414 wish list

[Marabekm]

Vindicators were used by the French air force, as the V-156F-3. It appears they saw action against the Germans and a few against Italians. So could be used I guess in a battle of France scenario on the English channel map.
Also used in the Royal navy and known as Chesapeakes. Not sure if they saw any combat.
And used by the USMC which saw action at Midway.

But at any rate I am sure we could all name many aircrafts to be added. I know I could. And if any do get added that's great. And if not that's good too. The team daidalos has already done so much.

+1

A flyable Blenheim is at the top of my wish list, for all the reasons you mentioned. Additionally, it gives the Finns an early war bomber type before they got Ju-88s.

A flyable Wellington would be a bigger task, but it would be the natural prey for the Bf-110G-4 NJ, should that plane ever be released.

A flyable Beaufort gives the Australians another bomber variant for SW Pacific scenarios. It also gives the UK/Commonwealth a hugely important type for early North African/Mediterranean campaigns.

Agreed. Sea Hurricane would probably be the easier aircraft to add, since it would require just the addition of a tailhook, and slight modifications to the control panel and/or cockpit.

Flyable Beauforts, Blenheims, Swordfish and/or Wellingtons would also open up a lot of possibilities for early to mid-war English Channel scenarios, since all those types were used. Strategically, 1941-43 English Channel Operations were unimportant, but they are an interesting, forgotten portion of the air war.

I wonder if they will ever implement Ship skinning?

I'm not sure it's possible.

But, the ability to create custom skins for objects other than aircraft would vastly expand the game's possibilities.

In particular, custom skins - possibly even the ability for mission builders to assign names to particular ships - would be very helpful. No more generic paint schemes and you can actually assign names to ships which participated in a particular battle.
