All, the Italy set up is loaded. I may add a couple of planes yet, such as the Hurri-IIC and the C202/205 to the Allies. But will go with my original set up for the moment. Enjoy!:)

See Rule #4

LOL, methinks someone got caught low and slow by a Hurricane, maybe more than once.

Sabre - great setup sir.

I played it a bit last night and had some good fun.

Cheers

Thanks, guys. Yeah, the Hurri-IIC seems a bit uber to me, too. Ah, well, we'll see how the planeset shakes out. So far, it seems pretty balanced. Thanks again, to whomever created this map (can't remember who built it). It's cool!:aok

It was a CM Terrain Team effort - Dux, Gatso and I all had a hand in it.

Glad you like the terrain

actually no a hurri is easy to defeat. the cannon are the real culprit. it's the combination of a high pony or similar and a low hurri or four usually flown right over their own ack that tends to be a bit annoying to me. I'm sure everyone else loves that though.

I think the hurri2 is okay, balance wise. I don't think it's using steriods per se, but I think with the massive engine change from AH to AH2, the emphasis has been changed from turning to speed, and all things react differently (with the same parameters). So I think in AH2 it packs more punch than it did in reality because AH2 -- while currently the best -- still doesn't have it all perfectly proportioned, so to speak.

Storch: Yes, they can be very annoying if you get caught in their guns, but it's usually easy enough to avoid the guns and get a kill.

The only problem is if they somehow manuver onto your 6 -- then you really can't turn into them, or climb/loop over them, so you have to dive/outrun them. It's when you're busy with the 5 other BNZ planes and the 1 hurri2 cherry picks ya, that's when people start griping

Frankly, to me the two most suspicious flight models in AH are the Hurricane and Bf110. This is mainly based on BoB setups, but there is a reason the Spitfire and Bf109 were considered the best fighters of that battle. In AH it is rather clearly the other way around. The Hurri is much more manuverable than the Spitfire (which is certainly not how Bob Stanford Tuck described them) and the Bf110 seems just about as manuverable as the Bf109 while carring vastly more firepower. Remember, the Bf110s weren't locked to the bombers in close escort initially and the RAF fighters still chewed the heck out of them when they were in the same mission profiles as the Bf109s.

It seems to me that the Bf110 and Hurri models are a wee bit optimistic.

I agree about the 110.

It's beautiful, asw, and, unlike the old Italy, I get great frame rates in this one.

Thanks so much.

Wouldn't worry about it. All the allies are flying is Spit 9s.
