You have to fly the slowest ugliest 109 in the war....pooey. I hope to god North Africa comes quickly because I suck in that E.

A North African campaign would be fantastic, and the F4 is also my favourite 109 to fly (well within Il2). The camo schemes do it for me as well

I'm looking forward to flying a lone Ju-88 nap of earth to targets deep inside the UK and back, hopefully. Or a Blenheim bombing missions into Northern France, just for a break in fighter ops.

Imagine this scene Tree on SOW's North Africa map.

Actually, i think that just because of the limited endurance the primary fighter types have, we'll see extended use of other aircraft and that's actually a good thing.

Bombers will be a blast to fly, especially online in well orchestrated and cunning sorties, thanks to the multi-level AI. Imagine for example if we can be radar vectored online, by AI or even human players.

Flights of Jabo 110s go nap of the earth, blow a few holes in the radar cover and the 111s and 88s stream through one of them. The map is big enough for the fighters to be unable to cover it easily or even effectively (fuel issues), the speed discrepancy between fighters and bombers of the time is not that big, etc. I think we'll see a lot of frustrated fighter pilots

I'm really hoping to fly an Anson.

An Airfix 1/72 Anson 1 was one of my first seriouis attempts at painting a model plane. I still have the poor thing somewhere.

I think it a wonderful looking plane. There is enough information around on the internet (see SimHQ's SoW forum, and SaQson's request for information 'While we are waiting for BoB') to easily make it flyable by a third party, though it would be nice if it was flyable by default in the original game release, or as an add on made by the development team.
I'm actually a little surprised it wasn't made flyable.
It would make a great bomber trainer, and allow for sub-hunting missions.

Sorry, I meant this thread at SimHQ, showing requests for information for aircraft model making:
