More British Aircraft Please
 

I have to say that when i got this game i did envision one or two more British Aircraft!
It's not like there was not much to choose from in this particular time frame, I think the Germans have enough Aircraft now how about a few more for the British?
Here is a few i would like to see in game..

I watched 633 Squadron this weekend and found myself wanting to fly a Mosquito

Just give us a flyable Wellington,that would certainly keep me happy,it's in game so we just need a decent FM and a nice detailed pit;)

And then after lunch I'd like u to.......


:grin:

Agreed, need more planes in game.. westland whirlwind would be sweet as.

I would much rather they get the presently modeled planes performing historically correctly before dragging in and creating a whole new bunch of not quite right planes.
1st things first guys!

Craig

But dogfighting against the Blenheim is great fun! :-P It's so agile and fast I can barely catch it in a G.50.

+1000

There's absolutely no doubt about that...After all this is a simulator not a console arcade flight game.

How many of you know how to master the plane set available to full potential? I have thousands of hours in front of me to explore new planes. I only know (+ -) the 109 E1/E3 models. Don't even know how to start a Spitfire or Hurricane engine. :oops:

This baby.. hopefully in one peice.. needs to be made flyable;)

+ a million.

It's more likely we're gonna have dodo eggs for dinner than seeing the OPs list of aviation abominations..

Exactly mate, I have only really put time into the E-1 and 110c-7, and still have not mastered them to the point that I would say I could get the very best out of them in all situations. There are some people who fly this as a sim, and want to get as much out of it as possible, and there are others like Tav it would seem who are quite happy to fly a new plane every day and not really get all that deep into them. I dare say that if the devs made 100 planes flyable today, then in 101 days time some people would be complaining that they were bored because they had flown everything! For those people the mod'ed il-2, and or the upcoming world of planes might be a better option at the end of the day!

Craig

All I want for Christmas is a flyable Gloster Gladiator and Fiat CR 42 Falco.

Those will keep me happy till I can get my hands on a Curtiss Hawk 75, 81 or 87.

Flyable PLEASE

Totally agree. Since I finally can play the sim after I've bought a new pc I've only dealt with the Bf 110. Much to learn about her and still much to learn ahead. No time to "fly" them all together at once.

Here, have my vote.:)

but if ever for the BoB scenario totaly new cockpits will be made by 1C, the first should be the cockpits (and gunnerstations) of a british bomber (able to carry more than 1000lb of bombs). And the natural choice would be the Wellington because its 3D modell is already in game.

I say this because i have future online wars/events in my mind. just compare the bombload of a He111 to the Blenheim's :D

But there too busy developing BOM so i cant see them doing this for some time. :(

We need the Fairey Battle tbh...

Not again!!!

hahaha that's how I read this too.
:lol:

it coulb be great to have a english fighter-bomber

Agreed to the topic starter to a certain point.

There need to be two more flyable british aircraft, the Wellington and the Beaufighter (the latter was not a fighter bomber at that time, afaik. Did the british posess a true fighter bomber during the BoB?).

As non flyables we also need a Lysander, and thought not RAF, the Ju52 and the Storch.
With those planes added this Sim would be well rounded and a lot more future proof.

or just release the plane maker like promised... :rolleyes:

We need the Gladiator, I wish they would make us happy. :-P

I agree with you on this sir.

I would fly nothing else, no matter how many times I got shot down.

Would be fun fighting the G .50 with it.

Why doesn't anyone ever mention the Avro Lancaster Bomber? Am I missing the reason why this is never mentioned or something?

The Lancaster entered service well after the Battle of Britain was over.

The Wellington, Hampden, Whitley and Blenheim were the main british bombers for that time frame.

Not contemporary with the BOB. Have the Lanc, and you need the maps and supporting planes to go with it....

Edit beat me to it :)
