Setup for June 4th, 2004
« Reply #15 on: June 03, 2004, 02:42:09 PM »
Well, as everyone knows, late war VVS sets are my favorite (NOT), but I think perks are the only effective way to limit planes, not "rear bases". I have had the good fortune to get sick last saturday and have not felt well enough to fly, which is the fortunate part. Strangely, as it gets closer to set change, I feel better and better all the time. :)

Oh yeah, Arlo is right, the 9U is da bomb-digity.

Why is anyone worried about the La 7 when you have the G-10 unlimited?  G-10 kicks ass.



Possibly add the 51D at equally limited rear bases in the UK as a counter for the G10?   Nah, make them fly the 51B, she's a damn good ride.




Oh the carnage... enjoy your la la's for your last day!


Be happy they are taking my Yak away:D


And I've been shamelessly promoting the Yak9U. Be glad it's not taking if you're not seeing all that many

I guess Chanzz,tzr,Duke, you,and me are the only ones who know its the best plane in the set:aok

Basicly P-47 vs 109 and 190 hmmmm, did I not use to hear cries about F6F, F4F vs A6M2?

Oh wait, I' am sorry, neither do I fly here anymore nor did I realize what the "theme" was about... :rolleyes:

It's an EXCELLENT setup, Fork, please don't change a thing.

Bah.

We do have British and Canadian players who might have liked to participate in a 60th D-Day Anniversy setup.  This sort of limited sides should really be used for non-special events.

If you really can't stand Spitfires, give the RAF the Tiffie, Mossie and Hurri IIc.
