Zigrats guesses were:

Fw-190F-8
Spitfire MkXIV
P-47M
La-7
Modified
__________
Tempest MkV
Fw190D-9
All New
__________
Ar234B
Il-2M3
I have bolded the confirmed aircraft.
One more aircraft has been added, the La-7, since Zigrat posted his thread. His list is still viable.
I still think we might see a Ki instead of the Il-2M3, but with 1.07 rumored to be navy focused HTC might be waiting till then to add more Japanese aircraft. The two we've got certainly see heavy use.
What are your guesses?

Would the Arado 234C4 (the four-engined fighter version) count as a new or a mod?

IMO, I would guess that we would probably get the Yak-9UT before the Spit XIV or P-47N, just because it too was on the list Pyro put out a month or two ago, and its one of the simplest "varients" to do.

I've never heard of the Il-2 being introduced in AH, by anyone from HTC.
But I hope I'm just a bit deaf and we get a nice suprise. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

One problem is that I'm not at all sure where the lines between "variants", "mods" and "all new aircraft" are.
Seems to me the boundaries are fuzzy. Before seeing the list I would have thought of the Tempest as "all new" and the Dora as a "variant."
Though upon further reflection I could easily see where both are "mods."
What about the P-47N? It's not just a new skin...the wing shape is significantly different..does that make it a mod instead of a variant?

Ok, Karnak.....then, I want Japanese planes party in v1.07!
BTW its list would be cool. I like Spit series and Russian planes. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
-
I predict there will be a FW-190D-9
Of course, all of my prior predictions have been wrong.....

hmmmmm many jap planes in v1.07?
so I want them in it (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Ki-61 for my squadron
Ki-100 for my squadron
Ki-84 for getting Air Superiority in MA
Ki-44 for intercept
Ki-67 for bomber/torpedo attack
Ki-57 for paratroopers(it's faster than C47/11 troops can be carried)
Ki-102 for Jabo
Ki-43 for killing P-51D (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Sorry, of course it's a joke.....but I hope that I can see these planes in Aces High some day. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Dont say jap.
Its a racist slurr. Havent you heard.

The Hurricane gotta be in there..its gotta be =P
I think a Betty bomber will also be introduced. Nihonjin need a buff.
-
Pongo,
Yes....I know another meaning of jap.
I'm native Japanese. But we shouldn't say "don't say jap" forever. It's old story. I think almost people of the young generation don't mind deeply about another meaning of "Jap".
so I will say jap for short version of Japanese sometimes.
Thanks for care. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Mitsu,
I believe Pongo knows you are Japanese and he was being clever. (I couldn't find how to spell festicious?)
I still hold out hope for the P-40B!

My signature has a couple of links to pictures of 4-engine Japanese aircraft that would be nice for perks. Probably not a lot of them made.

What about the LVT that were suppose to be included in 1.05 but left out to get it out in reasonable time.
No IL-2 in this round then I guess.
-
IL2 and Ki61 would probly be the only usefull planes in the list that would fit well with the current planeset. Maybe a couple more 190A varients. It's obviously time time tho to get a seperate area or even arena for early war planes. A seperate arena for "perk" planes would be good too... I suggest it be in a WB arena.

Fw190F-8 has been added. The list is still good.

Just a little specualtion here, but with 1.06 comes the arrival of a perk bomber and perk fighter... anybody else think that there's a chance there will also be a perk GV?

Thought I'd bump this en-leu of Midnight's post.

Ok, 4 variants, 2 mods, 2 all new planes.
Now, it's for certain:
Variants:
FW-190F8
Yak-9T
All New:
Ar234B.
Now is:
The LA-7 a variant or a mod?
The Tempest a mod or all new?
The Ta152 a mod or all new?
In any event, we've still got two planes to go :-)
-
Torgo, you list the YakT as a varient of the Yakolev 9U, so I would list the La-7 the same way. They are both pretty much improved versions of the older designs.
The Ta152 would be all new. It is based on the FW 190, but only some prototypes used Fw190 airframes. They built new airframes for production ones. New wings, new fuselage, new engine...not much left to call it a Fw190.
Tempest is a bit of a puzzle. Since the British didn't designate it a Typhoon Mk II, I would call it a new design. They seemed to think it was a new design, so why should we second guess them?
Hans.
-
So there's probably one all-new a/c and one mod/variant still unknown?
Another bomber is otw perhaps?
P-47M?
F4U-4?
A post 1941 Spitfire?
-
Ar234 - new
Ta152 - new
Yak9t - varient
La7 - varient
FW190-F8 - varient
????? - varient
TempestV - mod
????? - mod
-
That's the way I think list of new kites is gonna break down. Though IMO the Yak9T should be a mod, it's not really a varient of the Yak9U we have now (it's earlier war, not the UT several of us were hoping for).
Best guesses on the remaining varient and remaining modified?
-
We have smooth coast line now.
Please release LVT!
-Mitsu
-
Spit XIV and P-51H- they are the logical antithesis of the Ta-152, and would make it a total of 5 planes that would be earned through perks.

I would like an HE-111 =) A mosquito would be pretty cool too! But most of all, I'd like a BF-110
-
please no p41 h
much rather have p47-m
