Not that I disagree with any of them being added, but it is probably wiser to request one at a time. I definitely want to see the P-61 in game  :rock

I was wondering about that one too :headscratch:

Someone might want to try expanding what they fly in AH before they make wishes... ;)

     Nice long list, have a couple of comments to make about it.

The F-82 and B-36 were postwar, the XP-55 never got past prototype stage due to rear engine cooling problems.

Kind of wondering why we'd need the He-111Z as we have nothing for it to tow  :huh  Even after they added the Gigant it would
be one enormous slow target with no practical arena use.  The Me-323 would be pointless as HT has already said that more
troops being carried just means more troops needed to capture the towns.

(http://www.ba102.fr/LIEUX-HISTOIRE/BA-102/He111_Z__Large_4.JPG)

I have no idea what a HO-IX is and we already have a Ki-61.

You must really hate Russians to stick em with an obsolete SB-2  :lol

Any wish list with the B-32 on it can be dismissed out of hand.

It has as close as imaginable to the same performance and capabilities that the B-29 does while having served in low double digit, if not single digit, numbers.  Being as large as the B-29 it would likewise take an enormous amount of work for HTC to add it.

So, why would we need what is essentially a B-29 with a different 3D model?


At least the Halifax, which I object to on the same grounds due to its performance mirroring the Lancaster so much, served in the thousands.  The B-32 has no such excuse.

Why?  It would be an absolute waste of HTC's resources.

Who cares? It's a 'what-if'.

And I already DO get a gunner, and fly into hordes :aok :D :lol

I've never done that, but I'll bet it's a blast ... 8 guys in a YB 40 could probably cut a pretty big hole in a bunch of suprised 51s. I'd bet you could deack a base/town in 1 pass with 5 gunners & REALLY tick a few people off !!!
:uhoh

:rofl I didn't even think of de-acking... Imagine if you just circled the airfield in one big circuit... Uber-vulching :devil

They would LAST longer, too; they had extra armor.

People would figure out quite quickly in game why the YB-40 wasn't successful.

My ingame name is fish (I fly for the rooks)
The 2 planes I am in most of the time is the Mosquito and N1k2
I fully expected some of the planes to be shot down :lol for one reason or another but I thought I'd throw em' in their anyway (Sorry about the KI-61, forgot to erase that one)
The JU-52, DO-17 and HE-111 are thee absolute must planes
all others are just suggestions

How many kills did the P-61 actually have by the end of the war and if it was Soley a "Night Fighter" how would that play into the game...just asking?

Variety keeps people interested. Not so much myself, and by the sounds of it you included, but the majority enjoy swimming in a variety of aircraft choices.

Variety is accomplished by having aircraft that perform differently and have different capabilities, not aircraft that just look different.  Add to that the fact that very few aircraft would take as much work for HTC to add as the B-32.  Couple that with the fact that it was a complete non-factor in the war.  Include the fact that far fewer B-32s entered service than did Ta152s.  You end up with a unit that makes no sense at all to add to the game until an awful, bloody lot of units not yet here have been added, so many that you're looking at the B-32 showing up round about 2025.

You can have one B-32 or three or four other aircraft.  Which adds more variety?

And just because I know that I have a reputation here for being against American aircraft being added, let me give a quick list, off the top of my head, of American aircraft I'd like to see added eventually.

A-26 Invader
A-36 Apache
B-17E or F (preferably F I think) Flying Fortress
B-24D Liberator
B-25J Mitchel
F6F-3 Hellcat
P-38F Lightning
P-38H Lightning
P-51A Mustang
P-61A or B (preferably including the top turret) Black Widow
SB2C Helldiver
SBD-3 Dauntless
TBD Devastator
