Title: My aircraft wish list
Post by: oboe on September 29, 2002, 08:01:33 AM
I could be hoping in vain for these, but they would all add greatly to event possibilities and setups in the Combat Theater.   The Ki.84 would probably also see alot of use in the Main Arena.
 
USAAF
    P-38F
    P-39D/P-400

IJN
    B5N
    A6M3 Model 22 Riesen
    J2M3a Raiden

JAAF
    Ki.44 Shoki
    Ki.84 Hayate
    Ki.45 Toryu

I'd add the B6N2 or B7A2 to your list.  A later carrier bomber would be nice to counter the TBM with.

A G4M2 or Ki.21-II would be nice so that the Allies don't have to face the nearly unstoppable Ki-67 in early war setups.

The B-25B would be nice so that the Japanese don't have to stop the nearly uninterceptable Boston Mk III in early war setups.

The H8K2 would be nice so that the Japanese would have a bomber with a real warload.

An F6F-3 would be nice so that the Hellcat could be used in 1943 setups and actually perform like a 1943 Hellcat.  10mph matters.


(The J2M3a is unlikely as only 12 were made.  The J2M3 is not unreasonable though.)

Yeah...Ki-84 is 1st priority japanese plane...
and japanese bomber...I think IJN G4M should be released first...
but, IJA Ki-21-II would be also nice for early war... :)

some Ki-21-II stuffs:

P400 is a P39D with 20mm that the Bristish bought then rejected after being disapointed with it's performance in Europe. The rest of the order was then used by USAAF pilots in the Pacific. I would love to fly this plane against A6M2 in scenarios.

All I can say is this, pick a perioud HTC and flesh out that plane set for the Japanese, early or late make a stand:)

how about some more luftwaffe bombers. we have to many amerian planes as it is and not enough japanese/ british planes (funnny but the jap and brit planes we have are all called dweeb planes...)

Yeah Vorticon but for the time being the 3  of the countries that are seriously lacking in airplanes are the Russians , Japanese and Italians. I think HTC should concentrate on filling up that planeset. Perhaps later, they could come back and upgrade the Poly count on the older 109s .

Worse it has no supercharger which means it cant function in an interceptor role as they found out during Guadalcanal.  There are rather significant performance changes between the 2 aside from the armament.

vorticon,

Actually I think the RAF planeset is the closest to being completely usable for any war period.  They still need an early war bomber (the 340mph Boston Mk III doesn't count), say a Blenheim or Wellington.  They need an early heavy strike aircraft, a Beaufighter would do nicely.  And they need a air superiority fighter between the Spitfire F.Mk IX and Spitfire F.Mk XIV, a Spitfire Mk VIII would fit very well I think, its Roman numeral would even keep some people in the less effective by higher numbered Mk IX.

How about workin on planes for the countries that REALLY need planes, Like Italy, Sweeden/Norway,Early-midwar Russia, China, Finland etc.
And we really need a B5NKate for the midway scenario!

Here are the planes I think we *need* over the next few patchs:

B5NKate,
GlosterGladiator (Sweedish or RAF)
Cr.42,
Some italian bomber like a CantZ or whatever they used allot in med,
Ki43/44/45,
I-153 & I-16 (if we get one we gotta get the other),
Early and Late war luftwaffe bomber (I think ju88 suits late war, but lotsa ppl want a bigger bomber for the LW, and Ju88 is *Almost* too good for some of the early war scenarios.),
Some Chinese stuff,
And some more russian and finish stuff.

Oh yeah and a Ju87 stuka, but im 99% sure that will be in next patch or 2 and hitech even said they will definitly add it, so I'm not too worried about that right now.

I'd like to see a P-40N... they were quite common in the Russian air force through the lend-lease program. Either in Russian or AVG colors.

Every time you put up another Interiour Mitsu, I realy get eager for more Japanes planes:)

 Mitsu can you post the ISBN number for one of the books in that series so I can order one and start my collection of them. I would realy love to add some more Books on the Japanes planes. TY:)
