BTW, the easiest to add from that list would be the P-47C I think. Would be easy to backdate the P-47D-10 model we already have. (external model: only modifying some panel lines on the skin?) Maybe only some minor cockpit work that would be needed. (EDIT: Not that easy. C had somewhat different cowling and smaller landing flaps)

Point taken. There were plenty of German aircraft used along the western coasts of Occupied Europe, but the lack of a map of England limits the scope for German bombing and maritime ops on the Normandy map. So, I was thinking of the Normandy maps as maps where the Allies are on the offensive.

With the addition of the Tobruk and Italian maps, there's much more scope for German offensive scenarios. Taking off my blinders, here's a list of mid- to late-War German bomber or fighter bomber aircraft which were commonly used on the Western Front/Mediterranean:

Bomber/Intruder: Flyable Do-217K-1 & Do-217M-1. Do-217E-1, Do-217E-3, Do-217E-5, Do-217J-1, He-111H-16, He-111H-20, Ju-88C-2, Ju-88C-4, Ju-88S-1, Ju-188E-1, Me-410A-1.

Cargo: Flyable Ju-52/3mg3e.

Heavy Fighter/Strike Fighter: Flyable Bf-110C-4/B. Bf-110C-7, Bf-110D-1, Bf-110D-3, Bf-110E-1, Bf-110F-2, Ju-88C-6c, Me-410A-1/U2, Me-410A-1/U4, Me-410B-1.

Night Fighter: Bf-110F-4, Bf-110G-4, Ju-88C-6b NJ

Patrol Bomber: Flyable Do-217K-2. BV-138B-1, FW-200C-4, He-115B-1, He-115C-1, Ju-88H-2, Ju-290A-5, Ju-290A-7.

Training/Liaison: Bf-108B, FW-57B-1, FW-57B-2, Si-204D-1.

These aircraft would be most appropriate for the Italy, Normandy and Norway maps. Sub-sets would be appropriate to the Ardennes, Berlin and Tobruk maps. They'd also be perfect for the modded Channel maps, as well as any forthcoming maps of Southern Italy or Malta.

Honestly, I'd be glad if we would get at least a late He-111 variant, like the H-16, a flyable Bf-110C4 (even without rear gunner), and a flyable Ju-88C6. Sadly we cant expect more from the german side

Mitsubishi F1M

[P-38L]

My wish list:

Sukhoi Su-2
TBF Avenger
TBD Devastator
Any Liaison Airplane
Ju-52 Military and Passenger transport

[Marabekm]

For early Mediterranean Maps:
RAF: Flyable Blenheims - both Mk I and MkIV
Flyable Gladiators Mk I and MkII ( Yes J8A and Gladiator MkII same plane,
so not top priority)
AI only - Lysander, Short Sunderland
And flyable- Martin Maryland, Beaufighter Ic

Regia Aeronautica: Add flyable - Fiat Cr-32, Ba-65, G.50 bis
AI only- Ro-37, Ca-310 series

Luftwaffe: Add Ju-87R, Bf-110E (tropical version?)

Pacific:
TBD Devastator
F1M Pete
A6M3 Model 22

Just my wishlist..... But always happy with whatever you guys decide to add. Looking foward to R-5. I like bi-planes.
Perhaps a match up between Hungarian Cr-42s and VVS R-5s, but..... that's another topic.

Not just useful for early Med maps, but also 1939-42 Western Europe, 1940-43 Finland, and 1942 Singapore.

It's probably the most useful AI plane to make flyable.

I'm surprised that the Gladiators haven't been flyable made yet.

Literally, all you need to do is rework the instrument panel and repaint the rest of the cockpit so that the placards are in English rather than Swedish.

Yep. Westland Lysander Mk. I & II (the Mk. II was just an engine upgrade), Short Sunderland Mk. I, Martin 167 Maryland Mk. II, Bristol Beaufighter Mk. IC.

Possibly add the Martin 187 Baltimore to the list. Possibly Martin 167 French version and Martin Maryland Mk. I.

But all of these would be a LOT of work. It might be too ambitious to make the Maryland flyable, since I'm not sure that pictures of the interior exist.

CR-32 and Ba-65 might not have cockpit references needed to make it flyable.

G.50bis looks like it would be incredibly easy to add to the game - all that changed was the size of the fuel tank, which would just be a simple change to FM and DM.

TD could also take a look at the G.50 series, since apparently Finnish versions were much slower than the Italian versions. There could also be a G.50 Serie I version with closed cockpit. The version in the game is the Serie II.

Might be difficult to get cockpit pictures for such a rare bird. Ditto for the Neiman R-10. Agreed that it would be cool to fly these rare birds.

Can't happen. Thanks for nothing Northrop-Grumman!

You got your liaison plane right here:

Seems to be a common request. With the TBD/TBM being off-limits, a flyable TBD is about the closest we'll ever get to a flyable USN torpedo bomber.

I'm not sure it's necessary to add the civilian version, since they saw very little action during WW2 (unlike the DC-3 which sometimes strayed into war zones). But, making the Ju-52 3m/4e flyable would be useful they regularly went into harm's way.

SB2C
While not a pure torpedo bomber it had the ability to carry torpedoes and it is not a low performance plane like the TBD. Or use the Fairey Barracuda, which is a least Western allied material - and the Avenger's role&performance should be close enough to fill the gap in the planeset.
