What COD AI plane would you most like to see flyable?
 

Thought it would be fun to make such a poll. And who knows, maybe the devs see this and it somehow affects their decision what to make first?

My vote goes for Do-17

EDIT: Poll can have maximum of 10 choices so I left out the Walrus, He-115 and Blenheim 1. Post if you want them :)

Gotta be the Defiant. It's so daft.

Wellington or defiant, I picked the welly.

As an official Defiant whiner on this forum, no prizes for guessing which aircraft I voted for. If the Defiant wasn't available, I would of voted for the Wimpy, Sunderland or Dornier 17.

its got to be the Wellington, hands down:grin:

Yep doc your right Whimpy all the way!!

Do-17, BF-108 would be fun too.

Wellington and BF-108, to give the allies some punch and the german side a trainer.

On a side note, this game urgently needs some transport aircraft like the Ju52.

Sunderland would be my wet dream. :cool:

voted for the gladiator. it is a fun plane and i would like to fly it as it was the main plane of the era of my country.

buuut, the game needs more of a british heavy. So wellington would be nice too

For me the Gladiator always win and could open a Malta campaign.

Dornier for me second choice would be the Beaufighter

I like big guns and radial engines.....Beaufighter for teh win!

the RAF needs a flyable bombers with a bombload with more than 1000lb - my vote is the Wellington !

I want all ;) but i vote for Beaufighter

I voted Wellington, but it was really hard not to click the Beaufighter!

therefore I vote for the Do-17, even that I stay with the desire of the BF-108...Well, I hope that sooner or later all are volables, and begin adding new aircraft soon.

ALL of them!!

But since just 1, then the Do-17/215.
It played a huge importance in BoB, yet almost no games have playable versions of it.

Well for me it would be two heavies, the FW 200 and the Sunderland. Both needed if we should ever be able to make convoies and have uboats.

I want an 4 engined plane, don't really care which one, but I feel the UK could surely use an extra flyable bomber. Guess wellington it is.

I would love to see the Heinkel 115 as flyable, the only one you missed on the list! With the Wellington and Condor as shared second.

I have an Anson propeller hanging on the wall at my place... That's why I voted it. Otherwise, both the Wellington and the Do-17 would be awesome!

I would have to say the Beaufighter, here's why. The Bea was one of the main aircraft used by RAF Coastal command and there could be some fantastic Missions/Campaigns built around the search for U-Boats and Shipping in and around the English Channel and West/North-West areas of Europe? I sometimes wonder how good the coding could be in the Sim, as future Missions could be inspiring if they could work some way of creating Photo-Recon Missions where the success of the Mission would depend on finding a 'secret' base/ship/convoy or armour and capturing it on an aircraft camera. The aircraft could have similar markers as the pilots/crew had, and you'd only know if you succeeded if the images when 'virtually' developed recorded enough of the target to be useful to your sides intelligence. PS. Hopefully in the future we'll see missions or expansion packs that cover the retreat at Dunkirk as the RAF tried to protect the troops and Operation Overloard. I'm just imagining the Armada of ships heading to France, ships launching Artillery barrages, Allied and Axis battling overhead and troops and armour fighting on the ground. Now that would be a 'Black Death Track'! Sorry for the lack of Paragraphs, replying on my mobile phone, cheers, MP

I voted for the Beau as it was one of my favorite 2 engine planes in old IL2 but Do17 is closely behind as it is a very beautiful plane.

The Defiant is a priori a must have for early stages of aerial warfare scenarios on Western front but I fear few players will fly it because as pilot it is only piloting no shooting or as gunner - well, you're just a gunner ... so only those liking to be gunner will actually fly it I think.

Do17 without a doubt.

I can't vote, i like too many of them :-P
In no particular order:

Do-17 and Wellington because bombers are fun.

Defiant for the "wtf" factor and funky multiplayer possibilities.

Beaufighter because multi-role twins are cool. Especially with the interface we 've been given, Mosquito and Ju-88 variants would be awesome in a future add-on. Want to go strafing load up guns, want to go bombing load up a glass nose, this way we can have multiple variants with just one slot of flyable aircraft.

Sunderland and He-115 because i like floatplanes and flying boats.

A lot of the above aircraft also have a history with operations involving radar, which is another of my long awaited for features in a WWII sim. While i don't fly modern sims because there's too much avionics work, the thought of hunting U-boats in a Catalina through the mist or chasing bombers in a night fighter with primitive radar equipment is something that i always found appealing, it would be like a cross-over between flight sim and sub sim due to the "cat and mouse" game involved with those early sensors.

And if you want to go really hardcore, think about flying a radar equipped Swordfish Mk.III in the convoy escort role :grin:

+1

Having all three of the major German bombers of BoB flyable would be very nice, and the Beau is the ultimate brute that is impossible to not like :)

Weapons of war should be like that, it should be obvious which is the wrong end, and being in front of a Beaufighter is obviously the wrong end (as with the Fw 190 ;)).

The famous quoute regarding weapon design from the "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" comes to mind:

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. "Make it evil," he'd been told. "Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with."
