Multi-schmitts!!!

I was poking around in the game files and found this interesting entry in the plane file

It's a file for displaying the plane names in the selection menu and also for the plane icons. Although there's no flight model or .msh file for the planes, it looks like MG plan to incorporate up to the Emil 7B in Cliffs of Dover. Maybe they didn't get them ready in time for the last patch.

It's not definitive proof, and some of you may have already guessed that they will add some more Messerschmitts, but I thought I'd share it with you anyway

That is some interesting piece of scrambled text

No doubt the game is layed out to accomodate future content, not only more Me's. Just look through the keyassign list in game, there are such things as extend tail hook. Maybe a hint for a future pacific campaign?

Somewhere in the forum I read also that the next expansion will go to the eastern front, maybe Operation Barbarossa?, to incorporate soviet aircraft.

thanks mate for this thread
i knew about the E4
but E7........AWESOME

It'd be good to have the full collection someday.

I don't understand why there is a Bf 109 E-7/B model. To my understanding the main addition with the E-7 variant was a mounting point for drop tanks which could also hold bombs as well?

I can't wait till the F's come!
