All good suggestions, but I think the Ki-44 and the SB2C are absolute must-haves. It's incomprehensible that they weren't included in Pacific Fighters.

Moreover let's not forget, that we are still missing many important sub-types of aircraft we already have in the game. For example Bf-109G14AS, FW-190A 2/3; Ki-61-I-Tei, A6M3-22 or the numerous Beaufighter, P-38 and Bf-110 versions.

Difficult to choose. Ideally I'd like a Spitfire XIV or a Whirlwind.

I ended up voting for the Typhoon although the Ju-88C and SB2C would come 2nd & 3rd in the ranking.

Ki-44 for me, then SB2C, Ki-48 Lily and Ki-49 Helen.

S!

How about Ju-88 P-series? :) .. Well, I would want them as a flyable of course :)

SB2C Helldiver to me, flyable if possible.
That would allow a great offline career as US Navy pilot.
Ki-44 would be cool too, with one or two chinese maps, actually.
As 'other', I'd say the Spit XIV or D520. :)

How about a much used but almost forgotten light bomber operated by a number of airforces and used extensively in the Pacific

And its big brother

I voted for the Typhoon as it is the most obvious missing aircraft from the inventory, but I'd much rather get to fly a Spit XIVe, and if we were serious about the '46 part of the game's title, I'd really, really want an F8F Bearcat, but like the F4U-4, that will never happen.

Ki-44 Tojo would be my third choice.

The SB2C Helldiver seems like a good choice, but it was a vicious beast that was unpopular with the men who flew in them, especially the (enlisted) rear gunners, who all knew perfectly well that the war was already won and most of the missions they were flying weren't absolutely necessary. Apparently, nobody liked flying it. The last six months of the Pacific war, the Helldivers were either reduced in numbers or left off the carriers entirely when the Corsairs and Hellcats proved to be very nearly as effective in dive bombing and very useful in a kamikaze threat environment.

An accurate FM would make it one of the least-flown in Il-2.

I know its about AI planes but what about this great floatplane feature.

The flyable Arado or the He-115 but its to big and need alot of work for the stations. Or the PBY one of the planes for land and sea :grin:

Pacific scenarios are incomplete without them.http://fulton.acswomen.com/01.jpghttp://fulton.acswomen.com/02.jpghttp://fulton.acswomen.com/03.jpghttp://fulton.acswomen.com/04.jpghttp://fulton.acswomen.com/05.jpg

Vultee Vengeance and Ki-44 please.
