Ki-44 Tojo
Ki-100 Type 5 Army Fighter
Ki-45 Nick
J2M2 Jack
G4M2 Betty
B6N2 Jill
B5N2 Kate
D3A2 Val

F4F Wildcat
SBD Dauntless
B25 Mitchell

Well, I agree about the USN planes, but surely they can wait.  We really need a greater variety of Japanese fighters.  Heck, we desperately need a Japanese bomber!

I think we should be able to get both Japanese planes and USN planes.  Why does it have to be one or the other?

I want to see more Japanese planes, definitely, but I also want to see more planes that can fly off the CV's.  SBD and F4F would be good additions (plus, they are not the "uber" planes that many seem to be afraid of here).  But, oops, that would be too many US planes in the game, and we can't have that.

There ya go!  Couldn't say it better myself - maybe add some new Japanese fighters while they're at it.  :)

Best russian bomber (AFAIK) in WW2 is propably coming already (Tu-2) and its also propably late-war variant.

Tu-2 First large series was built '43->
Tu-2S Early '44->
Tu-2D '44

I sure would like to see middle-latewar German bomber.
Like He-177  :)

What would be realy cool is If they aded a late war Japanese Carier Buff/ atack/torpedo plane like the Jill or Grace. The idea of them taking time to do a New US plane (not so much a new model of a existing plane)before they add a plane for Italy or Japan realy pains me.

If you bring in the Wildcat (and more so the P40, which has been requested quite a bit) you need to bring in the A6M2 Zero.  Shouldn't be much different other than the spiffy all light grey skin and different performance variables than our current Zeke.  Of course that could be because I want a flimsy Zero to shoot at!   :p

I would like to offer support for the idea of fleshing out the PTO plane set.  Especially the early-war planes.  Except for the N1K and maybe a few F4Us flying around, MA strikes me as really being an ETO theater and that just doesn't float my boat.

CT would be the perfect place for a few early-war PTO plane sets.  Heck, I wonder how it would go if the terrain was all water with a certain number of CV's floating around and it became a matter of CV attrition.  Kill 'em all and the CT rotates.

The 205 had provisions for 320kg of bombs, but they were rarely used in the war. Ehem like the N1k. HTC should put them in, not that hard to do.

SM 79 torpedo and level bomber!

Yes, you have 2 F4Us in the planeset, soon to be 3. Dont forget the Hellcat and TBM. I think that there are alredy enough US Navy planes , so let HTC work in some japanese carrier planes and a decent level bomber before getting more US planes.

At least is what I think.

Yep more Japanese planes, right after we get some more RAF planes.   :)

Seriously, we need more IJAAF/IJNAF aircraft.  They don't get the publicity that certain other countries' planes get.  There seem to be a lot of Japanese players in AH, but due either to a language barrier or good manners, they don't complain too much.

Who'd complain with a N1K2-J Shiden?

  :D

 ..

 Seriously though, I'd also like to see more JP planes. As I mentioned before, personally I think the two most planes we need are Spitfire MkXIV and Ki-84.

I can't see HTC making accurate fms for little know japenese and italian planes.
They would have to dig deep to get em.
Not the case with US planes.
For Japanese fighter i vote Ki-100
For Italian fighter i vote for Re 2005
There semi uber planes in quality like the 190, spit, p51 yak etc. in short there real good.
Id like russian version lisence built C47 called the Li2. Better engine and armed.
Rear gunner on top of fuesalage and bombs!

We've got the best naval / carrier battle groups in any online flight sim.

We've got two of the best maps in Mindanao and the Phillipines.

We're sorely lacking the planeset to go with the above.

Personally if 1.09 was the 'PAC pack,' and nothing else, I'd be happy as larry  :)

Rightly said!

IJN, IJAF is lacking much representation here.

Wholeheartedly agree!

The Japanese planeset is woefully underrepresented.  For competition's sake I'd rather see more late-war Japanese planes, like the D4Y "Judy" carrier dive bomber, the B6N "Jill" carrier torpedo bomber, the Ki-67 "Peggy" level bomber, and off course the Ki-84 "Frank" fighter.   And I can think of 2 or 3 more that would be nice additions.

Count me in!

Late war carrier attack planes like already mentioned.
Japanese hvy & med bombers
US Dive bomber & p40.

Seaplanes, Mavis, Emily, PBY (ok so thats a long term project)
