With Birds of Steel announced, what aircraft are you most wanting to fly?
 

With Birds of Steel just around the corner, and ideas flying around about what potential aircraft could be included, what are you most looking forward to flying? If your unsure whether its going to be in the game then what would your alternate choice be?

For me naturally its the Hawker Hurricane, everyone knows i love this kite :D

But with the introduction of the Pacific theatre, it lets me get to do some dive bombing and for this my chosen alternate is the Dauntless Dive bomber. It just looks like a great gal to fly, theirs just something about it thats beautiful. I love dive bombing in the dauntless on Battlestations Pacific, and this game will offer it again.


1) Hawker Hurricane

2) Dauntless Dive Bomber

I have 2 planes that I really want to fly.

1. Zero:-P:-P:-P
2. P-38:grin::grin::grin:

P.S Also I really want to fly the MC 200 Series 3, but don't tell any one.;)

Corsair,

Late Spitfires,

Zero.

Any 109 with a cockpit.

Should do for starters

nice thread bro!

for me it will be the top killer of the pacific war,and my favorite plane : the F6F HELLCAT
in second i would fly in the FANTASTIC JAPANESE FIGHTER : THE N1K2 SHINDEN "GEORGES" ,in my opinion no allied fighters can beat this plane at the end of war,only a technical probs and the no experience of some of pilots who flown in his board disturbe him to kill a lot of allied planes.the famous 343 kokutai elite squadron had n1k.
to finish why not a p61 or a GEKKO night fighter.

the 109's should have cockpits this time round i do believe :)

Which may be annoying for any pilots who like the gun site to be in the middle ;) hehe

P40
P38

The first Hurricane with the Vickers was MkIID :D the Mk IV is basically a MkII just upgraded enough to be called a MkIV.

MkIV sounds better than MkIID anyway... so i'll agree!! Get the MkIV in their haha.

Though if i'm honest.... with Malta being in the game i think its likely we will only see the old MkII's as we try to defend against ridiculous odds!!

Hopefully North Africa will be in the game though and the "flying can opener" can deal some huge damage to enemy ground units.


As for the rest of your choices... excellent!! Some great ones, most natably the Hawker Typhoon. Would love to do some low levelintercepts in the tiffy.

Roll on early 2012 so we can get this game!!

Or towards the end of the year when we will hopefully know what kites we will be flying.

Zero
Corsair
Hellcat
and of course the P-38


can't wait.

Well Capitano FOZ....you sure know your Hurricane's.....then again...you should do I guess from your sigo...:)

And about 85 others...

I have 2 thoughts about having 100 planes. 1 I hope they arnt as hard to unlock the 50 strike games for a b17 and some of the others were a pain in the ass and 2 imagine how long it will take to scroll through 100 planes to find the one you want lol

did they have a hurricane with pontoons?ok how about a pby then.

Ooooo forgot about the 129 if is has that big @$$ cannon in the "can opener"....tank killer config. that will be a blast!

Beside all of them the P-38 is the stand out for me.
