Have to admit I was disappointed to see the D3A. Warbirds has it, Target:Rabaul will have it, and now AH has it. I was hoping to see the less famous but much more capable later war Japanese attack aircraft that few sims bother to model. With AH's late-war bias I thought they would come sooner than later, but it looks like this ship has changed course. 'fraid it'll be a loooonngg time before we see a D4Y, B7A, or maybe even Ki84 now.

It's true that this plane will never be seen in the MA, but doesn't it seem that it's time for AH to expand out of it's uber planeset? AH's planeset has always been skewed almost entirely to 1945 planes, or earlier planes that could fit in a late war planeset. It's nice to see that HTC finally feels ready to release a bunch of non-MA planes for a change.

We have a terrain editor, mission planner, CM tools, strategic targets, and now a planeset which is growing to allow all those things to be put to good use. This dead meat Jap plane is a good sign.

We'll get our Yak-3/P-47M/Ki-84 etc. eventually.

This assumes that there are significant late war Japanese planes that are ready for modeling (ie fully researched). I don't know that this is the case. Maybe you have different information.

I'm gald we have the Val otw. Personally, 50% of my time is spent flying TOD, so the Val will get some use in my life. Thanks to HTC.

Plus, several more aircraft coming in 1.10! All the whining over a Val? Heck, I was hoping for a Yak-3! I'm sure as heck not going to cry about it on the board. (Pyro, If I don't get a Yak-3 I'll hold my breath until I turn blue!) Oops... it just slipped out.

I'm very happy with the IJN early plane set. It, along with other aircraft, is needed to round out the plane set.

Well, that's my 2 bits.

Glad it's here, keep bringing on the early war planes. Fill the damn pot, if it was in the war, put it in the sim. Salute HTC!:)

all this squeakin over a single screenie of a new plane??

damn guys, relax ... enjoy your new toy. For all you know there may be 5 other planes included in 1.10, but I'm sure there will be plenty of squeakin about those too.

Good point!

It stalls at the slightest up pressure.

Gloster Gladiator had 4x7.7mm mgs, hs-123 had 2x7.7mm mgs OR 2x20mms! and CR42 had a top speed of 314MPH and 2x12.7 or 2x20mm cannons! Add biplanes!!
