Allied planes that I find are needed in the game or could spice up the game (IMHO) and which isn't already mentioned in the AAA forums - just in case somebody is bored!!!

They are not listed in priority order, but in alphabetical order


(Brits first)

Blackburn skua - introduced as the first monoplane fighter/divebomber of the royal navy in 1938, but was withdrawn from frontline service in 1941, due to its rate fatalities. Was used extensively in the early days of the war (ETO) but especially known for it's role during the norway campaign:

Bristol Beaufort - deployed in 1939 and was used extensively as a torpedo bomber until 1943-44. It was used by the allied in both the ETO and the PTO:

Handley page hampden - deployed for the first time in late 1938, used extensively as medium daylight bomber in the early days of the war and despite its speed and agility, it was Luftwaffe bait. It was later used as torpedo bomber (mostly and extensively by the russians):

Short stirling - entered operational service in january 1941, but was due to dissapointing perfomance at high altitude later replaced by both the halifax and the lancaster. Though the stirling had shorter wings, than both its predecessors, it was bigger than both the halifax and the lancaster. It had a fantastic turn radius, what may have been somewhat of a surprise to pursuing enemy planes. It could outturn both the Ju-88 and Bf-110! It had an astonishing payload of 14,000lb (the largest of allied planes, at that time!).

Short sunderland - entered service in 1938 and was used extensively through out the war.

Supermarine walrus (seagull) - deployed for the first time in 1936 and by the start of the war, in widespread use by the royal navy.

(American planes nxt)

Lockheed A-28 hudson/ventura - extensively used by all allied airforces and at all theatres of war. Was put into to operational service with the RAF in late 1938.

Martin baltimore - used extensively by the allied airforces, but mostly by the RAF in the MTO (especially the italian campaign).

Douglas TBD devastator - used in the early years of the war by the USN. Extensively used during the battle of Midway.

Hehe, this is all I have for the allied (have some ideas for axis planes aswell)

Why not start making these for Storm of War instead..... :roll:

Are all those huge photos really necessary? Yes, theyd be nice to have, but lets concentrate on whats already half done rather than pushing that asideand starting new projects (a bit like me and about 15 half finished plastic models that have been WIPs for a good 2 years now). Plus, lets not forget our Axis friends still hankering for a Do17 and He219 8)

Go Ahead Dk, let your wishes be known. It never hurts to ask.
ALmost all the aircraft you listed are on my own ongoing list of desired aircraft, so I can't help but be supportive (though the Skua is not, and I think the Ventura is more utilitarian for more scenarios than the Hudson).
Guys, if someone mentioning a different plane pulls a modder off one incomplete project to start another, I'd argue that it is not the problem of the guy offering the suggestion.
This site was created, as far as I understand anyway, to address the wishlists that weren't being addressed by Oleg Maddox and co. If people here start suggesting NOT to make suggestions that is to me a major case of pot calling kettle black.

Martin B-26 Marauder is already being worked on.

[caldrail]

Handley Page Hampden! I'd forgotten that one. I have the pilots notes for that aeroplane somewhere, I'll dig them out if somebodies interested.

Seconded for the Hampden.

I don't know what it is, but ive allways had a thing for this plane

Thx Kopfdorfer, this is just a dream and a dream I do not expect will be fulfilled. But if somebody with the skill of creating new planes needs inspiration, then go ahead and be my guest...
And what goes for the pictures - well, yeah sorry, I just like planes so much, that I wanna see a picture of it, when debating it (couldn't find lesser sized pictures)...

No way! hock: Is that for Il-2?!

[DK-nme]

Thx mate - really is a juicy one...
Will it be made for the game and how far from completion is it?
Can't wait...

i wonder if its possible to convert the japanese h8k to a short sunderland..? It has a resemblance (or at least it occured to me when i first saw it) to the Empire Class flying boats on which the sunderland (or flying porcupine) was based.

[Divine-wind]

There are reskins, which is a pretty nice quick and dirty fix.
