One of the usual rejoinders to requests in this forum runs along the lines of, "it would get no use in the MA..." I'm much more interested in the Special Events, specifically the Friday Squad Operations (which I often fly) and the big Scenarios (which I cannot fly often enough). Among the Special Events, I find that I especially enjoy early-war and mid-war plane matchups. With all that in mind, I request that some of the following planes be considered for inclusion:
Battle Of Britain:
Heinkel He-111 (P or H variant)
Dornier Do-17 Z
North Africa / Mediterranean:
FIAT CR.32 / CR.42
Savoia-Marchetti SM.79
Gloster Gladiator
CBI (Flying Tigers!):
Mitsubishi G3M "Nell"
Nakajima Ki-27 "Nate"
PTO:
Nakajima Ki-43 "Oscar"
Misubishi A5M "Claude"
Misubishi G4M "Betty"
Russian Front:
Mikoyan MiG-3
Lavochkin LaGG-3
Petlyakov Pe-2
Thanks! :salute

Like the idea, but not the special server only part.

We already have the Betty in the game.

No we don't. We have the Ki-67.

:aok
I think these aircraft would also be used in the MA, maybe not as often as late war fighters but I see I-16s, Brewsters, zeros, ect.. on daily bases.

No special server requested. I only referred to the Special Events. OK by me if these planes are all enabled in the MA, but that's not my primary interest.

I know i'll probably get blasted for this but if this idea was taken to aircraft to be used only for special events (snapshots, FSO, etc) then why not also add the B-29? I'm not a fan of putting it in the MA but it was a history making aircraft that would make for a pretty cool snapshot.

Sure as long as you want to fly it for the historical 16 hours round trip to Japan and keep it below 20k like they historically did during the massive bombing raids...that would work.
-
Keeping it realistic. I like it!
-
I've always argued for more balanced plane sets for scenarios.

Nope they definitely went higher than that.

I am unaware of any significant service of the A5M in the Pacific Theater. It did see action in China, but it was rapidly phased out after 1941.
A much better list for the Pacific Theater would replace the A5M with any of these: Ki-44, Ki-45, D4Y, B6N.

Russian Front:
Mikoyan Migg-3
Thanks! :salute
I was just about to request the mig when I came across this thread! Awesome!
-
I'm astonished that any self-respecting WW2 combat flight sim can be without a Nakajima Ki-43 'Oscar', the most-produced Imperial Japanese Army Air Force fighter of the war - but there's been no Hayabusa of any mark seen in AH so far.
:cool:
-

Yes, they could but they didn't do from the Solomons after the first few missions...do the research...under 20 thousand feet was the operational altitude due to what was perceived to be excessive losses from Japanese anti-aircraft fire.

I've read that A5Ms were flown from the Shoho during the Battle of the Coral Sea. Although granted, by that time the A5M was obsolete.

I believe the first Japanese aircraft shot down by a carrier based F4F was in fact an A5M off the Marshall Islands. I could be mistaken though. I'd love to see it in the sim at some point but would rather see the Ki-44 as Karnak suggested first.

I'd like to add the PBY Catalina I :salute

I know this may sound strange but these plans would be FUN to fly sure you'd get destroyed ina pitched fight but so what its a game why cant we act like it is anymore??????
and in those instances ya make it out you'd be having even more FUN :eek:
