Title: Wishlist Planes
Post by: Rob52240 on June 22, 2010, 01:52:51 PM
YB-40 (B-17 Gunship)
B-29 (just like everyone else wants it as a perked plane)

Lancasters with Tallboy (12,000lb) and Grand Slam (22,000lb) bombs.

F-7F Tigercat & F-8F Bearcat (very late war fighters)

B-29 (just like everyone else wants it as a perked plane) Everyone? No way ;)

Lancasters with Tallboy (12,000lb) and Grand Slam (22,000lb) bombs. We don't have appropriate targets for those

F-7F Tigercat & F-8F Bearcat (very late war fighters) So late that none saw any action.

YB-40 (B-17 Gunship)
Experimental conversion and unsuccessful in it's intended mission. Only 26 built.


B-29 (just like everyone else wants it as a perked plane)
NOT.


Lancasters with Tallboy (12,000lb) and Grand Slam (22,000lb) bombs.
Not appropriate for use in the main arenas. I know you're just wanting them to drop a base in a single pass, that's gamey.


F-7F Tigercat & F-8F Bearcat (very late war fighters)
Never saw combat in WWII.

Spitefire Mk8 CV

Bristol Beufighter ( Torpedo And Intruder Version )

Gloster Gladiator

Focke Wolf Condor

Westlnd Whirlwind

Fairy Sordfish

Fleet Air Arm Hurricane MkIIc and MkIc

Fairy Battle's

Hampdens

Gloster Meteor

Fairey Fulmar

These are alot of aircraft that Ace's May Be able to construct. I hope they do especialy as some of the aircraft will enhance the capabilitys of the carrier borne force's in the M/A.

Spitefire Mk8 CV
No such animal ever existed.

Quote
Bristol Beufighter ( Torpedo And Intruder Version )
Nice choice, even if misspelled.

Quote
Gloster Gladiator
Might be amusing along with the I-153 and CR.42. Still low priority.

Quote
Focke Wolf Condor
Extremely fragile maritime patrol aircraft.  Wouldn't have much use in AH and as a fairly large aircraft would take a lot of work to add.

Quote
Westlnd Whirlwind
Rare aircraft, would be a nice perk plane in the Early War Arena....if the Hurricane IIc didn't exist.

Quote
Fairy Sordfishp
Sank more tonnage of Axis shipping than any other torpedo bomber and outlasted its replacement so it definitely merits addition based on historical relevance, however it would perform far, far more poorly in AH.

Quote
Fleet Air Arm Hurricane MkIIc and MkIc
No such think as a Mk Ic.  Sea Hurricane would be nice, but Seafire was more important so given the choice between a Sea Hurri and a Seafire Mk III, I'd take the Seafire.

Quote
Fairy Battle's
Sheer, utter death trap.

Quote
Hampdens
Neat looking bomber, but Wellington would be better to add.

Quote
Gloster Meteor
Maybe someday, but extremely low priority.  Only Allied jet that is even an option though.

Quote
Fairey Fulmar
I'd rather see the Fairey Firefly, but I don't think either are high priorities.


The only British aircraft that I'd say have a decently high priority would be the Wellington, the Beaufighter and perhaps a bomber version of the Mosquito.

The Russian and Japanese sets need attention, if possible.  Data is an issue there.

Don't forget the Handley-Page Halifax!

(http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy329/Wildcat1995/halifax.jpg)

made a huge impact in night bombing campaigns before the arival of the Lancaster in 1942 and continued to be used alongside the lancs

oh, and the Ki-43, G4M, B-17F, the list goes on....
Title: Re: Wishlist Planes
Post by: fbWldcat on June 22, 2010, 03:04:45 PM
British Planeset is lacking a bit, not as badly as the Russian, Japanese or Misc. Countries though (Australia, Italy, China, France, Greece, etc). 4 of which don't even have aircraft in the game right now. I'd say work on the higher priority planeset first. Decent ideas though.
Title: Re: Wishlist Planes
Post by: Karnak on June 22, 2010, 06:10:05 PM
Wildcat1,

The Halifax is a low priority in my opinion because it is so extremely similar to the Lancaster in role and capability.  It is also a very large aircraft and would consequently take a lot of work to add.  If that much work is to be done to add a single aircraft I think it would be better put to something more game changing like an He177 or H8K2.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Next thing we know, you'll be badmouthing the Bolton-Paul Defiant! :D

I would love to see the gladiator and swordfish, but I agree that they would fare best in the stricter historical scenarios/ early war.

