Uf! that's a hard one to pronounce ... some silent consonants in there 

 

Silent consonants were secretly added during the late 1930s, in order to make detecting German spies easier.

I thought for that the British invented the word squirr... skwir... squerrlol... uff, SMALL THING WITH A FLUFFY TAIL FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!! ?

[FliegerAD]

I personally hope for a new P-39 variant, which - depending on the model - would be useful for a number of scenarios...

 

On the axis side I wish for a Ju 88 R2 fighter but realistically it will be a single engined fighter, probably a 109 or 190 variant.

Correct me if I'm foolish but isn't the La-5F allrey there with the  82-F modification choosable?

Its just engine onLa-5, its not real La-5F

[easterling77]

Ok you're meaning the one with lower back spine then?

 

If so count me in... better rear visibility is allways fine for me?

The A-4 is indeed quite likely because it would be difficult to fit into a new module as a regular, being a mid-war airplane.

If we get another module with the Luftwaffe as the main opponent, I think it will be a late war scenario: Fw 190A-9, Bf 109G-10, G14/AS, Ju 88 S, etc.

 

By the same logic, a mid-war Allied plane makes sense but one that was not just used by the Soviets... some P-39 and P-40 variants would have more universal appeal than the La-5F (and they would be no more difficult to produce).

ppl belive we are geting burma dlc, and later solomons or new guinea so stuff like more versions of P-38, P-39, P-40, P-47... Spits is probably saved for that. I expect russian and german airplane as collectors then only for long time if next 10 years are suposed to be without them as ppl expect... 

[76IAP-Black]

The La-5F is coming and im not very thrilled about it, minor difference but easy to build for the devs ... will be interesting if it pays off

[SYN_Ricky]

We already have the La-5F in game, via a modification of the La-5...

Might happen, if they don´t release a MTO module (aka Sicily 1943).

Only the highback, not the lowback.

[Motherbrain]

Ju-87B would be an instabuy for me for sure.

 

[migmadmarine]

Like, I ain't against it being added, especially if it is a comparatively simple addition, but I can't help but think an early or late LaGG would be a better addition to backdate it to the Moscow campaign/update it to a contemporary Kuban type if a close version is to be added, but ah well. 

[Avimimus]

I definitely see the argument for a Ju-87B/R (technically more important than a D5 - although that would be fun for night attacks towards the end of Kursk). I also agree that an early or late LaGG would be great.

 

Honestly, I thought the Fw-190A4 would be worth saving for a Leningrad module (although the issues with modelling large cities would seem to rule that out). It is an excellent choice for an operation Jubilee half-module (Fw-190A4/U18 were involved alongside Fw-190A2/A3)... and a Mustang I/Ia would make a good addition for that scenario as well.

I dont understand why would they make Finland and Leningrad DLC when players from Finland are still working on that map. If that mod map is added then they can just have more options to add collector airplanes that fit there. Make SP career for them using that map and your done. So you need to add axis fighter, and i expect 190 is next, no real need for it but i doubt next 2 would be both allied, and what early 109 would fit any existing early DLC, so i expect A4.

 

I also think early Lagg-3 or early Yak-1 are ones missing on east front from avilable fighters, but because picture from artstation of La-5F its logical to think this is what they selected, and if it is its another miss after churchill, spitfire XIV bubble... hope this was just random picture, and thats not next airplane they offer.

 

 

[migmadmarine]

The mark XIV isn't a miss, it fit's perfectly the design requirement for a training project since it's building on an existing type with some semi-dramatic model changes, that they can also make some bucks on the side from. Nice to be able to train someone with some immediate return on the investment of the training itself, and gives us something that by the sound of it will give the allies their first type with photo recon capabilities. Would be down to see a proper F-5 and/or F-6 after this.

Oh yes please. The Spit XII has never been done in any sim. Another important one is the HF VII, also never before represented.

yeah the g-10 must be put in reserve for a potential east front 1945 map

 

certainly does seem like the La-5F

 

and personally I hope either early spitfire, Lagg-3 variant, or Mustang I/II for the other. Mustang I makes a lot of logical sense for a plane but no evidence

A20G is badly needed.
And it seems like low hanging fruit.
I'm sure it's on the list because the 88c6 was released.

Not a chance... none of the GB series is set in 1940. I wouldn't get your hopes up.

[76IAP-Black]

Let's see if they suprise us here with the plane.

If we don't count in the La-5F, it could be interesting

 

[JediMaster]

I will add my vote to the "devs sounded like they were referring to a plane that would fit in with BoS/BoM ie earlier released module" theory as opposed to simply "early war".

 

I have no preference for what those might be necessarily, although I admit another variant of a plane we already have is not as exciting as something like the IAR that's truly new.

 

[ww2fighter20]

I just realized there an possibility 1 of the collector planes might be the Li-2.

 

While the Li-2 has been announced the same time as the C47 last year it was never put on the store as pre-order and the announcement back then mentioned it will be put as pre-order once work has begun on the Li-2, considering the C47A just released Ugra Media might have started working on the Li-2 so an pre-order could follow very soon.

Maybe picture of La-5F was from first airplane of next DLC and not next collector airplane  or maybe its just random airplane they pick to model for nothing exept show off in artstation...

Speaking of random artstation planes... a more advanced Fw-190D, maybe?

 

Since a Ta-152 is likely off the table, permanently.

Yes, both of these thoughts have occurred to me as well!
