It would be a sweet ride to have.

Deffinatly would be perked... No doubt about it.

But any plane I fly should be perked.

if my jacked up brain is correct, i think it held the record climb rate untill the f-15 eagle beat it.

or something.

Don't think it could outclimb the 163... ;)

in an MA populated mostly with g10's, la5 and la7's, D9's and pee 51's...

Why not just let the unperked bearcat in?

Well..

La5 is a summer 1943 in service and plane.

La7 is a summer 1944 in service and combat plane.

P51D is a Spring 1944 in service and combat plane.

G10 is a fall 1944 in service and combat plane.

D9 is a fall 1944 inservice and combat plane.

F8F is a September 1945 plane, that was being shipped to the pacific and saw no combat in the war.

Thats why.  You comparsion is no good lazs, a full year and lots of actual service and combant seperates your set of MA planes from the F8F...

IIRC, didn't they have the Bearcat in "Aces of the Pacific"?  You could always beat Saburo Sakai in that one!  (or was it just the Hellcat.... memory fading with age....)

IMHO each new WW2 era (that means the genre is circa 37-46) plane that shows up in the arena offers yet another facet to the game.  It's like the old saying " it we build it, folks will come". I think whatever plane is added to the hanger will be flown at some point, by everyone so tell meagain why any plane for that period in history couldn't be flown n AH2? It is a game, isn't it? Besides wouldn't it be nice to not have to subsitute one plane for the real thing?

A plane is a plane so why would anyone complain if a new one became available?

As long as it can carry a tactical nook for shed killing I'm all for it.



Seriously, I can think of 20-30 planes we need before the F8F or F7F or any "well it almost made combat" plane.

Grun, Honestly what does it matter to you if its brought to the game or not? I mean if you dont like it you dont have to fly it... Or are people forced to fly what they dont want to now?

It was on WW2 ships otw to WW2 battle when the war ended. I'd say thats grounds for it to be modeled. Or taken into concideration.

Its kind of funny how the Bearcat rubs some people the wrong way. The Americans were stupid to make sure the bearcat and P80 were  ready for combat before they sent it to the front.

I say bring on the Bearcat and Spit 21 and  Tigercat and Ta152 and Tempest V and IL10 and Yak 3 to Aces high.

But thats me.

I love the Bearcat, but it has no place in a WW2 combat game. If you want neat postwar combat planes then please join me in asking for an AH set to the Korean war.

Pongo.

IL10, Yak3, Tempest V, heck even the Spit F.21 all saw combat in WW2, unlike the Bearcat.

Why do you guys even bother with the service and combat plane compartsions? It just makes yuou look desperete. Much better to just be honest and say:

"I really like Bearcat, I think it's too bad the war ended before it could take part but I still want one in the game  because."
