Pyro can finish the P-63. And add the He 112B for a cool little early war plane.

Post by: Krod on August 02, 1999, 07:22:00 AM: Pyro, I hope you still have the documentation that I sent you regarding bomb loadouts for the Spit 9. A centerline 500 lber and 2x 250 lber on the wings. Only used on good runways (ETO). The PTO guys tended towards using only the 500 lber, as the runways were bad, and the wing-mounted 250's put excess strain on the wings during takeoff. The MTO pilots seem to have used just the 250's for some reason - perhaps because they were the first to mount bombs on the Spit (2x 250's on the Mk.V's wings).

Post by: Windle on August 02, 1999, 10:37:00 AM: Definately the F4U-1 or F4U-1A to preceed the F4U-1D. (Possibly even the F4U-1C)

The F4U-1A had the same horsepower as the F4U-1D, was slightly lighter with no outboard ordinance, and was THE definative Corsair of WWII (ie. VMF-214 'Blacksheep Squadron', VF-17 'Jolly Rogers', etc). It also had an extra brace on each side of the canopy unlike the later F4U-1D models.

The F4U-1 was the infamous 'birdcage' Corsair with its heavily reinforced canopy. It was slightly lighter but it also didn't have the water/methanol injection of the F4U-1A and later variants.

*I believe the F4U-1C is also a viable option for modeling. It flew in combat with VMF-311, VMF-441, VBF-8, VBF-85, VBF-99, and the infamous VF-84 (featured F4U-1D scheme in WB's) and possibly other squads also. Lt. Joe D. Robbins claimed 4 kills in one sortie in the F4U-1C while flying with VBF-8! Not one of the more numerous types of Corsair that fought in WWII but definately well bloodied.

I fell in love with the plane during the NG scenerio and although I get my prettythang handed to me more often then not in it I still love it. While I'm wishing how about the version with the supercharged Merlin the P-40N I think?

Post by: kkoori on August 03, 1999, 03:13:00 AM: The Australian CA-12 Boomerang!!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Aircraft from other nationalities such as:

Italian : SM-79, CR-42

Soviet : IL-2, SB-2, TU-2

US : PBY Catalina, Brewster Buffalo

Japanese : "Nick"

These types of aircraft should be modelled before all these sub-variants of the F4U Corsair are done - having 4 flavours of F4U and *no* other aircraft that played equally or more important roles in WORLD War Two just isn't right.

OK, I confess: behind the nickname of SPARVIERO hides itself "luigip" of 4°Stormo Caccia in WB, working in the shadow in order to finally get some Italian planes in a WWII flying combat sim! Will he and his sqaud mates be successful sometimes, somewhere, over the rainbow? ;-))

Post by: Downtown on August 05, 1999, 08:10:00 AM: Hey why not the Republic P-43 Lancer.

B-26 configured to carry torpedos, so we can get them all shot down in a Midway Scenario.

V1 would be cool, so we could tip them.

Only reason I see to have V2 is so we could strafe them on the launch pad.

What was the little curtis biplane the Chinese had, the Japanese just loved shooting them down. P-26?

Post by: Flathat on August 05, 1999, 08:56:00 AM: Some excellent suggestions. I'll second the calls for the Buffalo and the MiGs & Lavochkins. Just for the heck of it, how about the navalized Bf-109 and Ju 87 to operate from the *Graf Zeppelin*. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

And no planeset is complete without the Stringbag, Falco and Gladiator. At least that way, if the worst happens I can still get some sort of "struts & wires" fix, although I'll prbably still be seriously pining for my beloved Spad.

It will be nice and, above all, historically correct to have some other planes, especially italian planes:
the fighters Fiat CR42, G55, Macchi MC200-MC202-MC205, Reggiane RE2005 and the buffs Siai Marchetti SM79 (the famous "Damned Hunchback") and Cant Z1007.
Then i would say the Gloster Gladiator, Bristol Beaufighter, Bristol Beaufort, Bristol Blenheim, Fairey Swordfish for the Mediterranean front and the russian planes for the eastern front.
And finally I would say: Heinkel He111, Dornier Do17/Do217, Junkers Ju88/Ju188, Arado Ar234, Dornier Do335, Ta152, Heinkel He219, Henschel Hs129.

Post by: Downtown on August 05, 1999, 10:31:00 PM: I read the first few pages of a Clive Cussler Book once, and Dirk Pitt was flying a PBY when someone in a WWI Biplane fighter starts attacking them. Well old Dirk gets a 303, or 308 Rifle and sticks it out the back of the PBY and shoots down the WWI Biplane fighter. So the PBY can be dangerous if in the right hands.

