A) how well the upcoming patch solves current issues and
B) how expensive the DLC is

Yeah, Korea would be awesome. Get myself a F-86E10 with a 6/3 Wing!! Oh man, no MiG could get me.

But an American high altitude bomber DLC? Meh, I could go either way really. It would be fun at the beginning because you wouldn't know what to expect, but after awhile of seeing some B17 with half a tail missing, and even more damage limping back home!? That might get a bit tedious.

I'd like to see more american stuff simply because there are much less american planes. Some of my favorite planes are of the american variety and it's sad to see them missing. If they just add in the B-24, and most importantly the B-25, then all shall be forgiven.

I don't think the b24 would act any differently than the 17 and the b25 would probably be along the lines of the a20. I don't know if putting them in the game is of any real vaule. However, having three Hienkels and two Stukas doesn't have any value either! A p38 makes more sense, but if it has the characteristics of the 47, would you use it in a dogfight? Being a video game, the strategic aircraft designs used in the war really get eaten up by the agile, fast and light fighters in the game. It can't be helped unless you make a scenario only for certain type aircraft. Just my thoughts.

First of all the idea of essentially a B-25 with 4 engines has always appealed to me. And it was the most produced bomber of the war, that must be worth noting. It would be cool to have an alternative to the B-17.

However I can totally see your point about the P-38 and would welcome it to the game.

Also, a bit off topic, but the "B-24 Liberator" has got to be one of the coolest plane names.
