Sorry to bother the community as the request of new planes lies over the desires and will of our great fellows plane makers....but....in the last weeks I read a lot of post about great planes that are for me or too recent or with too little impact over main battlefront of a worldwide battles environment sim as IL2 is became in the last years!
So I came here to remind that at least 4 must have plane are still missing and none have asked for them in the recent past:
1) Beaufort (MTO and North Sea/Norway)
2) Maryland (MTO and France)
3) Baltimore (MTO)
4) Hudson/Ventura/Harpoon (MTO and PTO)
