Not exactly pertinent to this topic, but please note the wing damage to two planes in the video. In the IL2 game, wing damage that severe would be fatal, yet the plane with the rear third of its port wing blown away was able to fly 200 miles and make a successful landing!

It would be really nice to have the MS.406 and 410 (Mörkö-version aswell maybe) upgraded to flyable status. A flyable French fighter is needed I think. And if not the MS, maybe the Dewoitine D.520 could be introduced.

A flyable Blenheim-version and Swordfish would also be very nice, aswell as/or the Wellington.

The Ar-196A-3 would be nice to see upgraded to flyable status, just as the B6N2.

Another Dream woul be to have the Short Sunderland introduced aswell, prefarely as a flyable.

Ah well...on can always dream!

Thanks for a great job so far TD! And thank you in advance for all future efforts you embark on aswell!

Given your user name, it's no surprise you have a fondness for the French!

I agree about the MS.406 and 410, since this was arguably the best Finnish early war fighter. There should be both Finnish and French cockpits. The Mörkö was only built as a prototype series, so isn't that important to have it flyable.

There was a D.520 in the works by a 3rd party modder, but I think that project failed. Despite that, the D.520 would be a nice addition to the game since in addition to being France's best fighter in 1940, it was used in combat by several Axis countries in the Middle East and on the Eastern Front.

+1 for your other suggestions. A flyable Blenheim would aid both the Finns and the early War British line-up, while a flyable Swordfish would be very useful for North African and Malta maps.

There is a gorgeous-looking Sunderland Mk I which has recently been released as a mod. Polygon count is probably way to high to ever allow it to be "official" and there might be other problems, but it sure looks great!

There are two modded D.520 versions (C1 and S) available in WAW#20. The one has no working cockpit instruments, but the other seemed to me fine when I briefly picked it up for a test flight. And the D.520 is a beautiful plane...

I think that the developer of the D.520 didn't want to play by TD's rules regarding polygon count and released at least one variant of the plane as a mod.

Sad, because it would be wonderful to have the D.520 as an "official" plane.
