Some years ago a 3rd party (Polychop) Started a Ju-87 project, but was depleted. Yet only ED (WW2 team) and VEAO (a P-40F) has making WW2 aircrafts.

WinterH Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Other devs that was/is going to release WWII aircraft besides ED: Leatherneck: F4U Corsair, they have even stated that the Christen Eagle II is a testbed for piston aircraft in developing the Corsair, and they share some Corsair shots every now and then. They may or may not follow with a Japanese aircraft too. Miltech-5: Was supposed to do a Ju-87 module including D-5 and G-2. Sadly seem to have fell by the wayside. Also, before the split Polychop was showing some interest in a Ho-229. Octopus-G: They are doing an I-16 but it seems to be in a perpetual state of delay. VEAO: They had a whole host of WW2 aircraft in their roadmap at some point, but we all know what happened with that. Still, they are to release the P-40F at some point, and they still show WIP shots for their Spitfire Mk something-something-very-late. Fw-190A is a new thing, the next things in line were thought to be Me-262 and P-47D. So it seems ED does and possibly will keep expanding their WW2 offerings as well. At this point, I would be interested in seeing something like a Bf-110, Ju-88, Do-217, B-25, A-20, A-26 etc. More attack oriented versions than bomber ones if possible. Also Ju-87 and IL-2, perhaps Pe-8 too. I think some ground attack oriented aircraft would be welcome additions to warbird stable. Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some ground attack oriented aircraft would be welcome additions to warbird stable. -The Status of Leatherneck has unknown meanwhile they not complete the CE-2. Has put some F4u pics but surely on low profile to a medium, far module. The similar situation has the Iwo Jima Theatre on hold yet. -Miltech-5 projects has unknown, the plans of ju-87 was previously to the Polychop split, and someone has suppose after some years, the Ju-87 wan depleted. The old FB and forum post has dead some years ago. -Octopus-G I-16 on hands by ED for testing, but no news has coming from early 2018. -VEAO has only the P-40F, but the situation continue unclear. Waiting some info. -ED plans was the Fw-190 A8, P-47, Me262, the Mosquito talk by Yo-Yo and some other aircraft talking by Wags. By Chizh, no plans of "red aircrafts" yet.

MAD-MM Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 what about a BF109 era Contemporary to the Fw190 A8? BF109 G6 or G14? any plans for that? Latter was entering service just a month after allies landings over Normandy Edit: also given VEO's departure you can scratch of all of those planes The G-14 was born out of the Idear to standardized the G-Production Line, with a uncountable Conversions to streamline the Production, like Erla Canopy for Example.. But the difference was marginal, when they running on the same Engine, except the G6 is a uglyst 109 alive... Only one Future was special for the Western Front, all produced AS/ASM Version with the big Blower from the DB-603 goes to the Western Front for the needed better High Altitude Power..

Burning Bridges Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I expect when the Fw190 A comes out I will be a happy camper, simply because this has been a lifelong dream since I built 1/32 Hasegawa kits. Possibly the P-47 will be on my shopping list too, depending on wether it's easier to fly than other WW2 planes or not. With those planes there is already lot to do. If I had to name my absolute dream it would be a Nightfighter. Ideally this would be Bf110G - highly interesting from the technical point (they had RADAR !!) but very complex too. A Mosquito or Me 262 Nightfighter would also seem possible and perhaps more realistic, given the current work on the planeset. Although the 262 was the 2 seater so a completely different plane, it's probably not gonna happen. Which leaves the Mosquito, yes I can see that will be a very good and popular plane to fly. But a man can dream right. A landing in the very early morning hours with the exhaust and the inside of the cabin faintly glowing, and a shot down flying fortress somewhere ...

Seaside Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 As much as I would like to see early Battle of Britain/ early Pacific aircraft I think some more 43/44 aircraft first AI or flyable P-38,B-24, Halifax/Lanc, Me110/410/262 first. Just so we don't wind up with a couple aircraft in each time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornetjock Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 This seems like the place to put my request for a Hawker Typhoon.

Devil 505 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I am surprised not to see more people talking about the P-38 Lighting. Bring back the good ole days of Janes WW2 fighters. Loved doing missions in the 38 over the Ardennes Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krupi Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 The role of the P-38 was quite limited in Europe if I recall correctly. There are far more important planes required to build up than the lightning at the moment, hopefully we will get it one day.

There are far more important planes required to build up than the lightning at the moment, hopefully we will get it one day. At the time of the D-Day landings the P-38J was in service with the following units: 8th AAF 20th Fighter Group (converted to P-51 July '44) 55th Fighter Squadron 77th Fighter Squadron 79th Fighter Squadron 55th Fighter Group (converted to P-51 July '44) 38th Fighter Squadron 338th Fighter Squadron 343rd Fighter Squadron 364th Fighter Group (converted to P-51 Aug '44) 383rd Fighter Squadron 384th Fighter Squadron 385th Fighter Squadron 479th fighter Group (converted to P-51 Sept '44) 434th Fighter Squadron 435th Fighter Squadron 436th Fighter Squadron 9th AAF 367th Fighter Group (converted to P-47 early '45) 392nd Fighter Squadron 393rd Fighter Squadron 394th Fighter Squadron 370th Fighter Group (converted to P-51 Feb '45) 401st Fighter Squadron 402nd Fighter Squadron 485th Fighter Squadron 474th Fighter Group 428th Fighter Squadron 429th Fighter Squadron 430th Fighter Squadron Allowing each of a total of 21x squadrons to put 16x airframes operational on any given day, that's a total of 336 P-38s available for D-Day. That's loosely equivalent to 2x Luftwaffe Geschwader of the period. Why anyone thinks that's an insignificant amount or somehow unimportant to the Normandy air campaign... well.
