Off topic: I just actually met a chick who is interested in this game *mouth drops*

On Topic: David, I hope you don't just fly 109's and will try the FW-190A5 out. I'll be flying my Yak or La as usual :D

Wish my girlfriend was even slightly interested in video games. Mind you, her alternative is horse riding which is actually quite fun, but I still prefer being a virtual pilot. Less potential for serious pain, you see.

I do fly the Fw190 sometimes, but I prefer the Bf109 because it is a better BnZ plane. Still, I will certainly fly the Fw190D9, but I don't really like the A models because they aren't fast enough to justify their inferior turn rates compared to most of their opponents, and if I had to pick between a Yak3 and a Fw190A I would rather be in the Yak, although the 4 20mm Cannon and 2 7.9mm MGs of an A5 are tempting because they can end dogfights very fast. See you in the skys of Birds of Prey in September then :cool:

Don't forget the AR-234.

The AR-234 isn't fast enough to get away from a fighter like the P51 if the P51 has a couple of thousand feet to spare, but it would certainly be tricky to intercept if you were playing Strike and were already at low altitude when the AR-234 came in. Hopefully it will be the version with 2 20mm cannon in the tail, because that would give you at least a fighting chance if you were jumped by fighters.

I don't think there are any Allied jets in game, since the devs seem to be sticking to aircraft which saw combat in WWII, although they could put in the Gloster Meteor.

I only mentioned it because I thought you didn't know it was in game.

The Arado-234 is in the game??? WOW!!

Oh.....Okay, lets reword that answer, yes I did see the AR-234, its in one of the trailers on the main website, but thanks for mentioning it. :)

Maybe I should try to make with a list of all the planes in the trailers and screen shots, though since the full plane list is bound to come out soon I'm not sure its worth doing.

Yeah, I thought about that too, but I'm 100% on aircraft variants.