Do you understand why I don't read Clive Cussler.

I happen to know that Pyro has a special liking for the Tigercat, but it never actually saw combat AFAIK.

Another wonderful twin-engined fighter that just missed combat was the DH Hornet. Think of it as a Mosquito, but smaller, lighter, and even faster.

Regarding the prospective F4U variants:

I'll be brave and vote for the F4U-1C (cannon-armed F4U-1A) in place of the standard F4U-4 model. For gameplays sake we'd be trading the -4's extra power and loadout capability for bigger guns only. The F4U-1C was built purely for ACM and strafing runs. F4U-1C's were deployed in the Pacific Theatre just a few months before the F4U-4 model. There were only 200 manufactured but all of them saw active combat duty flying with VMF-311, VBF-99, VMF-441, VBF-8, some with VF-84, etc. In one case of combat, Lt. Joe D. Robbins scored 4 of his 5 kills in one sortie using the F4U-1C! It's a bloodied airplane and definately deserves its place among the other worthy fighters of WWII. Of course it doesn't necessarily deserve PRIORITY mind you. Even if it is #50 on the modeling list, it would be nice to have a hand at the controls of the F4U-1C.

Post by: Crapgame on August 20, 1999, 01:18:00 AM: Why is it whenever we see this thread there is an outcry from the LW types for the Ta152?
How about concentrating on the early war and on types that saw more service. I also disagree with all the folks crying out for the F8F and F7F. They didn't see combat and the case is better made for the Ta152 than either of those. Let's keep this a WW2 sim, not a what if game.

As to my plane of choice. I agree with Nopoop, just gimme a P47 with correct FM and the 8x.50s. We all know that the Jug was the real workhorse of the 8th AF and the plane that brought the fight to the LW. If a Ta152 does appear then I will be forced to howl long and loud for a P47M and P47N both of which undoubtedly saw more service.

Guys we REALLY need a Jug done right. I mean no disrespect to past work, but the P47 of WB is NOT the plane Johnson describes in Thunderbolt. It bleeds E far too quickly and has a horrible roll rate. Those barn door ailerons could get that plane rolling!

This is anecdotal but, look at how fearless Johnson and the rest of his group were in the Jug. They were absolutely confident in that plane. In WB you have to be in the right place at the right speed, or else you're going to get eaten alive.

Post by: Quixotic on August 20, 1999, 04:32:00 PM: I tend to fly British Empire planes, so my plane wishlist is generally filled. One glaring error in Warbirds, though, has to be the exclusion of the Lancaster. Though I don't often fly bombers, I can't imagine what kind of buff jockey would pass up the opportunity to fly the beautiful Lancaster with it's unbeatable payload. I would very much like to see this plane included in Aces High.

Additionaly, I would like support the idea of the development of early to mid-war types, as opposed to the late war monsters. The late war planes become less and less representative of the WW2 air-combat experience and tend to inhibit the use of the earlier types.

In the main screen of the Aces High web site this game is called a flight sim with WWII vintage aircraft nowhere does it says WWII combat flight sims. There fore if it flew and it can be modeled accurately then lets have it. Why limit this to a narrow time in history and shorten its growth potential. For those of you that say these super plane will rule the game I dont see that in WB when the new ones come along, On the last day of TOD I still see p40's zero's and others. By saying a plane cant qualify because it did not see action is being very narrow minded, if t was made in that time it is VINTAGE WWII.

Lets make this easy for Pyro and HT

He, he..with all the planes that we suggested in this thread, they d prolly have to crank out planes for the next five years straight b4 they could start working on strat, flight model, damage model, etc...
Considering this I d be happy with just the basics for starters:
First Plane set (1943ish)

B-17
B-25
He 111
Ju 88
Me 109 G (dunno which exact number)
FW-190 A4 (A6)
P-51 B (possibly with spit hood)
F6F or F4U (one blue plane should be nough for starters (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) )
P-38 J
Spitfire Mk. 9 and/or 5
Yak-9
A6M5a
Ki-61 or Ki 43
Oh yeah and as an extra special wish:
A ground attack plane like the IL-2 Sturmovik, or that german 2 engined Schlachtflugzeug..err He 129, Hs 129?
But preferrably the IL-2 cause it was the better plane and produced in far greater numbers.

Can t wait to see if I guessed better than in the "name the bullet" contest in the O-Club.

Nice plane set there with one glaring problem. For a 1943 planeset to be representative of the USAAF, they need the P47 not the P51B which didn't see service until very late in 1943. The Jug took the fight to the Luftwaffe long before the Pony.
