We'll revisit Tunisia. For those who haven't tried it, there are a lot of nice planes in this setup, on both sides.

Yet another non-historical setup.

Where's the Spit IX?

By the time the Germans were fighting their delaying action around Mar 1943 the Spit IX would have easily been in theatre.

Tunisia 1943 - Wouldn't have been the 1941 Spit Vb, would have been late version Vc's (I know we no longer have it).
At least the Seafire IIc would have been a standin (less than perfect admitedly), due to it's universal wing.
I really think we need the old Vc back, leaving the current Vb in.

Of course the famous "Polish Fighting Team", or the 31st FG, or the 52FG never had Spit IX's Spring 1943. or perhaps you should check your planeset.

Or I would ask that you look at using the IX as a sub for the late Vc, low alt performance is very similar.

Hardly suprising the LW are saying "nice planes" - 1941 Spit Vb v 1943 FW190.

dude why are you greifing? it's not like you play the arena or anything is it? there is no FW190A1 or A3 frankly I wish there were they turned much better that the A5. besides the allieds have far more overmodelled woobiecanes.

190A1 and 190A3 would be great additions. Unfortunately, we're not looking at any new planes until after CT's release, but I hope those are high on the priority list after it goes live.

Well if pointing out an OBVIOUS flaw in the setup is 'griefing', then so be it.

If you actually take the time to check on the 3 units I mentioned (there were more), all three operated spit IX's in Tunisia the Spring of 1943.

Funny - With the obvious anti old Spit V hysteria there was, you can bet this setup would never have been run prior to the remodel.

Maybe this type of omission or deliberate exclusion of the IX (or in other cases XVI) is perhaps the reason more people don't and won't fly in AvA.

Run a realistic planeset, you might get more people in the AvA, and have less 'griefing'.

After some debate, the staff has enabled the Seafire on C42.

Let's see what happens.

Kev

You really need to chill, be more polite and stop with the conspiracy attitude.

Instead if you would ask more politely the result would be much favorable to your cause. Its like when someone is eating candy and you want some of it, you dont insult him and then ask him to give you the candy do you?

So if you would have asked this way it might have gone better...

Could we please add the Spit IX to this setup?

By the time the Germans were fighting their delaying action around Mar 1943 the Spit IX would have been in theatre.

In 1943 the 1941 Spit Vb would have been replaced by the Spit Vc, which we unfortuantly no longer have. The SpitVc could be substituted with the Seafire IIc. Or I would ask that you look at using the IX as a sub for the late Vc, low alt performance is very similar. We really need the Vc back.

As it is now I feel its a bit unballanced with 1941 Spit Vb v 1943 FW190 so could you pleasae add either the Seafire IIc or the SpitIX.

Thanks
Kev

Something like that would give a much better discussion with less flaming and more productive results.
