I've left the F6F out of this setup - just wanted a few fighters each side. The IJN only has one naval fighter, yet there would of been 4 for the USN. The FM2 and the Zeke are a good match-up. The F4U-1D and Zeke are off-balanced. Zeke has turn radius, Hog has speed.

T-34's ll be almost impossible to stop. Only the Ki-84 will have any real use against them due to having a powerful engine and two 250kg bombs, and even then it will be hard.

Historically the Japanese anti-tank guns took a fearsome toll of the lighter tanks we emplyed against them. I don't recall many Shermans being used.

LOL, Karnak, would be the first time I ever saw tanks employed on Okinawa.

actually I might use this week to fly allied since the easymoders will all be in zekes anyways. it will be a good opportunity to fly the more difficult rides which in this case will atypically be allied, that l'il monster FM2 not withstanding. I wonder if lazs will log on?

Grits · « **Reply #9 on:** January 05, 2006, 10:58:15 PM »

You got that right Storch, the FM2 is a monster.
