Will I think we should have some French planes. I mean they did fight in the war. They fought even when they surrender known as Free French. No matter how long france fought in the war, they still fought on the ground, air, and seas. So why can't we add some of there fighters to this game? I mean if France lasted for another 5 months those fighters in few numbers would have grown in bigger numbers. I say bring the D.520 and the Hawk 75

French planes would be neat to have, but ultimately, they'd end up being hangar queens. Fastest fighter posted so far has a top speed of 328mph. A very small handful may find success with them, but imho, the time spent could be better used elsewhere.

Would need a few new options in-game -

French planes - Ability to signal your surrender.
Italian planes - As soon as the enemy gets near you, you automatically change to their side.

That's hilarious

I would say yes to all french planes. ( as I would say ANY early war new planes)

Especially Morane Saulnier ... ( you know why)

Curtiss Hawk would be also nice, it was Lentolaivue 32's (LLV32) main ride during the war.

Stoney74 · « **Reply #20 on:** July 21, 2006, 10:38:43 AM »

Don't we already have the Curtiss? Only we've got the version with the water-cooled Allison. P-40B and the Hawk darn near identical planes except for the powerplant, right?

OF all the planes posted I would have to say we should have ATLEAST!

The D.520 becuz even though they fought for so little time In that time, they had 108 confirmed kills and 39 probables, losing 54 to enemy action.

and ATLEAST ONE French Bomber, just for the sake of variety

actually commodore perry kinda set the stages for WWII in 1853 when he sailed his steam boats into tokyo bay... (you guys need to read the book FLYBOYS) he sparked the niponese build up that eventually led to the attack on pearl harbor

We have a French Ju88 skin in game, does that count?

I blame anglo saxan barbarians. If they hadn't caused the gradual demise of the Roman Empire, then we all could have been living peacefully under a ceasar ruled world!

Ther Germans lost, the Japanese lost, yet we still have planes from them, they merely lasted longer.

to my understanding,

The poor french where taken completely by surprise when the German army came bustin in through the ardenne, keep in mind that the french where quite ready for another world war(maginot line), just not a world war that was in the mobile fashion the germans were using by their use of the blitkrieg(how u spell that?) stratagy. IF, on the other hand, the second world war took on a form that resembled that of the first, i believe the french would have handed the 3rd reich a right firm beating, or would have atleast held them at the maginot line. the french where simply unready for it.

to my understanding:cool:

AKWarp That sight is a GOOGLE hack. I'm surprised it is still up.

As to having early war planes in the MA, let me just tell you that last night I took up a P-40B and got two kills with it and landed safely. One was a LA-7, and the other was a N1K2, I also took up a Spit 1 and killed a P-51D,P-47N,and a N1K2. So I don't want anyone telling me that early war stuff will be useless in the MA.

The D-520 looks like it could be a match for the 109-F in firepower, and maybe turn like a Hurricane. I've p0\/\/n3d n00bs in a Fredrich, and both Hurri I & IIC's.
I like em for the challenge. I ues the early war stuff to hone my /\/\4d 5k![_z, Because one mistake in them and you will be in the tower fast.

Bring the; D-520, M.S.406, and Hawk 75/P-36, and let the Perk farming begin.

Yoshimbo · « **Reply #29 on:** July 24, 2006, 02:11:59 PM »

thank you for your input.

see, early warbirds don't alwyas mean yer gonna die, or their just gonna sit around in the hangar nvr to be used.

and i agree, they do make for a very good challenge.

I hop in the hurr1, p40e (and now the e sumtimes also), from time to time, sumtimes i score sum kills, sumtimes i don't, but isn't that true for all planes?
