LaGG-3 would be a nice addition, as would the Yak-1 and/or Yak-7.  Il-4 or Pe-2 would also be good Soviet additions.

We are running out of the kind of unit that was used in multiple theaters.  Some of the Italian stuff perhaps, C.200, CR.42 and SM.79-II were used in both the Mediterranean and against the Soviets.  As the multi-theater units are almost all added then we ought to look to things that, while not multi-theater, still saw a lot of use.  Things like the aforementioned Soviet stuff as well as Japanese units like the D4Y, B6N and Ki-45.  Earlier versions of existing units, such as the B-17F, B-24D, Bf109E-7, Bf109G-6/AS, Fw190A-3, Ki-43-I, La-5, LaGG-3, Mosquito Mk II, Mosquito Mk IV, P-38F, P-38H, P-47C, P-47D-5, P-51A, Spitfire Mk II, Yak-1 and Yak-7 as well as things like the Lockheed Ventura or even the H8K2, PBY-5 and Short Sunderland.

This would make a nice wish, at least fill out some of the plane sets that deserve - this is a very nice list to go on for example.

I forgot the exact ranking, but the A26 is somewhere in the 30's as far as "what is important to be added".   :aok

I'd like to see both added in addition to more of the Soviet aircraft.

Alot of you hate on the 26 but want an early A20G1.

Am I missing something here? :headscratch:

 Yes you are ...a "G1"... not a DB7 early A20a/b

I love to have a a

Like others have said, i hope they put more focus on making early war-mid war rides for other nations.


I dream of a day where even in the late war arena, that anything that is after '44 will be perked, just to leave the door open for incentive to use the early and mid war rides in the late arena more, even if they are under powered and fairly out gunned.



One can dream, but i think in the next 2-3 years it will become more of a reality.

I have posted this before...and I think you are right :aok

"Planes I would like to see enter the game. I make my selections in the interest of the game and believe they would add more representation and interest to the game!

I believe adding new country's air craft or ground vehicles will increases our player base. If you have ground vehicles from a country not in the game... feel free to post them.


All countries that produced there own planes and who's patrons fought and died in WWII not represented in the Game.

D-520            Fighter
Lioré-et-Olivier LeO 45       Med Bomber
Breguet 693         Light Ground Attack
Potez 630                 Hvy Fighter
Caudron C.714         Fighter
Bloch MB-152         Interceptor Fighter
Ms-406            Fighter                                                       France


DAP Beaufighter Mk 21      Heavy Fighter/Attack
CaC Ca-13 Boomerang      Fighter/Jabo/Spotter              Australia


Mavag Haja II         Fighter                    Hungary


I.A.R. 80/81         Fighter                    Romania


Ikarus/Rogožarski IK-3      Fighter                    Yugoslavia


Avia B-135         Fighter                            Bulgaria


PZL.37B         Med/Hvy Bomber   
PZL.23B Karaś          Attack/Light Bomber              Poland


VL Myrsky         Fighter                            Finland <their own plane>


Fokker G.I          HvyFighter
Fokker T.V.         Bomber
Fokker D.XXI         Fighter                    Netherlands



I do not care if they were used for 2 weeks, if there were six built, they did not shoot hundreds of planes down, or the area of the world was insignificant. They were made and used in WWII by these countries in squadron form. In some cases, countries pinned their hopes on these planes only to be wiped from the air or conquered on land by the German forces. Most... never had time to flesh out there ability’s to evolve their aircraft or were upgraded with another countries plane.. I believe adding these planes will add more interest in/to the game.

I also think the existing population would have allot have fun flying these planes and that many of them would be good for events. "



Iwould like to fly these,

 :salute
