of wing area then the others. The M looked identical to the D-30 which I imagine is the model they tweaked
-
Yes, I realize that. I wasn't the one that said the N was clipped. It's definitely got a larger wing area.
Ask them how they did it. They probably took the horsepower model from the N and the lift/drag model fro the D-40. I meant they used what was already there, instead of making a new FM. It's clear from the current bugs that the M is a recycled "N". Whereas coming up with another example of a variant that uses the same model would require re-creating the engine part of the flight model, or the drag, or SOMETHING would have to be made from scratch.
Whereas the P-47M example just cut-and-pasted existing work -- they'd already done it.
-
Let me add another example to clarify what I meant.
P-47D-40 already made, P-47N already made. Put the N engine on the D40 frame, done!
But on 109E-7, for example, you need to model a new engine entirely, which means new power curves for speed and climb, needs to have the spinner changed, and a couple other minor issues. It's not something already-in-game, that they can cut-and-paste together.
-
A6Ms require a new model in any case, it is still an AH1 model.
Well, yeah, that too. The A6M3 would be a nice addition when that's done, as it's MUCH more appropriate for the mid-war period than our A6M5b (which is really a later bird of roughly the same vintage as our 1A).
Had a thought on the Zekes I'll open a new thread for.
-
P-39D-2 and/or P-39N please.
-
This is why we can't have nice things.... we get greedy.
:bolt:
-
There are a number of planes that could use an update prior to adding more aircraft. The zeke(s), the P40's, the B26, etc. Dont get me wrong, I like to see new planes added, but to leave behind mainstay aircraft in the dark ages is a shame.

I would say there's some new additions that are probably even higher a priority than updating existing aircraft. The He-111, G4M and Ki-43 are REALLY important aircraft that fill several glaring holes in the plane set.

Please, the whole point of the thread was to point out aircraft that would require zero 3d model changes.
A lot of the aircraft we're pointing out here would not be as easy as the P-47M, mostly because they would need unique 3d models. If I was wrong about the E-7, then too bad for the E-7.

Has been asked for in the past. Should be simple enough?
Hurricane I + tail hook = Sea Hurricane

+1 on the sea hurri! needed badly
