SOLIDKREATE 1917 Posted November 9 (edited) Based on what we have in game I think it would be highly feasible to make the following planes: P-47D-22 (Razorback) P-51C (Malcolm Hood) / Mustang Mk.III A-36A / Mustang Mk.I (NA-97) Edited November 25 by SOLIDKREATE Added canopy description 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Legioneod 1532 Posted November 10 D-22 is a dream for me, I was working on a 3d model of one but it's on hold for the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Mosquito probably has a 30% chance of getting done. Unless they can make the B-25 flyable I wouldn't count on the B-26 because it is just as complicated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sevenless 1391 Posted November 10 (edited) First: Typhoon IB, Spitfire XIV, Mosquito Mk VI and if they don´t plan an early/mid 1944 ETO module additionally all three of em: P-47D-22 (Razorback) P-51C (blister canopy) / Mustang Mk.III A-36A / Mustang Mk.I (NA-97) Edited November 10 by sevenless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arthur-A 190 Posted November 10 I would also add P-51B and P-47C-5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The P-47C was probably one of the worst razorbacks blocks in terms of performance, it also couldn't carry wing bomb/tanks. P-47D-22 makes the most sense as a collector aircraft due to it's use in 44-45 and it would fit nicely in Bodenplatte in terms of performance and ability. It also had the best performance of any P-47D save for the D-27 and could also use 150 octane fuel which made it even more of a monster. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voyager 121 Posted November 15 I'll third the P-47D-22. It was one of the Lend-Lease P-47's as well. I do think that one should have both the the 100 and 145 octane settings, as the lend lease units, as far as I know, never got higher than 100 octane, while, as I understand it, most of the P-47's based in Britain did get the fuel, even if it wasn't until later that they were officially cleared to use the power settings.

Definitely, we should have the 100 octane for late 43 early 44 settings (WEP of 56" with 443 mph top speed at around 29k). From mid 44-45 we should definitely get the 150 octane fuel so we can be competitive in Bodenplatte, (WEP of 70" top speed 440-450+ at 20k) Numbers aren't exact of course but the D-22 was a very fast aircraft, faster than the D-28 with same power/weight settings.

I was going to say that I'd think it and the D-5 would need to be mainline planes if they do that time period, but it occurs to me it would probably be better for the campaign aircraft to start with the D-5 and D-15 for any mid '43 campaign, and have the C-2 as a collector's plane, simply because it is so limited. The D-5 and D-15 you could plausibly include the 135 octane gas, optional Water Injection kits and paddle propellers for something that could be viable across the entire war, but I don't believe the C-2 ever got those improvements. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SOLIDKREATE 1917 Posted November 15 I think from the D-10 onwards they used the Curtiss Electric prop. I know the D-10 was used in New Guinea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very few blocks of P-47s used anything but the Curtis electric. Only blocks that used anything different were the D-22/25/27 iirc, they used the Hamilton. Not sure when the P-47s went from the thin blade Curtis to the paddle blade though, I'd have to recheck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LF_Gallahad 1033 Posted November 15 We really need a Typhoon. Other P-47 and P-51 versions... I prefer they hold them for Med or Pacific! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sobilak 1 Posted November 25 P-51B/C birdcage and Malcolm Hood. Spitfire Mk IXC early versions ( RR merlin 61 engine ) P-47 Razorback. To be correctly all RAF P-51B/C and lot of USAAF on ETO has mounted British MkII Reflector gunsight . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SOLIDKREATE 1917 Posted November 25 I was thinking that could make the 'Hoods' as a MOD like they do with the Spitfire Engines. They same thing for the Spitfire Mk.IX and the pointed and rounded tail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
