Italy: Fiat CR.42 or Fiat G.50
- Would rather see a G.55 or Re.2005

Germany: Ju-88 or Do-17
- Both please!

US: F4F Wildcat or P-38 (P-38s played more of a roll in Italy, than a P-51 did.)
- P-38, as its the only US 8th AF escort fighter not in the game

UK: P-40 or Gloster Gladiator (It's really surprising for a WW2 Airplane game, to not have added MALTA which was nothing but an aerial combat zone.)
- P40 with shark nose would look cool. But I would like to see either a PR.XIX Spit, or equivalent Mossie for a Photo Recon mission. Could use the bomb aiming reticule for target aquisition, with no guns, would be a great mission.......

Russia: They could have added the LaGG-3 into BoP instead of the useless Po-2.
- Pe-2 would be mint!

Yeah, a Fiat G.55 would be okay, but they weren't around during Malta. Fiat G.50s and CR.42s were though. And that's why they should have added Malta, because it was more of a air battle than Sicily or the Italian mainland ever was.

If we are going into historical accuracy, then they shouldve used a Mk.I Spitfire, not a cannon armed Mk.II for some of the BoB missions. They did have a few cannon armed Mk.II's, but out of the 900 odd Mk.II's produced, only around 170 were cannon armed. And the camo is wrong for them, it shouldve been brown/green top sides, not green/gray. I know why they used one though, just to keep it up with the 109E in the armament stakes.
