Only Brittish planes to add is the Swordfish and the Lysander. Period.

since when did Zimme become the adding British planes wishlist police?? Free World, Free wishes. :old:

Being Swedish, I'm surprised he didn't go for the Gladiator.
Personally I'd like to see the Beaufighter and the H8K Emily. Make the latter available at ports and it would see some MA use.

No Westland Lysander with the mini bomb wings on the spats and 20mms mounted to the spats for anti german invasion beach duty during BoB? Now that would be a spotting plane to contend with the Storch..... :O

There is no such thing as a free world.

H8K Emily
Wow that thing is packed with 20mm cannons! Dont take that one for an easy kill if you see it.
Actually all the wishes thus far in this thread are really good. Be cool if the new version is released with a few new planes. ;-)
:salute
EDIT: Wonder if the H8K should be perked if introduced with all the cannons? People could really abuse this bird. A mobile flying artillery\sky scraper bird etc.. Then again, fly THAT into a horde! LOL. In WWII less than 200 hundred were built is my understanding.

Now if we could get Hitech's favorite distillery to pick him up in a private jet for a tour back in the UK. And have him dropped off at his home by a limousine towing a trailer full of cases. And someone figure out what Waffle needs as a bribe. Hitech and Waffle might post snippets of rivet patterns so we can spend hours searching the Internet and our research collections trying to match them to WW2 rides not in the game.
Look where that got a team a few years back trying to match rivet patterns from a sheet of aluminum found in the Pacific to a Lockheed Electra. A contest like that might last 5 minutes against Greebo and other skinners..... :O
Ooops, doesn't Greebo make the skins for new rides?? Ok, Greebo gets replaced by Zak. No snippets of the tops of pies and everyone else has a chance.

Less than 200, but they saw very heavy use. The largest surviving Axis airplane is an H8K2.

I don't think you'd need to perk the Emily, its Type 99 20 mm cannons had quite a low MV and RoF, the bomb load was nothing special for a four engined bomber and although it had a good top speed for a big bomber I can't see it having the altitude performance of an American heavy. There is also the issue of whether it would have formations.

Formations is debatable. The Japanese did do some limited operation using small numbers of H8K2s in formation, but it could go either way. I'd say yes to the formations in order to make it more useful. As noted, the Type 99 Model I cannons aren't very good so I don't think it would be overpowered to have formations enabled. It was a very tough aircraft as well, with a fully protected fuel system, engine armor and armor for all the crew positions. It is probably tougher than a B-17G.
The H8K2's climb rate was very, very good for a heavy aircraft. Not sure what it's altitude performance was like though.
-
I vote no to formations for the Emily, just to prevent the gun ship formations that would occur otherwise.

Bruv of course is 100% correct

+1 for the H8K
would love to see the Boomerang too

H8K WITH Formations. :D I don't see why it should be restricted. :headscratch:
The Ju-188 or Do-217, so the Germans finally have something that stands some kind of chance against LW stuff. Personally I'd want the 217, simply because it is a twin tail design. :x

All this talk about adding new planes but the only planes I see people flying these days are P51Ds and 190Ds. There really isn't a point in adding new planes if 90% of the population is afraid to fly non exceptional performance fighters. :noid

No, that's not true. Yesterday I encountered TA152's, BF110's, Spit 9's, Spit 16's, Spit 14's, 109K4's, Yak's, P38's, P51B's, 190A8's, 190F8's, 190A5's, Mossie's, along with The P51D's and the 190D9's you mentioned. Then there were the Buffs, Lancaster, B17, B25,
AR234, TU2, as well as a Goon.
Violator, I think you are still mad from your deaths to the 190D9 and the P51D, that fought as their aircraft was intended and wouldn't get in to a turny fight with you that you complained about on 200 for quite awhile sir.
-
Zoney,
Lets qualify this. He was probably alone looking for a 1v1. P51's and D9s on average are not flown by those looking for a white knuckle 1v1. And furballs at capped bases will have many lower performers in the grass at the risk of being swamped by them, or picked by the rescue force of incoming hi alt, not interested in 1v1 P51's and D9's.
I suspect the alpha, either when it goes beta, or the rollout of AH3 will have something new. New has nothing to do with a player's willingness to use it 1v1. It has everything to do with it being NEW.
New, will probably keep more customers paying their subscription than the availability of 1v1 in the long run. Otherwise we wouldn't stay in hoards to shoot one guy in the back.

