10 Plane Choices for AH1.09
« on: November 01, 2001, 06:39:00 PM »
Knowing that HTC likes to make mods of existing aircraft before building totally new aircraft, here's my wish list of 10 aircraft for AH1.09

Mods

Hurri IIa
Yak-9D
Mossie B Mk.4
A6M3 (Clipped wing)
Spit Mk Vb (Clipped wing)

New
Ki-44 (the 190A5 is competitive here, so this should be as well)
Ki-67 (Maybe, ya think? )
Tu-2
Me-410 (maybe Me-110, but 410 fits current planeset better)
B-24

Edited: I don't know why I had the Ki-44 under mods! It is now under the 'new' category where it should be.

We need to build up Russian and Japenese plane set.

Lagg3, Mig1 a few more variants of the Zeke & Ki ..

Then i would love to see a push on the twin engine planes. There where many made by all countries. The list would be enless...

Perfect New:
1) Ki-67-I-b (Best bomber in IJA)
2) Ki-84-I-a (Best fighter in IJA)
3) Ki-44-II-b (12.7mm only, but Great Intercepter in IJA)
4) Ki-43-III-a (The latest model of IJA's main fighter)
5) Ki-102-I-b (Better than Ki-45, it has deadly 57mm cannon)

Mods:
6) Ki-61-II (heavy, not turnable, but better ammo, faster than any Tony models)
7) Ki-61-I-b (12.7mm only, but it's lighter, faster than I-KAIc, good for events)
8) Ki-100-I-b (Good ammo, turnable, last  fighter in IJA)
9) Ki-44-II-c (Be a Sniper, 40mm rocket is hard to hit to B-29!)
10) Ki-109 (Eat 75mm Cannon...)

Oops!
I'm under a delusion.  :D

Priorities from top to bottom:

  Ki-84
  Ki-43
  Ki-67
  Yak-1B
  P-40B
  F4-F Wildcat
  Bf-109E7
  Spitfire MkIa
  Hurricane MkI
  Ju-87B  

 ...

 This should fill in the gaps of early war AC in Pacific and Europe nicely  :)

Kweassa,

Why the Bf109E-7?

I notice you've suggested that in the past as well.

The true BoB 109 would be a Bf109E-4.

Matching the Spit Ia with the E-7 looks like you're trying to slide a quick one in the mix to give a favored aircraft an advantage.

Bf109E-4 and Spitfire MkIa

or

Bf109E-7 and Spitfire MkIIa

would seem to be matching sets.

For my part, I'd like to see:

Tu-2S (I don't know what the status is on this.  Hopefully HTC has what they need)
P-40 of some kind
B7A Grace or B6N Jill (preferably Grace)
Ki-84-Ia
Me410B-2
Spitfire MkIa
Bf109E-4
Hurricane MkI
Bf110C-4
Automated merchant ships moving at about 12 knots

Ki-67 is a definate. It was announced by Pyro in hiw last "news" post.

I hope 1.09 has a few Japanese A/C in it.

My choices would be Ki.67, Ki.84, D4Y (340+ mph carrier based divebomber), B6N Tenzan (Japanese torpedo bomber).

The SB2C and FM-2 would fill out the late-war CV planeset - the Pac scenarios could began in earnest.

Sooner or later we'll need a Spit 14, a Yak-3, and a P-47M.

The E7 is just an E4 with a drop tank carrying option. Karnak you must be thinking of one of the E7Z variants with the stronger engine, well there was an E4Z too.

I'd prefer new airframes.  We have enough spits, 109's, FW190's, F4's...  Just seems more appealing to have something new to fiddle with rather than MORE mods of stuff we have.
