It's hard to see it, being painted black and only out of it's hangar at night.  ;)

It would look like some stuff that ought to be added was added, some stuff that ought to be added was not added and some stuff that ought not be added was added.

Seriously, the P.108 would be a very bad addition.  It was extremely low production, not particularly effective and large with a lot of crew stations.  This means, in AH terms, that it isn't useful for scenarios, won't get much use in the MAs and would take a lot of work for HTC to add.  That is a bad trifecta.

If that's the only omission you'd make, I've not done bad.  :)

It was the only glaring one.   We'd make different choices for sure, but that is entirely reasonable.  Beaufighter really ought to be on your list.  Wellington as well probably.

I've purposefully avoided both the U.S. and British sets, since they are somewhat robust (the German one is, as well, but I added the 190-3 alongside an axis transport).

I dunno. Aces High needs a French WWII plane set kinda like it needs a Swiss one.
