Okay, FF, I'm not sure if it's the beer, or if one of us is misunderstanding the other slightly, but I'm almost entirely in agreement with you, except for, maybe, regarding the loadouts.

Assuming I'm understanding you, I meant that the lack means HT thinks it's a bad idea. I've flown the F4 with and without, and while I like the firepower for intercepting, you couldn't pay me enough perks to take them into a furball (well, maybe you could). I guess my attitude is "let's not trifle with the details so we can get ToD the **** outta the way". This may not be good, but at least you know.

As an aside, I'm not turned off by the idea of ToD: AoE and Janes WW2 fighters offline campaigns were what got me interested in aviation games; I'm just concerned about an RPG that's supposed to be historically accurate and relevant, while utilizing or revolving around the one aspect of the existing game that is the least historically accurate- bombers.

How do you see the bombers as least historically accurate in the game? I would agree that the way their used by certain pilots in the MA is not accurate but not the planes themselves. I was under the impression that those none-historicaly accurate uses would not be possible in TOD.

OVERLAG, very good point! I do like the La7, even more so then the 109G6's (worst 109 to me) but if you have an La7 with the 3x 20mm cannons we should be able to have the 109G6 with the 30mm cannon, then again, they have redone the 109s so far, not the La7s, so if you give it time they may.

ADD THE XP-40Q-2!!!!!!! WOOO!!!!! lol

Perhaps when they redo the Lavochkin series, they'll take that into consideration.

You know what's funny, is that we all are such critics of the aircraft.  We talk like we've actually flown the real deal.

All us part time historians screaming we've got this document or image that proves we should have this particular version of our favorite ride in AH.

I find that I just enjoy taking what's available and not worrying about the rest.

I've also found that I still don't want the best ride or the ride that everyone else is in.  I flew the clipped XVI cause I've loved clipped Spits for 25 years, but I got back in my old 38G again because all I was seeing was Spits, 109s and LAs.  In the end it gets boring that way.

I want to fight and if I die, as so often happens, so be it.  I can't outrun much of anything, I can turn fight reasonably well in the G but not for too long against the light weights, but it fits for what I enjoy.

I suppose I could scream for a 38F or H, or even an E but you know what?  The G is just fine thanks.  And I suppose if I looked hard enough I could find something 'wrong' with it and produce information to demand the change....but what do I know, I'm just having fun as is :)
