New Poll: Which LW plane do you want in BoS?

[heinkill]

You know the RoF model. A couple of planes may come with the basic download, which may or may not be free to play at launch, but if you want more kites, you will probably need to buy them. Either singly, or in bundles.
 
So make your pitch here for which plane(s) you want!
 
Use this thread to try to persuade other simmers to your choice.
 
(If you want to debate the RoF cash for content model, you should probably start another thread...this isn't the thread for that debate.)

I'd love to see a Ju 87 with the detail level of the Ju 87 B-2 in CloD but with the system errors corrected, with the correct operational procedures for the ETC controls as well as a separate fuse box (which was missing in CloD). That ... and a Hs 129.

[AdlerAngriff]

I agree with heinkill. They should make the model the same as ROF it's a money saver. As you progress through the career you buy one plane at a time. If you just want to fly VVS you just buy VVS aircraft. Also the Field mod packs are great.

 

I hope they take this into account.

 

Anyways the G2. I love the Messerschmitt. It's just THE ww2 fighter. So much character. Beautiful german machine, great for downing inexperienced Ivans :D

 

Also it's a traditional thing for me, like the successor to the Bf's over Spain and so on, like a continuation of Germany's air force rebirth.

[GustavEicken]

Definitely want to see the BF 110 make an appearance

[LFLFServer]

Lend-lease planes would be a good add on for first pack (If the planes comes in pack) and the most famous of the  battle be standard whit the title

[heinkill]

I put a pretty big list up there but as the sim is called IL2, I guess it would have to ship with . . . the IL2 included, right?

 

And you'd need a Yak as escort so they'll prob include the Yak 1.

 

And you need a couple of opponents, so the 109e and Hurricane because they can just port those over from CoD...

 

That's my bet for the base game.

[J2_Trupobaw]

It depends what planes are included for free / as part of starting package. If you ask what single plane I could not live without, it would be a Bf-109F. However, If we assume RoF sales model, I'm sure some variant of Bf-109 will be included for free, along with a free Soviet fighter. And once I have one Bf-109, collecting other variants may not be my highest priority. (But then, I thought the same of Albatroses)

Therefore, I vote for Hurricane as my first non-standard fighter, with Il-2 as close second. It's completly personal fetish - I just don't think any WW2 sim is complete without the Hurricane.

[Roast]

Not seeing planes like the I-16 and I-153 in the above list means that they will be automatically with the game's release?

[Binky]

After reading Stuka Pilot, I'd love to see a campaign featuring some JU-87's

[ATAG_Slipstream]

No flyable Dornier 17?

You fail. I have been waiting for one in a sim for years, and it may possibly be the only thing I would fly if it was made.

[csThor]

Do 17 had been phased out at the end of 1941. The last unit to fly it as bomber (15.(Kroat)/KG 53) went back home in December 41 IIRC.

[chdt]

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Hs129.

Perhaps none at Stalingrad ?

Hurricane I DH with 87 octane,  Rotol with 87 and 100 octane

Like all the Il-2s in Cliffs of Dover?

[Moebelwagen]

Ju-88A4 - with all features implemented, that did not work properly in CloD!

[Jaws2002]

The IAR-80/81 of course. A lot of those German and Russian planes will be in there any way, so the IAR-80/81 is the first logical choice. Romanian air force was the third largest air force on the eastern front, the IAR is the most important aircraft they had and it was very active in Stalingrad area. Obviously, it's drop dead gorgeous as well.

 

Edited December 15, 2012 by Jaws2002

[[LAS]URURolf]

Hs129.

The Ju87, and the il2 must come as part of the first pack. 

Also a Bf 109 F4, and a Yak-1 or late LaGG

[Kodoss]

Could someone please change the Bf 110 F-4 (Nachtj???

[AndyJWest]

What is everyone voting for the Fw 190 proposing to use it for? Any offline career is likely to be a duckshoot, and I can't imagine multiplayer servers filling up with people wanting to fly a Yak 9 against it. Leave it for the sequels....

[Trident_109]

I agree with Andy's sentiments. I can be patient for the 190. I'd prefer historical plane sets. I'll take a P-40 or Macchi 200 - 202 please, and since I can only vote for one it'll be the P40.

[Volkoff]

I would like the La-5, Yak-9, and Yak-1b.

