Sopwith Pup series 10?
It seems to me that the Pup is the standout missing aircraft from WGF. Therefore, it seems likely for a series 10 release. (One can hope anyway)
If you could design series 10, what would you put in it? Would you include the Pup? Or go with the late war Dolphin instead? What do you put in for the Central Powers? How about the second Entente bird?
Yeah, I know this is years out and way ahead of the current things to look forward to, but personally the game isn't what it could/should be without the Sopwith Pup and I personally can't understand why it has been passed over so many times.
The Pup is a personal favorite of my grandfather who helped build the replica Pup found at theSan Diego Aviation Museum in Balboa Park, San Diego. He is a very old man now and can hardly see, but whenever we talk, we spend the majority of it talking airplanes and the topic of new WGF/WGS releases always comes up. When he finds out the Pup still hasn't made the release list, he always replies the same, "What a pity! Do the decison makers not read the history books?" to which I normally reply, "Of course they do, but other aircraft have been selected first is all". Which he always dismisses as hogwash and an outrage! He is very passionate about aviation and his favorites, include the PuP, Camel, Dr.I, and Gotha from WWI, and the B-17, Bf-109, P-51, C.205 Veltro, and F4U Corsair for WWII. From the jet age he loves the F-14, F-4, and A-10 and ALL stealth aircraft. Seeing as he is a composite, electrical, and mechanical engineer that worked extensively in the Stealth programs of the late 60s, 70s and 80s he is an absolute warplane nut! His favorite answer to many of my questions is, "that's classified" followed by a little wink.
