Just give us HE111 (sure)  and p61 blackwidow (I'd love to see it, but not important to the game at all).

As Greebo mentioned, some mid-war common aircraft are missing that would be invaluable to AvA, FSO, Snapshots, etc., but probably wouldn't be as well received in the LW arenas.

These would be, specifically, by country...

Ki-43
Ki-27
G4M

Yak-1
SB-2
Pe-4

SM.79
C.200
G.50

He-111
Ju-52

Beaufighter
Blenheim
Wellington

These aircraft would pretty much open up the 'historical' areas of AH, AvA, FSO, Snapshots, etc.

While I understand that most of these aircraft would never be used in the LW, there's certainly a valid argument for having them.

While a tank-buster Stuka would be a neat addition to the game, plus it would fill up a necessary gap in German tank killing capability, it isn't the most needed plane in the game. The Wellington, Pe-4 Pe-2 Ki-43 and other planes from other planesets are more important.

Which is why I left the He-111 at the top of the list.  But Stuka Tank-busters  and 20mm armed Stuka's are my personal top pick. Especially since HTC can include them with and update to the Stuka's Loadout.

I would love to see the Ki27 and Ki43. While not likely to see a lot of MA action, they would allow us to run proper scenarios based on arguably the most storied WW2 fighter unit the AVG Flying Tigers.

Not to mention the Ki27 I-16 match up would be useful in early JapRus scenario.

I think the Ki-43 would see a lot of use in the LW arenas (would be very popular in both the EW and MW arenas) and would see just about as much use as the A6M5 Zeke.  The only limiting factor would be it's rather poor armament but it turns a little better than the Zekes we have in the game and should give the Finnish Brewster a run for its money in a turn fight.
