the inclusion of the new wwii planes obviously points toward more additions in the future. though i'm sure Zuperman already has a short list, i thought i'd put some suggestions here, and encourage others to as well.

just a few off the top of my head, mostly because at one time i had models of some of these:

Airacobra P-39:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_P-39_Airacobra

Corsair F4U:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vought_F4U_Corsair

Aichi D3A dive bomber:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aichi_D3A

Junkers JU87 dive bomber:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_Ju_87

this one might be too late historicly in the scope of the game?

Douglas A-1 Skyraider:

I guess in the WWII category, I have a couple requests.

First of all, what about the Grumman G-21A "Goose" (G-21A is just my favorite build, there are serveral other variations better suited to military use, such as the OA-9, that were actually used in WWII. Look up grumman goose on Wikipedia.)?

The Goose is by far my favorite ariplane, and though not the fastest in existence, it is very good for holding lots of bombs and ammunition. So I guess that's good since different planes have certain strengths. Another great thing about the Goose is that it is an amphibious "V-Haul" or "Flying Boat" type aircraft, a type of plane that you can set down on land or water. This would be a very interesting touch to Elite, having an amphib.

My other request is the B-24 Liberator. I'm not really sure if Zup is considering those types of planes for Elite, but it's a pretty cool one, anyway. Another classic from WWII.

airwolf, nice picks by the way.

Yeah, so hopefully Zuperman will see this and consider all the cool ideas on this thread.

Thanks!

Lockeed P-38 Lightning and Northrop P-61 Black Widow would be fun

It's already sent out on the 1.0.22 update

Got the update still getting connection loss when entering game.

My wishlist for new planes is all WWI vintage.. WWI biplanes is why I first started playing this game, and as there are tons of WWII games already in existence, how about sticking to the first war in the air and what brought us all here to play to begin with? Just my 2 cents..

From WWII, how about the Messerschmitt ME-262?

i thought of this one myself, but hesitated to suggest it, being the only viable jet fighter of the war. it would be really sweet though.

I only want one plane
