I’ll be surprised if they produce any aircraft that have not already been announced. True, but who knows? Maybe they will continue making more aircraft for Great Battles. I know you are going to give a backlashing comment, as I have gathered that is what your role is here, so take your best shot, but I think it would make at least some sense to release some aircraft the game still needs. Bf-109 G-10. Why? Because it was a sub-variant of the Bf-109G that saw extensive service in the later months of the Battle of the Bulge and was present in sizable numbers in Operation Bodenplatte, and some estimates say over 2,000 were built. This would fill in some gaps in pilot career mode in Battle of Bodenplatte. Also, the G-10 would take far less time to build. Bf-110 F-2. Why? Because people are asking for it. Entering service in late 1941 on the Eastern Front, it would serve as a fine CAS and ground attack aircraft in Stalingrad pilot career mode. Also, it would serve as a complementary or replacement variant to the Bf-110 E-2. Plus, it is nice to have some more diversity amongst the Bf-110 family represented in Great Battles. Do-217E and K. Why? Because simply put, the game doesn't have a Do-217 yet. They would serve as a mid-war tactical bomber on both the Eastern and Western Front modules, in places such as Stalingrad, Kuban, Leningrad and Odessa 1944, and Normandy and Bodenplatte. Fw-190 A-4. Why? Because it was a numerically important variant of the Fw-190A family. It would serve as a boom and zoom fighter and interceptor that fits in somewhere between the horsepower and weight of the Fw-190 A-3 and A-5, and it would be handy to have in the Leningrad area of 1942-43 and I imagine later pilot career modes of Great Battles (though sporadically). Fw-190 A-9. Why? Because, much for the same reason as the Bf-109 G-10, though less than 1,000 were built by the time production seized. One cool thing was that it was a pioneering aircraft in the field of fly by wire systems, which I think should not be omitted from Great Battles. IL-4. Why? Because it served as the backbone of the medium bomber fleet for the Red Air Force from 1942 onwards. It has a sizable payload, a decent range, and was considered rugged and reliable by it's pilots, and I think it would be well liked by players. Ju-87 B-2. Why? Because it is one of the two of the most iconic-looking Stukas that saw service in the Eastern Front (the other being the B-1, which was whithdrawn from service by the time of Operation Barbarossa). It would help fill in the gaps of the 1941-42 pilot career modes on the Eastern Front, such as Odessa, Moscow, and in Leningrad, as the D-3 was non-existant at that time. Ju-188 A/E. Why? Because it would serve as the Luftwaffe's late war piston-engined bomber. I know they didn't see much service, but since the game is getting some American tactical bombers (A-20G, B-25C/D and the B-26B) this would help balence the scales of battle in a multiplayer battle. Plus it would serve well in Bodenplatte and NMormandy Pilot Career mode. P-40B/C. Why? Because it saw a lot of service on the Karelian Front. It would have been even more obsolite and underpowered than the P-40E that we already have, making it an even more difficult challenge to fly against an enemy with far superior planes. It would fill in the gaps of Moscow and Stalingrad pilot career mode as well, as we are lacking a lot of German and Soviet planes that were in service on the Eastern Front between 1941 and 1942. P-40M. Why? Because it also saw a lot of service on the Eastern Front. However, this version of the War Hawk had a more powerful and reliable engine than the P-40E, and it would be more of an even match for the Bf-109F and G variants in a dogfight. Pe-2 Model 1944. Why? Because it would serve as a modernized version of the Pe-2s we already have. It shouldn't be too hard or too long to make, and it would serve as a valuable dive-bomber in Odessa and Leningrad 1944, as they were used ther ein real life in huge numbers. Pe-3Bis. Why? Because people want it. Plus, it would serve as a filler in various Eastern Front pilot career modes. SB-2. Why? Because it would serve as the standard early Eastern Front bomber and as the Soviet Air Force's tactical bomber fleet backbone. It would be play a significant part in Odessa 1941, Leningrad 1941 and Moscow and Stalingrad pilot career modes. Tu-2/2S. Why? Also, pilot career mode - in Leningrad 1944 and Odessa 1944. Would serve as a quintessential bomber of the Soveit Air Force from late 1943 onwards and a complementary bomber to the IL-4, as well as a reminder of how far Soviet engineering had come since the start of Operation Barbarossa. 1

1C Game Studios LukeFF Posted June 22 1C Game Studios Posted June 22 Which ends here. 🙂 Guys, as we have stated before, the only planes planned right now for GB are the six planes announced earlier this year. At this point, with Korea and its DLC coming right around the corner, there are no plans for GB beyond that. 1 1 1