I would love to see thisd plane added eventually, but it isn't a huge priority. the Russian, Japanese and Italian planesets need more work than the German planeset. Good plane though, first I've ever seen anyone bring it up.  :aok

Ah but they where on the smaller fleet air arm carrier's. and used on the Main carrier's as supermarine had trouble with redesigning the spits undercarrage and tail for the needed strength for a Carrier Deck landing.

#1 PE-2  - Would add a Russian attack capability. They are the only major faction without an attacker. I believe it has the largest production numbers of any aircraft not already included in Aces High.
#2 Yak-3 - Fun  :rock
#3 He111 - Historical significance
#4 Beaufighter
#5 D.520  Oui Oui!
#6 P-61  Impact relatively small and disproportionate numbers might show in MA if not perked
#7 B-29
#8 P-40N  Most numerous production model
#9 Ki-45
#10 P-63

Honorable Mentions: PBY-5, Ju52, Ki-43, Me410, Ki-44, Do217,Mig-3, Hawk75, Breguet 693, Me323, MS 406, IL-10, TU-2, J2M, H8K, SB2C

B-29  :rofl that is all  :noid
D.520  :rofl I would prefer shooting down an enemy plane to trying to give it acupunture. 4x 7.7s isn't even respectable. TheHurri mk1 has 8 or them and they hardly put a dent in anything.
PE-2 We already have the Mossie  :D
P-61 I love this plane, but there is no use for a night fighter in Aces High (i.e. there is no night)
HE-111 I would love to have in the game.
Yak-3 Yes, if nothing else than to add a decent fighter to the Russian ranks.
P-63= P-39
P-40N- we could always use more distractions.
Ki-43 is already in another thread, I don't believe it went over too well.
ME410 Very respectable but we already have the 110, so this is towards the bottom of the list.
KI-44 We could always use more kindling, us Japanese pilots love dying in a glorious inferno.  :D
Mig 3 +1
PBY- no, already been brought up, problem would be using it efficiently and fairly in game.

The others I won't really care to comment on. Some of these planes should be at the top of the list like the Mig and Yak and possibly the Jap planes.

Yes, but it's likeness to the mossie is unmistakeable. It was a joke at any rate...  :noid

A Russian mix between the 110 and the Mossie. I never said no to the idea. I actually think it would help the planeset.

Today isn't my day. *facepalm*

Might as well make it a double facepalm while I'm at it.

It was always my belief that the P-63 and the P-39 were just variants of one another with slight changes, very slight. I'm gonna have to shut up and do some dug down research before I open my trap again.

The engined mounted 20mm HS.404 might leave more than pinsalamanders.  FYI, the HS.404 is the same gun as the Spitfire Mk Vb's Hispano Mk I.

No, I believe that title belongs to the Polikarpov(sumthin like that) U-2, weiging in with around fourty thousand built. Very low priority, as we have no use for nuisance tactics. I believe the only thing it really had going for it versus metal monoplanes was that it was so slow pilots could not pull a bead on their target before they had overshot it.

The Russians have an attack aircraft. Several, actually. The Boston, IL2, La7, Yak-9T...

I knew it had 20mm but only 60 rpg with one cowl gun? Is that correct? If not send me a source, I would like to look it up better anyway. Maybe my memory is gone, who knows?

                                                        I meant to type in Spitfire Mk8 (CW) its a cliped wing version used by the American Army Air Corp and New Zealand Austrailian And British against the japanese now i can only remember it called as a Spitfire Mk8 (CW) but it had a few other letter's and numbers between the Mk8 and (CW) oops my bad  :(
