I'd sure like to see it there.

Chappy rumors or announced aircraft in the next version are the Yak-9U, A6M5b, the Fw190A5, and possibly the Lancaster and Ju-88 if time permits.
After that who knows.... *shrugs*
My guess from talk on this board that some highly likely contenders are the Me410 and some variant of the P-47, are high on the list. The Dora is also a vocal favorite, but since they are getting the A5 in 1.03, it will probably be another round thru the countries before thats a possibility.
Also with the announcement that the Navy is coming sometime soon (was originally suppose to be in 1.04, but I think is now delayed) we will also see some Naval Dive Bombers & Torpedo aircraft.
But (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) everything past the first paragragh is totally rumors, guesswork, and opinons.

Lancaster is good enough for now. I just want more RAF aircraft. More variations of the spitfire would be nice too. Afterall, look at all the 109s. Hurricanes? Tempest?

I agree with the variations on the Spit. The Spit 9 HF and LF would need only minor tweaks of the 3d model, new skins and a variation of the flight model. Another 2 planes for less effort than 1 new one.
-
I hope they do a later war spit IX with the uprated engines, more fuel, bigger tail and cut down rear fuselage.
-
A P-51B would also be nice.

Mosquito would be a nice choice, because of all the armament variations. With one airframe you get an aircraft that can do level bombing, CAS, night fighter, maritime patrol, day fighter, recon, and probably some other stuff I forgot.

With regards to all the 109 types; two of 'em are so rarely seen/poor performers as to not really offering themselves as alternatives.
Sort of like having 17 Porsches, 15 of which are 1950 vintage models and two being new ones and saying "hell, the Porsche dudes have LOTS to choose from". Sure do, but only two to choose from if they wanna win any race (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).
Also, unlike with the Allieds or Japanese, the Germans only did these aircraft for air superiority. Sure the ME 110 and 410 existed, and late on also some 262's, but the former weren't really dogfighters and the latter a late war aircraft I don't want to see in HA.

Nashwan, check the performance on our Spit IX, it has at least the speed of a HF (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Don't know about ROC, but at least speedwise its a HF.

I tested the ROC and it was way off either the HF or LF. The current Spit may be too fast at altitude, but it's still nowhere near as fast as the you-know-what. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
On another subject, I also want the Tempest!
