add f4U-1C & D, P47-11-25 to mid war

[GGhost]

It would be nice if you could add F4U-1C & D Corsairs to the mid arena. Or maybe add F4U-1C to arena as a none perk points plane. Also would be nice if you could add P47-11-25 to the list. And maybe come up with the P-51C model mustang.

Thanks GGhost

1C and 1D didn't enter combat until 1945, so no go.

HOWEVER, if HTC adds the 1A I can see her as a mild perk ride in the MWA

The F4u-1d went into  service in April of 1944.

Seems pretty midwar to me, 28th month of a roughly 44 month war.

please HTC consider it.

Sounds like your an american, doobs....

Most consider the war to have started in Sept, 1939 -- not December 1941. It ended Aug 1945, which would make it a 72 month war for the Europeans and allies. That would make the F4U-1D intro date 56/72nds into the war, or clearly in the last third.

Even 72 months is a anglocentric number, though, since the Japanese began the war in China starting July 1937.

In any case, while dates are important to arena assignment, dont forget that play balance and feel are at least as big.

We already have the P-51C -- its the P-51B, only made at a different factory. That's the only difference, believe it or not!

HiTech apparently needs to add a sticky in here reminding people of the timelines that define the arena splits...

Hi Tech said:

"Early mid and late are relative terms. As things are split up now, it's generally a mid period of mid 42 to early 44 with early and late being outside of that. As with many things, I'm sure this will evolve over time."

Perhaps "over time" there may be adjustments to the plane set...
