At least jeeps can run vehicle supplies, and run jeep races, and on some older, unused maps, could race downhill at uber-speed...... and 15 jeeps mobbing a town with troops is fun.

Oh....and jeeps can kill Tiger tanks...... from the inside..... wuhahahahaha

But, *this* thing? Better to ask for P39.......

Looks like the red headed stepchild that you just want to beat

I think it could give a few of the ew planes a run for their money

I say yes to all early war fighters as all the planes added to AH2 in the past 3 years or something like that have been Mid-Late war. There was not been once a single EW plane added. I don't know why people hate these EW planes. There the best. You won't imagine how early planes turn. They turn so will. Who cares if they have peashooters, cuz you just might suck at shooting. I've taking out plenty of planes with a Hurrican MK1 and Spitfire MK1 with its peashooters. Just get in close and BOOM! We have to many Mid-Late war planes, its time to get some EW. I really am sick and tired of mid-late war planes. I want something that sucks and has peashooters.

G.50 and P26 would be nice. The P-35 would be nice for an early war fighter for the US. Saw action in the Philippines. The I-16 would be cool to have and the Macchi MC.200 Saetta. Theres so many more.

Russian I-16 would be at the top of my list for early war planes. It served in significant numbers, and for a considerable period of the war. While not very fast, it had decent guns and could turn very well (IIRC). Plus open cockpit would be kind of cool:).

its used alot for getting GV supplies out to tanks on the frontline. Ive done a dozen or more of those runs this tour and i see them wizz by me all the time when i drive tanks.

You have to look hard tho cause they are small and very fast.

I agree the early war plane set is weak. There were a lot of early war fighters that could be included that would give a bit of spice to an otherwise dead arena. What's wrong with a few bi-planes? Wasn't the first air victory of WWII a polish pilot bringing down a Junkers bomber? (cant remember what type of plane it was.) Hitech and the boys should really be good at modeling these things by now. It shouldn't be a huge problem.
