Please make it so!

Typhoon would be my favorite because no recent simulator modelled adequatly this very important plane

Seconded. Also where's the Mosquito, that was a fun attack aircraft. Ground and sea attack all the way for me.


Would I be crazy for just wanting to fly cargo missions over the hump in Burma? Long time away if at all since they're starting in Europe, but I can dream. As long as I'm dreaming, how about a PBY Catalina, you can do a million things with those.

Voted Lancaster; indirectly for night missions.

I would like to have all of them also voted for the B17 I have had a long love affair with the Fortress. Would be fun to try and make the 25 missions and go home to sell war bonds. The Liberator would also be nice.

Respectfully, perhaps you are forgetting that most of us on the forum have two favorite past times.

1. Fly WOFF UE

2. Obsess over what the devs are going to do next.

I'm not saying we have any expectation of you taking your cue from what we obsess about. It's just the act of obsessing that seems to scratch a certain itch. LOL

That must be me then - recently retired, so therefore simply confused and with way too much free time

No problem, Sandbagger. I thought the same as you. It seems WM was just in bad mood when wrote his post.

Dude. All of them!

There are two planes that I'd love to fly: the F4U Corsair, and the P-51D. Obviously the Corsair won't be there, so I voted Mustang.

I mean, I can't wait to fly a mustang that is even close to realistic, but honestly, if the game compares to this one, I'd fly whatever bucket of bolts and thrust you put out there.

Here's my ticket, get me some sky and a seat in a fighter. I'm good.

Well, I have more then my share of confusion, but I'd be willing to buy some of that free time off ya! That I could use...

Me 110 with the Bee art work on the nose!

Beaufighter! Sorry, can't help myself.

But which plane did you pick?

As mentioned by others before, whether OBD rolls out of the gate with the B-17, or comes out with it later, flying for VIII Bomber Command/8th Air Force hasn't been done right for, how long?

"The Mighty 8th" was as much, if not more, a RPG than a serious flight sim.

And there were B-17s added to IL-2 1946 and CFS3 as mods, but not as part of a supported product.

Flying an extensive career with the VIII/8th in WOTR has the potential to be huge. I know the bombers are a smaller niche, but that itch hasn't been properly scratched in this century! And the WOFF campaign engine will be perfect for this!

Tearing into these big guys, or trying to protect them, or survive in them, its all there baby, daylight raids over Europe!

Can't wait.

I'm all about fighter aircraft, but yeah, I would absolutely do a career with the 8th.

Imagine recreating Operation Chastise...flying with 617 squadron in a Lanc.
Flying just 60ft above the ground to bomb the dams in the black of night.
Go on Devs make it happen

My misspent youth was lived 10 km (kliks) N of that dam. Often rode my bike there and soaked it all in.

I bet you've a lot of good memories there Shredward

@Ric..now your just teasing mate

I'm a fighter type and yeah, if we're going into Germany, it's the Mustang. I realize that we can't include the *COUGH, B/C, COUGH* mark we prefer so I'll just *COUGH, B/C, COUGH* leave it at that. Damn...what's wrong with my *COUGH, B/C, COUGH* throat today? *COUGH, B/C, COUGH*.
