Aces High needs more early war planes and finally they are being added I hope they can focus on filling out the early war planeset as the late war has had plenty of attention.

Planeset

Just some personal opinions:

The Bearcat and Seafury are both VERY late war 1945 planes, we might as well start considering the Vampire or the Shooting Star if we are going to add them. Also, they would add to the top heavy super-perk plane catagory. It does however point up the need for more CV aircraft, but personally I think the SBD, Val, Kate, or the Helldiver are more needed - not more fighters. The fact we have only 1 Torpedo/Bomber on the CVs probably needs to be attended to more than more Perky fighters.

The Komet would be a fun novelty item to fly and might fill a hole in quick base defense against high-alt bombers. Since they actually engaged in combat, they would be historically more viable too. But the fact that more exploded or crashed than inflicted kills would be difficult to model. I think adding the 88 Flak to the field guns would be a better fix.

The P40 should be added, as well as the Catalina and B25. My guess is that we'll see them eventually.

As for the B29 with a Nuke, I wouldn't hold your breath.

Historically, the greater need is for the most produced Bomber of the war to be modelled - the B24 but I fear a B17 with half the bombload would be a much flown item.

The Blackwidow is probably going to have to wait until "nightime" is really integrated. At present, people regard night as a nuisance. Once that changes then Bombers and Nightfighters will really come into their own.

Just some thoughts.

Thought I was cutting slack. None of your suggestions were silly, just wanted to point out which ones were more viable IMHO than others.

No offense intended.

I think the Japanese planeset is VERY lacking, I noticed 9 of the 10 that you posted were allied steel. As we are now I don't think we have an IJN plane that can carry a torp, correct me if i'm wrong. The addition of the Me-110 series was very nice, FINALLY a plane i can fly, now lets see the Ki-84:)

IMO the next Allied plane should be the P-40, the Axis should be the stuka, and the IJN the Ki-84 (maybe even the Val) But i think those should be available WAY before  more late war allied rides.
I'm hoping this new British Medium buff acts like a A-26, moreso than the B-26. Althou your planeset is not bad, and many think the early war planes will not be flown in the MA, I'm thinking the overall picture the CT and senerios, and TOD for these early war sets.

But, the final decision is HiTechs
So bare with us we've seen these "what planes AH NEEDS" post for almost 3 years.

Nuttz,

New KI67 carries a torpedo. We do need the Val and Kate though.

The A-26 is like an A-20 on steroids.

We have no dedicated dive bombers.

The Japanese are still lacking in bombers, esp. navy bombers.

What I think we most desperately need is:

Early A6M
Kate
Val

F4F
SBD

Stuka

as a buff driver on occasion, if i had a choice between b-24 and b-17, i'd fly b-24 almost every time :D
