Aces High Bulletin Board

Well, I decided to do another list of AC I would like to be added, regardless if they would be hanger queens or not, or if they are a "good" add or not. The AC that I will list should fall under HiTech's requirement of "having to at least seen combat.".
So we'll start with the country you shouldn't be surprised to be listed first:
USA
Pacific:
Fighter: Separate the F4F-3/4 Hybrid we have, and make them a separate AC.
Technically, this could be considered adding a fighter. The difference between the two is enough to warrant this. The -4 has worse climb and has the same amount of ammo that the -3 has, only spread across two more guns. In addition, the service ceiling in the -3 is higher than the -4.
Bomber: TBD Devastator
I would love to see the TBD added, if only for more accurate Coral Sea and Battle of Midway FSO/Scenario/Shapshots.
Europe:
Fighter: P-38H
Not many fighters left to add here. The H model seemed to be the best pick over the F. :)
Bomber: B-17F
Not much to be said here. A little faster, with worse coverage overall. But a damn sexy bomber. :aok
UK
Pacific:
Fighter: Beaufighter
Wiki classes it as a Heavy Fighter. :) The only problem I have is WHICH variant would be best to add. :headscratch:
Bomber: Beaufort
This AC quite a bit in this theater by the RAAF, I believe it would add to FSO/Scenario/Snapshots. :aok
Europe:
Fighter: Gladiator
This AC was used quite a bit against Italy. It would bring is one step closer to a Winter War setup as well. :)
Bomber: Hampden
What can I say? I just like the way this bomber looks. :) Also, twin tail. :x
USSR
Fighters:
I-15
Another AC that would bring us one step closer to a Winter War setup. :aok
MiG-3
Isn't it about time a MiG made an appearance? :)
Bombers:
Tupolev SB
Here is another AC that brings us closer to a Winter War setup.
TB-3
Another AC that brings us closer to Winter War. :D
Germany
Fighters:
109 G-14/AS
I like the G-14, but hate it when I have to go up high. That is why I want the G-14/AS. :aok
Fw-190 A-2
This would add a 190 that won't cost you an arm, leg and first born to fly in EW. It may open up more options for FSO/Scenario/Snapshots as well. :D
Bombers:
Do-17
I have a thing for twin tail bombers. :x And some of you thought our last BoB Scenario was awesome, with 88's and 111's flying together? Wait until the Do-17 joins in on that fun! :rock
Do-217
Did I mention I have a thing for twin tail bombers? :D
Japan
Fighters:
Ki-45
Isn't it about time we were able to use the REAL thing, instead of substituting it with the 110? :x
A6M2-N
I think even token fighter defense at a port is better than NOTHING. :)
Bombers:
G3M Nell
Yeah. My thing for twin tail bombers... :banana:
B6N Jill
While the D3A we have may be EW, even in LW setups it at least has some guns to do SOMETHING. The B5N isn't so lucky. So in comes the B6N. :)
Italy
Fighters:
CR.42
The match for the Gladiator. We can't have the Gladiator without the CR.42. :D
C.200
I just like how this plane looks. :)
Bombers:
SM.79
This is an obvious choice. :)
P.108
You should've seen this one coming. The idea of gun turrets on the engines is interesting. :aok
There you have it. Those are AC I want added that meet HiTech's requirement. :) I listed quite a few that could work for the Winter War. And if you haven't noticed, I was leaning towards a Winter War setup up when making my choices. :D Also, TWIN TAIL BOMBERS! :x :banana:

I'd also add the LaGG-3 for the Soviets.
-
And don't forget about the D4Y Judy and the Ki-44 Sally(I think it's the 44, could be wrong :headscratch:)
-
P-36 please! also the A5m Claude.
Why can't we just get a Spanish Civil war arena?

NO not another Uber dweeby soviet fighter where it is over modeled. lol

Lol the LaGG-3 was a turd. Although I'm sure it'll take damage like a B29.
-
more japanese planes :pray :pray :pray
and my p63 and i will be happy :airplane:
-
You forgot the Ba-88 for the Italians! :old:
IMO, plane gaps need to be added before any versions of existing aircraft.
UK, Japan, and Italy all need heavy fighters. Italy is also the only country without a bomber.

It was hardly "uber" by any stretch of the imagination. It suffered throughout its operational service being overweight and underpowered and some later versions (in attempts to lessen the weight) were under gunned. It was also a dog to fly, early versions of the LaGG-3, the pilot ran into a serious risk of getting into a nasty spin if they pulled on the stick too hard, making sharp maneuvers difficult to perform.
ack-ack

But you missed the part where I said I don't care about gaps. :D I just worded it poorly. What I meant by, "if they are a "good" add or not.", was aimed towards gap filling. :aok I am fully aware that there are other AC that would fit more for the MA over what I have listed. :)

Wasn't there not enough difference between the -3 and -5 to justify the addition
-
KI-100 please and the P-61
+1 on the Beau also

Having both the F4U-1A and the F4U-1D nullifies that argument.

Hell yeah P-63 :bolt:
-

In addition to Arlo's comments on ordinance, the 1A is also faster at altitude (by as much as 10-15mph depending on altitude), lighter, and carries more fuel.

Westland Whirlwind
Hs 129
J2M Raiden
Gaps be dammed!

The F6F-3 has different canopy glass in front and back, as well as not having rocket rails. Also didn't have WEP, IIRC. Akin to the P-38G vs P-38J.
In AH, the 1A and 1D performance is very close.
No reason not to have the F6F-3, considering it served in numbers and so many other planes in game with multiple variants. If not, at least give us the option for the rear windows, like the B-25C glass choices.

:salute how about the French planes? or the aussy planes? :cheers:

I wouldn't mind the F6F-3(Coral blasted light blue like the -1 corsair), mabye make the F6F-5 a late war fighter.

Spit XVI with teardrop canopy and 4x20mm....

:rofl nope.

I'm glad someone else wants the C.200 Saetta!
-
Most, if not all of the hellcats at the Battle of the Philippine Sea were -3 models. From what I read, the -3 climbs better, and has a slightly better top speed than the -5. The way I see it is they did what they did with the corsair. They took a sports car and turned it into a really fast dump truck.

Yak1 should be a pretty simple addition for 41.
