HiTech posted the film of the train. Its a safe bet that trains are coming in 1.08.
Pyro posted a request for images of the cockpit views of the Tu-2. I'm betting the Tu-2 is comming in 1.08.
Some others have apparently been told of, and recieved screenshots via email, the P-51H Mustang. It seems that the P-51H Mustang will be added as a perk plane in 1.08.
1) Trains & roads (Confirmed)
2) Me262 (Confirmed)
3) Hurricane MkIIc (Confirmed)
4) Tu-2 (Hinted at)
5) P-51H Mustang (Hinted at by the FDB, so consider the source)
6) Tiger II (Hinted at by Hangtime)
Anybody know of anything else? (I know there is more, I just don't know if anybody who is a liberty to say anything knows.)

262 pretty PLEASE!! :D
-
Are you sure about the Tu-2?
I saw pyro asking for screenshots of the cockpit... but does that mean they want to include it in 1.08 or that it is being developed for release at a later date?

DeeZCamp,
Yes, the Me262 will be a obvious perk fighter when, and I ephasize "when", it is added.
However, this thread is intended to be about things that we have information indicating that they are comming, not our wishlists.
AKDejaVu,
No, I'm not sure. The Tu-2 falls under the "hinted at" category. Every time they've done this before the aircraft has been in the next version.

Looks like Me-262 and Hurri IIc :)
-

---====!!!!!!!! 262 !!!!!!====----
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

MOre anti-Luftwaffe bias from Grapevine. Unbelievable!
The Brits get the Hurricane II and the Jerries get stuck with the Me-262.
When will it end? When will the poor downtrodden Jerries get a fair shake from HTC?
Anyone for a Spit XIV? Oops, sorry RAF.. that just wouldn't be sporting, now would it? Stiff upper lips, old chaps.
;)
BTW, the -262 should be unperked. They should ALL be unperked. :D
-
:(
-
I know, let's bring in the Hurricane, Fairy Battle, Defiant, Spit I, Blenheim, Gloster Gladiator and Supermarine Swordfish. Then when the Brits whine they haven't got any unperked late war fighters, we can tell them to shut up because they have more planes than anyone else.
Karnak, I wish I hadn't edited that remark you thought was "too harsh"

Double post

In case u dont know--Hurri IIc is more of a mid-war tankbuster. 2x40mm Vickers S, and 2x.303's.
-
Ding,
That's the Hurri IId. The IIc has 4 Hispano cannon with 91 rounds each.
Its a 334mph 1941 target for your Me262 to squish at will.
-
Ground war expansion!
Tiger Tanks are commin in 1.08
Skernsk told me... and he has 'sources'.
-
Damn Karnak buck up man, it's not all that bad. Keep in mind that the only sources of the P51H rumor are FDBs, who are known to be unreliable at best. ;) And the 262 is, as Pyro put it, "the ultimate perk" and I would guess it's gonna be damned pricey and more of a risk to bombers than fighters as it buzzes around like an annoying knat.
Out of curiosity, what IS a viable British fighter to compete in the MA or CT?

SOB,
At this point I don't think there ia a viable, non-perk British fighter. Even the 1943 Spitfire LF.MkIX would almost certainly be perked.
If the game focused on the most balanced year, when the war was still in contention, there would be lots of interesting aircraft from all nations that could be added. That year is 1943.
As it is, things like the Mosquito, Me410, Pe-2, ect, ect are simply going to be sitting duck targets to all of this 1944/45 stuff that the Germans and Americans keep getting (OK, all of the Japanese stuff is 1944 as well).
We already have example in the forms of the Il-2 and TBM-3.
-
Where are the allied tanks?
SKurj
-
Skurj, no more Allied ground equipment can be modeled until we get the rest of the German armor on line.
This is all just another part of the "Allied Conspiracy", as is the careful selection of British aircraft.
It's a devious plan and if we told ya we'd have to kill ya. However, it will all become clear eventually. ;)

Wanna add Ju-88 in that list of yours Karnak ?
What year did AH's Ju-88 came in service? B-26? B-17? Lanc ?
-
Staga,
I'm not sure the Ju88A-4 would be competitive in 1943, that is why I didn't include it in my list.
There are other German bombers from 1943 that would be competitive in a 1943 arena, but not in the 1945 arena that the US and LW units are creating in AH. Things like the Do217, Ju188 and He177.
-
It's Blue!
-
About bloody time for Spit XIV. P51H, hmmm, hmmmm.
Who cares as long 262 is here ;)
-
Oh yes, P47M as perk Jug too.
-
hristo will you be in the MA and HA for 262 sorties?
