Toblerone77 & Others,
––Yes, with the plethora of OOB, HBG, & FMG units ALREADY produced a lot of unit categories can already be filled,…at least partially until we’re able to buy better detailed ones from HBG.
For example look at the 4-Engine Heavy Bombers already available:
Germany……JU-488…HBG
Italy…P.108…OOB(1940-Europe, 2-E)
America…B-17…OOB
Britain…Lancaster…OOB(1941)
Anzac…Halifax…OOB
Russia…PE-8…OOB
----And let’s not forget that we already have some Fighters that can be used as “(2-engine) Long-Range Fighters” such as a P-38 for America and an ME-110 for Germany.
––In some categories we even have three choices (so far) of like units for the same category and there are enough units to enable NEW UNIT categories, like using some HBG DO-17 Medium Bombers as **“Recon”**aircraft. Since I already had JU-88s and HE-111s to fill the German Medium Bomber category, I had “LHoffman” designate my DO-17s with an “R” decal to reflect this. Along these same lines we can utilize the Anzac PV-1 Neptune from the 1940-2E as a “Recon” aircraft for all of the Allies and JAPAN. We also have the P-40, CA-12, I-16, and ME-109 available for use as “Early-War Fighters”. For a “Fighter-Bomber” we have the F-4U Corsair so far.
––I’d really love to see a P-40 Thunderbolt, A-20 Havoc, and a BeauFighter produced (are you listening HBG) that not only could be used as designed,….but could fill some gaps in NEW UNIT TYPES if you so desired. A C-47 unit could be used not only by America, but by Britain, China, and JAPAN as well!
----We now have many units available for implementing NEW UNIT TYPES if we choose, Thanks HBG, and they’re not finished yet,….by a long way.There’s lot’s to consider. I only wish our “WarMachine” gang could get them all modified/detailed/painted/decalled as fast as everything is coming out but that would be asking the impossble. I’m certainly proud of what has already been accomplished by them. Oh well,…just some of my ramblings. As I’ve said before,…What do Ya’ll THINK?
