before you go posting on the boards saying "OMFG GUYS LOOK WHAT I FOUNDZ!!! ITZ SOOO COOL WE SHUD ADD IT!!", realize that there are two requirements for adding aircraft in this game:
1. it was used by an active-duty squadron durring WW2
2. it saw combat durring WW2.
this aircraft meets neither of these

you really really want a jet don't you? :rofl
should have found another source besides wikipedia...
Bell produced 66 P-59s. Although the airplane's performance was not spectacular and it never made it into combat, the P-59 provided training for AAF personnel and invaluable data for subsequent development of higher performance jet airplanes.

OMFG GUYS LOOK WHAT I FOUNDZ!!! ITZ SOOO COOL WE SHUD ADD IT!! P-59!
:D

Didn't someones uncle here fly a P-59 in the war testing friendly anti-aircraft fire over Japan?
:devil
-
I don't know, a jet 25 mph slower than a P-51 sounds good to me :rock
I don't recall the 37mm in my reading though. The one Planes of Fame is restoring to flying status doesn't
appear to have one.

Yeah I think it was that lol. Gotta hate having to test the effectiveness of AA fire though.
-
I never knew the F-82 had a flux capacitor either :D

Ok, I get that people want a new jet, but I don't get why they are obsessed with it being an American jet. Why do they keep asking for American jets that didn't make it when there are two jets, the He162 and Meteor Mk III, that aren't in the game and did make it.
What is so special about it being American?

because they've never heard of the RAF, i'm guessing
-
Why not American? Other than your obvious bias I mean. Since alot of folks don't know about the unwritten
rules of acceptance they choose what they find.
The combat record of the 162 is limited at best, plus we need to make sure all the jets are German?
The meteor is definitely a more acceptable choice by the squadron strength and saw combat criteria.
Wildcat, it must be a real burden to be so much smarter than everyone else. I feel for you.

:D
in all seriousness, i would have no problem with an American jet in the game, but only after a LOOOOONGG list of re-models and much needed EW and MW aircraft are added
-

What bias I am showing? I am not the one asking for something that didn't see combat just because it is American.
Personally, I don't think we need more jets of any kind, but given than people want them, it seems they could at least ask for the ones that fought in WWII.

Karnak just liked to go shoot down peoples ideas. But in truth I have to agree that if it didn't see combat it shouldn't be put in aces high. I say put in the PBY :3 it saw lots of service

Bah. Humbug. I've supported every idea that I thought was good. :p
PBY did indeed see lots of service.

i like the use of "shoot down"... in a flight combat sim.... :bolt:
PBY saw alot of service, yes, but including that owuld have to include adding more of a nval realism to the game. and what about other planes/GVs... and the updating of the ones we have... and anyways, my thoughts on what HTC should/could do is keep the combat areas the way they are (surface naval, airborne, and ground) and get those REALLY FANTASTIC (not that they arent already... just saying) and then introduce a new kind of combat (naval-- surface and below surface)

You Sir apparently have never heard of Grand Funk Railroad. Find here, in the haze of smoke, the answer to your question:
