It would be interesting to know which route the different countries took, say, if you tink of it as different doctrines.

Thank you very much. I'm gonna make a post on their forum that address this. As for the Ju187 for ground attackinstead of the Hs129, I think they, for some reason, decided to go for only single engine aircraft in the three columns to the left. What do you think of the aircraft customization...

Odd choiches for aircraft you mean?

Hearts of Iron IV - Developer Diary 9 - Vacation and Air tech US tech tree German tech tree I'm a big fan of this WWII strategy game (which is still in pr-alpha). I'd like to hear what you guys think of the air tehcnology aspect of it. The six columns are different classes of aircraft...

Thats an awesome link! Do you have the name of that book?

Thanks Greg and oldcrow. Great info :) I'll come up with a new chart and post it soon. As stated earlier, the point is to design an industrial doctrine tree for a grand strategy game (you chose what categories of aircraft to produce). The game already has such a system for land doctrines with...

This argument can be used both ways so it is not so ironic. Many Ex-Soviet soldiers joined Nazi-Germany. Even a general! War of extermination against who? The slavs? In case you mean the slavs, it is exagerated. If the Nazi administration were really that eager to exterminate the slavs they...

I take you are aware of that castrating the "unfit", gays and gypsies were more or less common in Europe both before and after the Second World War? This is not something that can be atomized to Germany, even though many people do this for political resons. Saying they killed the disabled is...

I didn't think of the air Air Superiority or Air Control Fighter before you mentioned them actually. But it indeed makes sense to have one of them instead. The aircraft design process resembles a bit to chaos theory it seems :p. But its Its quite fascinating, the trade offs between the...

I've been trying to find a map that illustrates airfields in Europe (Doesn't need to be all of Europe, over a country only would be better than nothing) in the 30s-40s for a long time. Seeing the forgotten airfields in the US thread i come to think maybe some of you here know of such a map? 8)

Thanks for the input and roger that. I mostly included heavy fighters as for their greater speed. This is a good point. In the game I'm making this modification for I'm picturing myself a system where some aircraft types can be converted to one an other. But I'm a bit undecided on how to this...

Thanks alot guys. All info you provided is really apprepiated...

Hi guys! I've been visiting this forum some times over the last years, but now I finally stepped down and made an account as this seem the best place to ask a couple of WWII aviation-related questions. I also made this thread in the technical division of the forum, but I'm moving it here since...

Thanks Thorlifter! I did mean famous as in popular. Like in popular history and by mainstream media. I wrote France and Japan in the parantese but meant France and Italy. Suggestions regarding them are also appreciated. I mean, if it makes sense to say those countries had that number of...

USA, UK, Germany, USSR and Japan (France, Japan). What do you regard as these countries six most famous aircrafts from the WWII period?
