Could it be we will get the P51B/C or a Mustang III and the P51H this release?
I hope!

It's a Luftwaffe heavy release, so I wouldna be surprised if one of the 2 unvieled kites is another LW kite. Could even be the D9 so many waffles want so badly (it was on the list with the Yak9UT (which turned in a Yak9T (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif) ), Ta152, and others), but a 109-E model wouldna surprise me either (buncha people want those too).
The other one I think is gonna be American iron, a varient on something we already have. F4U-1A (would be nice (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) ), P-51B/C or even H, or maybe the P-47M/N. Fits with the new/mod/varient numbers listed in other threads anyway.
Of course there's the possibility of a couple of Jap kites, but I recall mention of 1.07 being a navy heavy release so I'm kinda expecting alot of IJN planes in 1.07.
And with all that being typed I wouldna be surprised if I'm totally off the mark on everything (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I saw on a post a while back that Pyro mentioned we will be getting the Mustang MkIII 'Eventually'.
My guess for one of the two planes to come will be either:
P51 B/C (Mustang Mk III)
P51 H (Perked - of course)
[Spat preys to the gods of fortune that he gets a Mk III (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)]
-
P-38J and P-38D.
change the camo, crappier engines and in the D's case, put a 37mm cannon instead of the 20mm (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
-
I'll guess the either,
The Ki-61/Ki-100 combo
or
Me-410 and P-47N

The 51H would be very cool. But I think they will hesitate befor introducing something that never saw service(combat?) in WW2. But I sure hope we do get it...
-
Hmm...I don't think the B-29...too many polys and such, get up close FR drops to hell. Perhaps a Mustang MkIII or the Dora, but wouldn;t be surprised to see more Jap planes, or even Italian plane...

I was told the G.55 "Centauro" and the SM79 "Sparviero" torpedo-bomber will be the last two planes for 1.06 ... sorry guys, I've bribed SUPERFLY (24 bottles of Brunello di Montalcino red wine) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

BRING THE P61B TO ACES HIGH!~
(Disclaimer, booze in the mail if it arrives before 2005, hey, been waiting 11 years, whats 4 more!)

With 8 planes in the release don't expect for one of the "unannounced" to be a bomber.
Bombers take up almost as many art resources per position as one complete fighter (approximately).
I would expect to see two more varients of some sort.
Maybe a P-51 varient, the Dora, or a P-38 of some type.
Edit: After rethinking this a bit, you might see a bomber... varient that is. Maybe a early B-17F, or a Ju-88 varient.

Gonna have to agree with Sundog.

I'm gonna say it is at least one Japanese bird. Prolly the Ki-84 or Ki-44. If you look at there listed performance numbers they are very similer (not the 100octane test).
Look for something that bring something new to the game too. The next bird after that is 100% gauranteed to be the
P-47N
Clipped wings/Better roll. Same performance as the M when not using extra tanks. Great high alt bird to compete with TA-152. No question here.
Will get my F4U-4 later, sigh...

Just got off the phone with the bartender down at the little bar 1/2 mile down the street from the HTC office.
You want the "straight scoop", you have to know who to call! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
He says last nite Super and Nate were in there quaffing a few root beers and arguing over paint schemes for the Bearcat.
Apparently they also had some Squadron Signal pubs on the Spit XIV.
So, get your crying towels ready. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

my guess is the KI-100. I remember i think it was pyro saying that it was probably goign to be the next Japanese fighter. the the japanese need some more planes.

Dang if that's the case I would rather see the Ki-84. That's MFO of course. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I'd sure like a post-1942 Spit or a Mosquito. For the MA.
But for scenarios we really need a Soviet bomber/attack aircraft and a Japanese bomber/attack aircraft.

did HT say there would be 2 other planes? i think there will be 1 more plane and some kind of troop carrying boat. my thinking?
-we really need one cause it takes too long to fly the goon that distance
-we already have a pt boat so it would probably be pretty easy to model another boat
-HT already said the new version would have beaches, why would he put beaches in? cause we need some place to drop the troops off from teh boat.
what boats did they use in europe for beach invasions? you know the kind where the front opens and all the trops run out and onto the beach.

U mean, run into the enemy fire.
-
Yea Peeradow, the kind in the start of the movie Saving Private Ryan. where the germans just sat there and aimed at the boats, then when they opened the troops just got mowed down. the only way to survive was to go over the side. i'm looking for them, i'll post when i find what they are called.

They were landing craft Hog.. I think LSVs or LVTs or LSTs or some abbreviation like that. I know it begins with a L! ;-)

Seawulf,
LVT = Landing Vehicle; tank
LST = Landing Ship; tank
LSV = Landing Ship; vehicle
What they used mostly in WW2 for landings was the Higgins boat. It was made mostly from wood, with steel plates here and there for some protection. There was another boat, the LCI (Landing Craft; infantry) which was used for landing troops. Unlike the Higgins boat it was metal and not wood.
