I think we have nearly enough American and German aircraft for awhile. Give a P-47M/N so the Americans have a perk and give the Germans the Me410A-R6 and Ju88C-6 and then leave off for awhile.
We NEED more Japanese aircraft, and not the silly 1939 aircraft that every non-Japanese aircraft aficiado says they should have. We need late war Japanese aircraft. We should get more Russian, British and Italian aircraft as well.
The Japanese are the least represented of the big 5, actually being matched in numbers, if not capability, by the Italians. The Japanese need to get more aircraft before any other nation. I would like to see the following:
Ki44
Ki61 IIb
Ki67
Ki84b
Ki102
A7M2
B7A2
H8K2
J2M3
P1Y1
Yamato
The last version doubled the number of Russian units, but they are still missing significant items that should be higher on the priority list than new American or German aircraft. These units should be added:
T-34/85
Il2-M3
Il10
Pe2
Tu2
Yak3
Yak9-UT
We are two airframes from having the essential British list, the Mosquito and the Hurricane. In addition we need 2 or 3 more Spitfires. The Germans have 4 109s and 5 190s, the Brits have 3 Spits, two of which are from 1941.
I would add the following aircraft for the British before adding more American or German aircraft:
Hurricane MkIIc
Hurricane MkIId
Mosquito FB.MkVI
Mosquito B.MkXVI
Spitfire MkXII or Spitfire LF.MkIXc or Spitfire MkXVIe
Spitfire F.MkXIVc or Spitfire F.MkXVIII or Spitfire F.21
I don't know much about Italian aircraft, but they should at least get these two before more American or German aircraft are added:
S.M.79b
G.55
What do you guys think?

Man I read that list over and over and I cant find a single German plane on it. Not 1. Cant be right, please redo your list. Im confused. Dont you know we despeatly need the FWMe-199 A11-U13a1/3 with the correct shade of dunkelgrun paint and the spinner whirly thing, sheesh......

I would fly the Yamato anytime (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
I would stop whineing about Hispanos too (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Yeah, fly the Yamato.
"Furball 2oclock low"
"Charge the Wave Motion Gun"
Woohoo!!!
Operational Ceiling? Iscandar!

Um, guys, I was thinking more along the lines of the 1944 Yamato. Removing the 2 midships 3x6" turrets and possessing the tremendous AA castle. Couldn't really fly it per se either.
GRUNHERZ,
At the top I mentioned the Me410A-R6 and Ju88C-6.

I am referring to the Yamato from 1944.
-
Does it have a dingy?
And what good is a patch without at least 3-4 LW planes? I wont fly it unless we have a good 50% ratio of new planes added each patch for LW.
Ok I'll bend add the 410 and I don't care if you add a GMC in there.

I still want the carrier launched Firefly.

Before that just give us an olive drab P38
just as a present to the few dedicated Lightning warriors here. It won't be that much work just like they did with the messerschmidt's, mustang, jug etc. even the 205 got a close variant
And since the L is the most uber lightning nobody would complain (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

nice list id like to see these but i think i might hate the impact one or two of these might make.....
jap:
Nakajima Ki-44-IIIb 4x20mm(IIIc had 2x20 2x 37mm)(HO hell?)
Nakajima B6N2 'jill' (well used for torpedo and kamakazi attacks)
Kawasaki Ki-102b ground attack with a 57mm Ho-401 cannon(its even named after it!) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
not so scary ...
italian:
savoia-Marchetti S.M.82 Canguru
Piaggio P.108b (4 engined heavy bomber 8x12.7mm 7,716lb bombload)

Amen bug! A nice green J model and a nice green/white D model (with 37mm cannon) will do very nicely. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

How about a ME-410? Would look nice in here I think

Campaigning for the rights of the ME-410. The system has suppressed it from its introduction. I am giving my free will and life to the creation of this bird. Free the 410!!!!!
-
still in my 'free 2 weeks', but what i'd be most interested in in AH (or any other combat sim) is scenarios ... arena, perk planes & scores don't attract me.
so planes i'd like to see are early Hurricanes, Bf-109E, Ju-87 Stuka (Battle of Britain and North African desert/Malta scenarios), P-39 & P-40 (early Pacific and desert), Me-110 (BoB & nighfighter ; what's the use of having a Lanc and no real nighfighters ?), Val & Kate (Pearl Harbour, any Pacific battle), IL-2 Sturmovik (any Eastern front battle).
all pretty 'regular' planes ...

Would be nice to have at least one perk for each nation involved.
BTW, bring the G.55 and the G.56 (perked) for Italy. Same fuselage, same armament, different engine (DB605 and DB603 respectively). I guess, not difficult to build the 3D thing from the C.205 existing one.
SM79 could be interesting, but only for Med scenarios, IMHO.
RAF needs the Spitfire XIV, while USAF needs a late P-47. Jap air force needs a Ki84. I'd like to see an A7M Reppu as well. If we have to fight a late war, we should have all the irons needed (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
-
Hmmm-Plenty of planes already. I think the game could use a British or US tank to counter the Panz in scenario play.
-
Hmmm and just think about the marketing possibilities of adding new Japanese Aircraft... Pearl Harbor from Bruckheimer is coming this July, and the media is going to go crazy for all things related to that.
Give'em a virtual Pearl Harbor (Scenario perhaps?) and you'll have Aces High on TV in no time! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
"Pearl Harbor is a hit! Both in your theatre and in your PC"
"Pearl Harbor strikes again in your PC!"
and so on...

Tried a Pearl Harbor scenario over in AW (I helped in the design, and was one of the CO's).
Its extremely hard to do.
Either its a matter of the Japanese vulching everyone on the runway, or you insert so many fantasy rules that the US ends up fully launched and waiting over Oahu at 30k, that they totally decimate the attacking japanese rice paper planes.
Good idea, I just think it would be very hard too do.

Verm, I have no experience in Scenario design, but I think this would work (Pearl Harbor):
USA: Close all bases until the attack is taking place. Harden the cruisers so that multiple torpedo hits are necessary in order to sink each of them. Only manned AA Guns available.
Japan: Give the planes strictly the minimum fuel quantity needed to get in, launch the attack, get out, and give many perkies to the ones who get home alive.
If you don't come back, no perkies.
That way you don't have time to vulch anyone, just do what you are told and get back.
That also gives the US the opportunity to chase the bogeys on their way home.
What do you think?

Cyrano, thats basically how we tried too do it, but the devil is in the details (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
I would say to write up your ideas in detail, and send them to banana or Daddog over in the Scenario Corps. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Thats basically how I started in Scenarios.

Cyrano,
Unfortunately that would not simulate the event in the slightest. The Japanese prevented all but two aircraft from launching, and those two launched from an unknown airfield. The Japanese were very successful at destroying the aircraft while they were parked on the ground. Very few AA guns were manned in the first few minutes of the attack.
Any rules that try to set up the actual event will end with the Japanese slaughtering the Americans. Pearl Harbour isn't a battle so much as an ambush. Its not really a good thing to do in a scenario. The ultimate Pacific Theatre scenarios are Coral Sea and, especially, Midway.
