Happy new year to you and yours as well slash.  will it be late war or early war?

I havent decided. I know Im going to go with a very limited plane set. Kicked around F6F vs Ki 61 as the only fighters. Im also thinking about leaving out the CVs as well and making base capture hard as hell if not impossible. I also thought a A6M2 vs Hurri I might be cool too. I get it posted later when I come to a final choice on it.

[storch]

FWIW the nice set up for two planes might be P40E v Ki61  The F6F v Ki61 will heavily favor the F6F.

I suggest Ki84 v F6F as a more fair match up.  remember that the allied planes are favored in almost every aspect.

An F6F can fly all day long with 1/2 wing gone, in fact it flies faster that way lol.

A6M2 vs Hurri I would be nice as well.

you might consider

F4U 1/F6F/FM2 vs Ki 61/N1K2-J/A6M5  as a nice set up a lil something for everyone.  before anyone says it I'll only fly the Ki61 or the A6M5 in that set up.  leave buffs out and no base captures and we have a nice short week before we return to yurope baybee.

That actually sounds good ...keep it simple

[Slash27]

Im leaving out the F4Us and N1Ks.  No running Hogs and no hobag Georges. Maybe that will cut down on the PAC anger levels. Maybe. Im still 50/50. More input is welcome.

In practice I've found the Ki61 to be formidable. I'd say that it will outclass a P40E by far and it is a good match for the F6F.

Ki84 is just uber. If you put it in vs the F6F the F6F will be slaughtered every single time.

Just my thoughts.

I always love it when the zeke is showcased. Seems like it always shows up with another choice (Ki's) and no one ends up flying it. Well, not NO one but it definately takes the back seat.

A6M2 vs HurricaneI sounds like the best matchup.

That's a great match.  So is the Tony v. Hellcat (Storch, you're welcome to the Hellcat).  For that matter, so is the Tony and the P-40E.

56th FG is coming to the CT this Thursday night, so may I suggest the jug d11.

Ki-84 vs Hellcat wouldnt be bad, it really depends on the pilot.  The Ki-84 at low speeds is very tricky until you get the hang of popping the flaps down.  Without flaps deployed, a slow Ki-84 is lunchmeat for a well flown Hellcat.

Dont sell the P40E short either vs the Ki-61.  Of course, I'll always be happy with any setup that includes the Tony.  Once the Tony gets some speed up, its dangerous, and even at slower speeds it's nothing to sneeze at.  I feel fairly confident flying a Tony vs an average pilot in just about anything else.  You arent going to run away from it in a P-40.  But I've seen some of the guys in here make a P-40 do some incredible things down on the deck.

I'd go along with a A6M2 vs Hurricane I matchup also.  These two are close enough to make for some nice fights.  The zeke holds an edge, but a good pilot can make the difference to even it up in a Hurricane.
