 blasphemy, sacrilige.  why, everyone knows that germans immediately flocked to the southern cause, many were imprisoned in detention centers throughout the south, highly skill pilots and maintainers.  engineers escaping through south america arrived and set up messerschmitt and focke wulf plants in texas supplying the noble southern cause with fine competetive aircraft to augment the captured facilities in kansas producing P51s and B-26 bombers as well as the mighty corsairs notably the F4U-4s.

the north was stuck with grumman and republic in new york as well as north american aviation and lockheed production in california

it looked something like this

the damn yankees and their commonwealth allies

FM-2
F6F-5
P51D
P47N
P38L
spitfire XIV
Tempest
Mosquito
B-17s
Lancs


the noble south and the brave german expatriates

Bf 109G-14
Bf109K-4
Bf110G-2
FW190D-9
FW190F-8
Me262A-1
Ar 234
B26
Ju88
captured yankee manufacturing facilities turning out the following

P51B/D
F4U-1C
F4U-4


lots of tigers for both sides

Not my cup of tea. We would just fly in the MA.

I wish the Pearl map was ready for use. Oh well.

Hey I am easy guys. Early, Mid, Late war is all good so long as it is Allied VS Axis.

[daddog]

So any plans yet?

[Slash27]

Well, in my joking about an "American CIvil War" set up. I didnt realize I was up this week. I havent seen Finn/Russ in a while and I really like that 109F. So Im going with that.

[storch]

can't go wrong with that plan

[daddog]

Thanks Slash. As soon as you have a plane set could you post it?

[Panzzer]

Here's those that I remember quickly:
109F4, G2, G6, 190A5, Brewster (FM2), Ju88, Ju87, Bf110G2 and HurriI
against
P40E, La5, Yak9T, Il2, Boston and HurriIIc.

But the plane set might include some more which I can't remember right now..

[Slash27]

Panzzer covered it. Im curious about leaving out the FM2 and Hurri IIC. Id like some feedback on this from you guys. I dont care from them being in there but they always have been.

As near as I can tell, they are there simply to balance each other.  I have often thought that the Buffalo would be more accurately represented by the Wildcat than by the FM2 - but then people would have to learn to fly the Hurri I in order to be able to defeat the Hurri II.  And:  I don't know if the nice Finn skin for the FM2 will fit the Wildcat.

AND:  FinnRus has always worked so well, as is, that no one has dared to fuss with it.

BUT:  I'm for trying whatever you'd like this once.

I agree with Oldman, i would think the wildcat was closer to the Buffalo than the FM2.    If you have the P-40E why not the P-40B also
