I'll 2nd that list, although we might see a Ki61, Ki84 or Ki100 instead of the Il-2M3.

Hmmmm... while I would love to see your list in 1.06, I think your a little optimistic.

Most likely we would be lucky to get half that number, but thats just my opinon.

HT was in the arena Saturday and he said there would be at least 6 new planes in 1.06. I hope he doesn't mind me relaying that info here...

Very good list Zig..
I would think a dive bomber would be good. But the Avenger seems to work very well that way anyway..

hitech told me 8 planes on saturday, he told us, 4 variants, 2 mods, 2 all new planes

he didnt tell me the planes, i guessed based on that


i would say i am probably 80% right. my only guesses would be

a) like karnak said mabye no il-2 and a japanese plane instead

b) no p47-m mabye f4u-4 or p-51 h instead

but other than that i bet i am right, as they make alot of sense given the 4-2-2 hitech said

this gives russians, germans, americans, and brits a perk

my guesses are the tempest will be a high cost perk (200-300 pts) while la5,p-47m, and 190-d9 lower cost (100 pts)

japanese get the short stick, but 1.07 will be i believe adding more ships so it makes sense to add some more japanese planes then. i think they putting in a battleship and LST in 1.07, as well as upgrading special FX and improving ship damage models.

but thats just my logical guessing.