I was merely being sarcastic but for real, I'm pretty sure 90% of planes I came across last night were 190Ds and P51s. They didn't "fight" as their aircraft was intended, they overshot 6 times, ran away then turned when I turned, their plane was able to catch mine of course. I call it, lucky for being able to scoot away every time they missed me and then be able to turn around and catch me. Just cheesy flying if you ask me.
IMO the 190D should be a 6 Eny plane considering its speed and excel capabilities with the gun package it carries.
-
I'd like to see the H8K2 or the H8K2-L added to the game, it would be fun to replicate some of the air battles between patrols planes like the Emily and Allied bombers/scout planes that took place in the SWPA.
-
Violator, start a new thread if you want and I will discuss it there with you. Let's let our friends have this thread for what they intended if for <S>

forgot to add Seafire Mk IIIc to my list, well done Guppy! :cheers: :aok
Badly :eek: need the ability to terrorise enemy planes from a CV with some OOMPHH!! our current seafire just hasn't got the engine power to dominate Uber land based rides and being a more common variant to the existing one in game the Mk IIIc will improve historical realism in the Late War arena.
Also because Guppy is such a good egg in reminding us of these things maybe a cheeky Griffon Spitfire Mk XII, kind of like a SPIT 14 that is a little easier/tamer to dance with.

One of the AK's flew a P-40F in the MA for much of last month and had a 2.63 K/D in it (62 kills, 24 deaths)... Some people LIKE the older stuff... :neener:

That may be true. Probably because the 90% keep getting crushed by the 10%, who also happen to mostly fly the best fighters.

F6f-5N , 2 20 mm's and 4 50's .

Would like to see an Italian bomber SM or Cant' or even an inferior Breda dive bomber to flesh out the third wheel of the Axis power. Though they would be date less hanger queens, they'd still look marvelous and I mean that.
-
Seaplanes....any seaplanes.....especially Sunderlands and those Zero/pontoon.....C-47 and german Ju52 had them pontoons.... JGROTH
-
Beaufighter - perhaps the most significant WWII plane we do not have.
Whirlwind - a BoB plane with cannons, jabo capability and sufficient performance not to be a total dog in the MA.
And.... Roll drums..
Mosquito XVIII (tze-tze) - 57mm true AP autocannon. Will be the king of flying cannons, and it is made of wood so cheap for HTC to make.
-

It would be nice to have a few a little more depth in the Italian plane set. I'd also like to see:
A-36
Ki-44
Beaufighter
-
You can love it or you can hate it but, it's got a whirly 100Oct smelling wind with a touch of morning ale fart until the cordite cuts in.
Just remember Waffle, use the new Hurri gunsight in it like it should be in the spit MkI.

F6f-5N , 2 20 mm's and 4 50's .
N = Night Fighter. We have no night. So basically you're just asking to be able to put 20mm on a poorer-performing (the radome would add significant drag and weight) F6F.
Anyway:
F4F-3 (4-gun F4F-4 is an FM-1. F4F-3 had completely different performance characteristics)
Ki-45
Ki-100
Ki-44
SB2C
TBD
Beaufighter
B-25J

Obviously N= night but we had night at one time . But everyone asks P61's and its the same deal. Some F6f-5n's were used during the day , some had rocket rails and carried out bombing mission's according to some of these pic's.

If the -N model was introduced, it would cause the existing Hellcat to become a hanger queen. People will forgo the regular Hellcat for the cannon Hellcat.

When the AN/APS-6 radar was added to the F6F-3N, it was feared that the weight (250lbs.) and size would have a serious negative effect on flight performance and speed. Fortunately, those fears didn't come to pass as it was found that the AN/APS-6 radar didn't negatively effect maneuverability and only cut the top speed by around 20mph.

How is that different from the 3 guns La7?

THAT on the other hand will make it a hangar queen.
OK, it will be the new carrier JABO if bombs were allowed on it.

Unlike the La7, it would require an additional plane model, not just a different guns package selection in the hanger. I would also venture that if we were able to see the metrics, it would show that the majority take the the 3 cannon package.

Yes, the F6F-5N was able to carry ordnance, though not sure if limited to 3 HVAR rockets instead of 4 because of the radar on the wing.
