The best reason for the Buffalo...

The venerable Buffalo is the only aircraft to be used by both Axis and Allied forces during the war. (this does not include captured models of other planes)
Most of the people you meet in life are like slinkies. Pretty much useless, but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Sorry wasn't flown by axis.

The Luftwaffe operated some captured Hurricanes for training and education purposes while the Japanese captured two from Australia, though both were destroyed before they could be put to operational use as "Judas planes."

If you use Finland as the reference for that, you could say that about any of the aircraft they recieved from the Western Allies.

Although it was just to stop a land grab.
The Finns fought the Russians this by default sides them with Axis.

So you advocate the removal of the Finn skinned Mk I hurri?

I can agree with this arrangement. :)

Ok another reason to put it in. Have a look at EW. Barely anybody in. Get something to pull them in. Plus the bomber set you have in there. 88's. End list. Lancs if you got the perks to spend, but then ur in deep trouble if you run into like a 190. So then you have... 88's. BORING! Cum'n, Heinkel He 111 would help bring people into the EW. Used widespread and was the main German bomber for a good few years. Think of the other arena's other than Late war. Its not the only arena ya know!

I'd have a better chance in running into a Dodo Bird in the middle of rush hour, walking down the I-5 with two hookers in tow before I see a useful post from glock89- Ack-Ack

    * Service ceiling: 37,400 ft (11,400 m)


Armament

    * Guns:
               1× 30 mm MK 103 cannon
               2× 20 mm MG 151 cannon
    * Bombs: 2,200 lb (1,000 kg)


Failing that, I'd like to see the Me 410.


Even better....... G2 model JU 87
:p


man what I would give for that. I have been dreaming about that plane in AH since I first started :D
:aok
I don't know what to put here yet.