Edited December 13, 2012 by MishaJames

[FlatSpinMan]

Exactly - delayed gratification. Limit it to what should be there, otherwise we'll have the Lurch in there.

[RedSkyTank]

hmmm, $10 per plane .. hmmmm sounds reasonable if you get ALL variants of that plane, a tad pricey if NOT.

 

I would hope BOS comes with a number of aircraft standard - IL2, 109F, 110, I-15 etc

 

I like the idea of paying for extra content - Extra gound vehicles (KV, Bt20,Panzer 5&6 etc etc)

 

.

[FlatSpinMan]

But could you call a 109 Emil the same plane as a 109 Koenig?

Armament, weight, performance, canopy, tail fin, etc are all different. The basic outline is about the same but that's about it really.

 

Going by that and RoF's current model, I'd expect each major variant to be a separate purchase.

 

That said, RoF does offer at least one plane, maybe more, that includes two variants for the price of one. I think it's due to different engine ratings, but I am not certain. Someone will clarify no doubt.

[hiro]

I voted P-40 . ..  they should have certain planes for free, that make the core, like  IL-2, the I-16, a 109, yak or . . . and then at least one twinnie for each side, and one recon for each side, and a rare plane for each side. One variant . . .

 

Then make the rest of the planeset add ons. 

[Sim]

Fieseler Fi-156 "Storch" C-3

 

Not on the list... :/

[AdlerAngriff]

Fieseler Fi-156 "Storch" C-3

 

Not on the list... :/

 

Hahah, +1 yes deffinitely

[Feathered_IV]

Yes, definitely the Storch.  And a dangerously overloaded Ju-52 to fly in and out of Gumrak.

[SJ_Butcher]

the Fw190 is the best ithout that plane I can't enjoy the new sim lol

[ATAG_Slipstream]

They have to make what will sell though.I know some people will buy a Storch and a JU52, me included, but enough to offset development costs? I think it will make sense to stick with the main aircraft (109s, Yaks, P40s, Stuka's etc) something for everyone to start with, and hopefully pad it out as we go along. And yes the IAR!

No planes that weren't there, and correct FMs as a priority.

[RedSkyTank]

MUST have a flyable Me 323 to drop Panzer 5s behind enemy lines ... ... BEHIND enemy lines ?? .. well a few minute ago it was our lines but the time it took to type this .....

[BlitzPig_EL]

The base plane set will have to include the IL2, and a Yak for the VVS and a Bf 109 and Stuka for the Luftwaffe.

 

After that I, being the Curtiss fan boy that I am, will have to have a P 40.  It was a very important aircraft for the VVS and it served not only in the fighter, but also in the ground attack role.

 

After that, an IAR and I 16 or I 153 would be my next choices.

[Sven]

Of course being the BF109 fan that I am, I have chosen the obvious 109

 

However, I'd like to see some lend-lease planes for the VVS,  like Hurricanes & P40s ect.

 

But also some early soviet warbirds like the I-16 and the U-2 trainer/night-bomber/reconnaissance aircraft.

[150GCT_Veltro]

Macchi 200 but the Germans first off course.

Edited December 13, 2012 by Veltro

[PrvtSNAFU]

FW 190 is not BoS, unfortunately, so my beloved E7(b) gets my vote. P-40 would be my second.

[ST_ami7b5]

Voted Bf109G2 since I think Bf109F4 will be included in initial package.

Still, as some others said, I don't like the Fw190 option.

It simply doesn't belong here and would 'destroy' the realism right from the start...

[I-WVoss]

Voted Macchi 200   , Italy participated in Operation Barbarossa and were allocated in the Stalino Airfield.

As JG4 member of course all german fighter planes but i would also like to experience the winter tragedy of Stalingrad with unpredictable weather as a Luftwaffe transport pilot. For example in a Junkers Ju52 a most important plane for this szenario. The Luftwaffe lost in the period between november 24th and january 31th 266 Junkers Ju 52. In addition to the Kampfgeschwader flew also Focke-Wulf Fw 200, Junkers Ju 90 and Ju 290 from the Kampfgruppe z.b.V. 200, Heinkel He 177 from the KG 50 and Junkers Ju 86 from KGr. z.b.V. 21 and KGr. z.b.V. 22 thousands of transport missions to Stalingrad.
