You're only hurting yourself in the end by not showing interest in any other aircraft then the FW190. But hey, what should I care, you're just another lone wolf trying to steal my kill otherwise

Yep I am a big fan of FW190 series, and well I could fly the BF109 too, but my killing machine is my FW

They will put the FW190 in when the theater they are creating calls for it. BOB didn't have the 190, but one of the future theaters will. I think you missed my point anyway.

FW-190 first appeared on the eastern front in September 1942 with I/JG51 on the northern and central sector, followed by the rest of the Geschwader and then JG54 .

I'm looking forward to seeing the Eins Zwei Drei (Hs 123) in action.

OT: why do you all think that the Fokker will be again the best fighter in the sky in game? I mean it was indeed a superb fighter, but it did not automatically own every opponents it met in 1943. CEM plays a very importal role in CloD, much more than in IL-2, and before you tell me about the Kommandogerät, I believe it was not perfect and sometimes manually adjusting gave better performance (at cost of work load though).
I know I have opened the can of worms, so let keep talking about the Doppeldecker, OK

The late war fans always need their horsepower and cannon crutch.

The FW 190 played no part in the time period/theatre of the next installment of the sim.

Why not try broadening your personal horizon a bit?

I have my favorite planes as well, but you will never hear me throw such a hissy fit about not having them in the sim.

I'll buy the next installment even if it only has I-16s, I-153s, and IL2s against the entire inventory of the Luftwaffe from 1939 onwards.

And loving it!

Wikipedia says (?) that the Luftwaffe was only operating 22 HS 123s at the start of Operation Barbarossa.

Maybe not really worth the trouble of representing in the game?

[ElAurens]

Maybe so, but there are never enough last gen biplanes that we can fly.

I'm still somewhat crushed that the Gladiator and CR.42 will not be flyable in CLOD.

even with its low numbers in service during operation Taifun, not more than one Gruppe (~40 aircraft ) , the Hs123 played a very important role in the gruondsupport of the german troops in this time. And even more when the soviet counteroffensuvevstarted!

in general:
as fighters the Bf109F-2/-4
as groundattack Bf109E-7, Bf110D/E, Hs123, Ju87B
as bombers Ju88A-5/-4, He111-6
as recon Hs126
as transport Ju52
