Most desired new AI aircraft....

[theelite1500]

I want to be able to play as the Typhoon, not have AIs using it.

I selected other, specifically the Lancaster for its Tallboys and Grand Slams. It would be neat to have those

The PZL P-24 would be neat. A more modern, more powerful version of the P-11, sometimes armed with cannon. The Greeks used it with success against Italian fighters and bombers, and the Romanians had success with it against Soviet bombers and as a ground attack plane.

Some good info about the Greek PZLs here: http://greek-war-equipment.blogspot....1-pzl-p24.html and here: http://imansolas.freeservers.com/Ace...0fighters.html

Yes, I think PZL P.24 can be an interesting part of 4.13m

And good looking too

I'd list my desires like this (lots of bombers but the Typoon first please :

Typhoon - it's the ultimate brute...
Some early war British bomber like Blenheim, Hampden, Wellington
A-26 - I like twins and it also has a lovely sleek killing machine look
Any 4 engined western bomber out of B-17,B-24, Lancaster, Halifax
B-26 - Used a lot... And a handful to fly.
Whirlwind - well, not used much but it sure would be interesting to try!
EDIT - and the Catalina would be nice too talking twins...

Interesting reading up on the Ventura - there where many of them in service I realized!

Too bad it's so much work with bombers

If rifle calibre machine guns are as relatively over performing as I suspect, the Lancaster is going to be a real fighter killer, with four in a turret in the tail and two other twin turrets (and similarly the Halifax and Sunderland).

B26 for me, a widely used medium height bomber.

Used in Europe, the Med and the Pacific
the B-26 stated by the 9th Air Force as having the lowest loss rate in the European Theatre of Operations at less than 0.5%
By the end of World War II, it had flown more than 110,000 sorties and had dropped 150,000 tons (136,078 tonnes) of bombs, and had been used in combat by British, Free French and South African forces in addition to U.S. units. In 1945, when B-26 production was halted, 5,266 had been built.

I agree with KG26_Alpha. Currently, il-2 has a ton of allied bombers and only a handfull of axis bombers. We need more german bombers for sure.

I also voted other and i would love to see the Do17 Z-2 and other variants of He-111.

The major German bomber types are already represented, but there could be more variants - especially the Ju-88 and He-111.

I think that the He-177 is under development.

The Do-17 was on its way out when the war started. The Do-217 is more representative of the type, although the Do-17 would be a nice target for BoB scenarios.

What the Germans could really use is a flying boat or floatplane, like the Bv-137, Do-24 (also used by the KNIL in the Pacific) or He-115.

The nation that's really hurting for planes is France - just one fighter type and nothing else! They should at least have an early war version of the A-20 (the DB-7). There was so many good (and not so good, and truly terrible) French airplanes that never really got a chance to prove themselves due to the Blitzkrieg, but nobody seems to care about them.

+1 for the Do 24...

Vichy France among Axis nations and a new Syria map would give us a chance to use (almost) all of them historically -- against the Allied.
