Actually the He162 saw combat, so it fits the criteria

EDIT: Not that I'm disagreeing. I agree with most of what's been said.

As crazy as this may sound to some of you, the He-162 wasn't made for long term flight(GASPH)! Now talkin about airplanes that we should have that were used alot during the war, well.......

Mig-3
Gladiator
Swordfish
P-39
FW-200
Sherman Tank
B-29(of Course)
Ki-43
Il-4
He-111
Ju-52(i'm not crazy)

Thats about all I can think of off the top of my head.

nice list. would like to add a Beaufighter though, with torp capability. would fill a nice niche attack/torp carrying capability as well as giving the allies an early war attack aircraft for PTO, ETO and MTO

To stay off topic, I believe we will receive a submarine shortly. I've heard one of the HTC members (might've been Skuzzy) his grandfather was a submariner so they're interested in it.

These are but rumours, but I found this one rather tempting

Btw, here are is a picture of the pilot's view from the Do-335;

(from a game called Pacific-Fighters)

Man I love Cockpits with lots of gauges and gadgets. I think after HTC makes ToD they should make a sercet planes over Europe type thing for those who want to fly and hold these planes that would never or see little combat.

I really don't think pilots of the Do-335 would've had a bad sight, it's like the Ju-88, you can see from it just fine too

So, they finally got the DO-335 in pacific fighters eh? Sweetness. I gotta reinstall that game now.

XF-11 would be nice.

i believe it was Pyro's Grandfather, though i could be wrong.

that's form an OLD interview i read on the interent by Pyro... i think it was from 2001.... though i can not find it, and i may be wrong.

I'd like a real REASON to have the Sunderland or PBY or Condor (dream, dream). Maybe even a Grumman Duck?

Salamander would be far from uber tho -- postwar testing at Edwards found it to be a MONSTER to control. Experienced test pilots found it highly unstable in flight -- and in this regard, it was a miserable failure since it was designed as a "peoples fighter" you could use with suboptimally trained newbie pilots.

moneyguy · « **Reply #43 on:** February 04, 2006, 07:03:55 PM »

it would be nice to launch a bomber from a CV. a PBY maybe
