A10...even tho i am likely the worst fighter pilot (sometimes cannot even take off), i would still love to see the A10 added to the game.
Nah, I don´t think I would be quite a good idea as it´s too weak in dogfights (except you get the vulcan in a proper position then it would be too strong) while it would be way to strong in air-ground attacks (strafing with the vulcan alone would be enough to destroy tanks)
Yes, a plane like US A-10 Thunderbolt II or the Russian SU-25 Frogfoot can be nice. Maibe better if they don't have AA weaponry, only choice between bombs and AT rockets.
The Frogfoot (Su-25) was my favorite weapon of all time in BF1942. Flew that thing for two clans. Barely ever used bombs - I was all about the cannon.
There are enough planes in BF2. I swear to God, some maps are just made for plane raping - Gulf of Oman and Kubra Dam to name a few - seems like you can't even enter a vehicle before getting wiped off the map by some Su-34.

Mmmmm.... MMmaibe i'm a little mad, but.... What do you think about an "all air" map, like the... Coral Sea (i'm wrong? Or was Midway? No, not Midway... bho! Ah! And the Battle of Britain too!) in BF1942? Sure will be not so realistic, but can be FUNNY!!!! ...
... .... And maibe in "normal maps" we can have a little less "jetwhores"....

I would like to see a coral sea type map. I do agree that it would not be very accurate, but maps like that can be real fun. I would also like to see an F-22 Raptor even though it would probably completely dominate the air, especially if they made it actually "stealth" by not letting UAV see it. Luckily I am more of a helicopter pilot and they added my Apache on the SF expansion, I can't wait until it is out!
A Harrier would also be great to see - not as "good" as the F35, but still a contender
I think the reason they don't have those aircraft, is because they are trying to maintain what is in the marines/navy inventory. Personally I would love to have the A-10 or F-22, not that I am biased or anything.audioboxer217 wrote:

although I would love to see the A-10 make an apperance it would just be way too powerful and would make the Armor useless, except for Karkand of course. and we would see a big surge in teamkilling for aircraft. nothing would be able to survive the onslaught of this plane. it would be like the blackhawk, the Mi-28, and the Su-34 rolled into one.
yah, prolly right about it being to powerful and tonnes of ...
anyone know of a good flight sim that has the A10? i think i need a fix of A10 action, i loved the old A10 tank killer game, but have not seen anything like it in sometime....(going waaaay back in case some do not know what i am talking about)

I believe there is an A-10 sim out there.....not sure though.
As for new planes, I would like to see two new planes (well, one helo and a plane, rather):
Su-37 (Russian fighter, can carry an extraordinary amount of missiles and has thrust vectoring, it can pull off some crazy maneuvers)
Ka-50 (Ka-52, for 2 seater) - Attack helo. Probably Russia's most promising attack helo.

i defaintely agree with adding the A-10 into the game. It would bridge the gap between the planes and helicopter. But it would have to be handicapped to just bombs and the canon, because mavricks would just spell doom for armor. And the ability to fly slow without stalling would be PERFECT.
Would make the AA usefull if A-10 were included - finally able to say you shot down a plane with AA
This is exactly what it would need to be, except the bombs, limit the A10 to the cannon and air to air, and maybe a few air to ground rockets like the helos have. Not quite realistic but it would balance it out. Also it would need to be armored like a flying tank b/c thats how it is. Also make the GAU-8/A cannon overheat a lot faster than any other aircraft cannon, but also make it powerful enough to take out armor. And loud as hell !!!!theoflow wrote:

Great idea.. i'd love to try that out.. you would fly in squadrons.. have a wingman or something... (ever seen Topgun? ) that would be sooo cool...Azr4eL wrote:
