The official game imho is missing some important targets, oops I mean bombers

Lancaster, Halifax and Stirling

G3M Nell and Ki-49 Helen

and a not so important bomber but it would be nice to see, Heinkel He 177 Greif (Griffin)

My vote goes for more British bombers as well, Halifax, Lancaster etc. but I'm happy with whatever DT brings at this point. I dlike to see improvements to some of the older planes over having new ones, 4.12 really hit the nail on the head with the new effects and FMs .

The Typhoon and SB2C are interesting to me because they had some very bad qualities to accompany their virtues. It would be interesting to see if someone could model these good qualities along with the bad or even atrocious ones. With time these aircraft were modified and improved but the problems were never eliminated. I think that I would enjoy the challenge of learning to fly one of these flawed aircraft as effectively as possible and just survive a mission. If I want a "nice" mount there are already plenty in the game like the tempest, dauntless, spitfire ix, hellcat, p-40 and zero.

What about British carrier-borne fighters? We only have the Seafire as flyable and the Fulmar as an AI. The Swordfish has no companion. A Sea Gladiator and a Sea Hurricane wouldn't be that hard to make on the basis of the existing models.

SB2C Helldiver!! Beast or Beauty, it was one of the most effective ship killers for the US Navy in the last year and a half of the war. It also went on to serve faithfully with the French and Greek navies long after the war ended.

The list is about new AI aircraft. Feel free to start another poll, I'd be curious.

Really, there are many important planes missing from the lineup and all have some value.

- Martin B-26 Marauder flew in Pacific, Med, and Western Europe. 5,288 built.

- Fairey Barracuda would be good to fill the gap in RN Fleet Air Arm in 1943. 2,607 built and had some good usage.

- SB2C Helldiver/A-25 Shrike (USN/USAAF). 7,140 built and had some good usage.

- KI-48 Lily. 1,997 built and played an important role in the Pacific and China.

- Lockheed Hudson (RAF, RCAF, RAAF, RNZAF, USAAF). 1938-1943. 2,941 built. Served in Europe and Pacific. Quite a few variants, would be a challenging build and might be able to mod into the IJA KI-56.

The Lockheed PV-1 Ventura.

One of the most overlooked, yet widely used and important aircraft in the Pacific.
