4-12 wish list (Merged)

I don't know if people have been asking already but the F4U-4 would be a mighty addition to the plane set...

I mean this thing is beastly! 374 - 383 mph on deck and a max speed of 443-461 mph. Here's the proof report: http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/f4u/f4u-4.pdf

Vought was later bought and consumed into the mighty Northrup Grumman empire of which their aircraft are off limits due to legal issues. Stupid but nonetheless there will not be a F4U-4 added to the official version of the game... sadly I do agree.

What a beast of a fighter!

That is so lame. Oh well, no uber carrier planes for us then!

When did this happen exactly? It has to have been before Aces High and IL-2 managed to get the F4U's first.

Just after Pacific Fighters was released. It's why you've seen virtually no American aircraft added to the series since then. Their lawyers got a little bloodthirsty and went nuts on video games and plastic model makers...

The tide seems to have shifted a bit recently. The company that owns the AH-1Z Super Cobra recently went after EA for including that helo in Battlefield 3. EA fought back and nothing seems to have happened since then. So maybe that will be the end of it for a bit.
