Why cant we sub the N1K2 for an a6m3



 Anyway this looks good to me thank you for leaving out the sst bombers.

[Telstar]

no, no, no, you can't do that..... if you did then you'd have to sub the CHOG for the N1K2!

I’m using the Spit-I to make up for the fact that we don’t have the A6M3 to counter it, plus to simulate the poor performance of the Spits due to maintenance issues.

Thank you for running this setup, Sabre.  I've been wondering how the Spit I would match against the Zeke for quite awhile.

Now I know.

I like the Spit-1 in this set-up, it gives something for the A6M2 to look at while I dive on them in my P-40B and kill a few zekes

The USAAF's 33rd Fighter Squadron was at Darwin at the time of the Japanese raid (February '42). They flew P-40Es. They were waiting for clear weather to ferry over to Timor, guided by a B-17.

Its all about Tactics in the CT. Nobody wants to do it, they just want to turnfight, kill then be killed, replane and do it again.

The P-40E and the Spit V would have slaghtered them with thier current CT Furball "State of Mind".

ALL
M's
C-47


Allied
P-40E
Spit V
Boston III
Cruiser Fleet

Axis
A6M2
A6M5b
KI-67
D3A
B5N
2 CV Groups & 1 Escort

allies will completely dominate the AA aspect..  give the axis the Ki61

[LtMagee]

give the axis the Ki61

Then the Axis will dominate the AA aspect. They will have a plane that can catch and out turn the P-40E.

The only interesting change the Tony would add is BnZ capability for IJ forces. Which could be a good thing. Plenty of pilots enjoy BnZ combat. One of the problems with the Darwin setup was that Allies had this ability and did not have to worry about Axis planes doing it to them.

I'd be willing to try this set up next go around, just to see how the texture of the battle would change.

Don't pout, Storch.  I felt the set up deserved a full trial, and while not everyone cared for it, enough did that I let it go the full week.  While there have been more popular set ups, there have also been less popular ones.  I went on-line several times where there were in excess of 30 people on.  Not stellar, but still a fun number of people.  I tend not to "fix" a set up unless it's truly broken.  I'll I'm saying here is that I think it's worth trying again with the later planeset, both because some have requested it and because I'd like to see how it changes the flavor of the combat.  Anyway, I thank you all for the feedback.
