+1 for the Mosquito and Lightning

Disagree about the aircobra though. It's is good for it's novelty factor and should be included as a P-39N in the Italian Airforce. The Do-335 Pfeil would be fun to fly too for its weirdness.

My other choses would be:

Hawker Tempest
De Haviland Hornet
Avro Lancaster
Gloster Meteor
P-80A Shooting Star

Westland Whirlwind
B-25 Mitchell

Axis:
MC 205 Veltro

...

I could continue all night!

I thought about putting the Defiant in my list, but in the game I think it would almost useless online. It wasn't heavily armoured like a stuka so you'd be shot down instantly if you tried using the guns on a pursuing fighter but as it had no other weapons you can do nothing else. All it was good for was shooting at bombers from infront, hidden from the nose gunners by the night. And the weight and drag of the turret made it handle like a pig.

One problem of playing online is that: Most players want to be Aces with a big high score. I for myself play for fun and have no problems with taking a plane which is totaly underlay.
It could be nice to have some fights with some PZ11 against a couple BF 109, but you will never find it in the Net.

Hurrah for Mr.Blonde; he's the only person I've seen on this forum give mention to my fave WWII plane (or at least one of my faves...) the Bristol Beaufighter!

Would also love to see the de Havilland Mosquito and the P38 Lightning would make a pretty cool addition too.
