Gloster Gladiator (It was flown in the early parts of WW2 until replaced by the hurricane)
Bristol Beaufighter
Fiat CR.42 Falco (A historic foe of the Gladiator)
Mitsubishi A5M "Claude"
Boeing P-26 "Peashooter"
Brewster F2A "Buffalo"
Polikarpov I-16
Nakajima Ki-27
Breda Ba.65
Breda Ba.88
Caproni Ca.133
Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 (Perked for EW, unperked for midwar)
Blackburn Roc
Blackburn Skua
Ilyushin Il-4 DB3 model
Boulton Paul Defiant
P-36 Hawk
Tupolev SB
Fairey Swordfish (and for LW Fairey Barracuda)
Fairey Albacore
Bristol Beaufort
Bristol Blenheim
Fairey Battle
Handley Page Hampden
Tupolev TB-3
Grumman F3F
P-43 Lancer
P-66 Vanguard

IM sure there are more that could fit in well in the EW/MW sets to flesh them out and allow those of us who enjoy being in them to NOT get stuck with ultra limited planesets. Adding them may not be too popular with the LW crowd but come on, How many EW planes are there compared to LW planes? Give us a few to tinker around with while you wait for your next fighters.

I dunno, I like the idea of adding the other bi-plane fighters as well.

Id just like to see more EW planes. Sure they couldnt compete well in the LW areans but not everything needs to be LW approved just to have them installed.

I like the Brewster F2A, SM.79, I-16, and Beaufighter. Love the Swordfih but I highly doubt it would have any success in AH.

It would be about as useful as the other torpedo planes... just give it bombs and you could use it similar to a B5N or D3A1

"...
Boulton Paul Defiant
..."

Wow. Never thought I'd see *this* turkey on the wishlist. (And I seem to have fairly oddball tastes, too.) I salute you Relorian, for asking for the unexpected.

Hitting HT and company with a wish list of more than three planes (or combination of planes, vehicles, things that float) that aren't wanted by 50% or more of the community (including HT and company*) is probably a futile exercise, at best.

*Most importantly that.

Not that I don't share some dreams with yas but .... well ....

What can I say, ive got a softspot for fighter/bomber interceptors with a large rear gunner pod

Its an interesting looking plane the Boulton Paul Defiant

And while most people over look early war, Ive been having a blast in there. Id just love to see more planes available to those of us who do choose to forgo the Latewar arena's... and about 90% of the list would do the trick.

Im not deluded though, i know that the odds are low, but its christmastime... we can hope can we not?
