BTW, if you're going to add an early war plane, I too would love to see the Mig-3.

Dude enough..the Brewster Model 239, would be totally out classed. And yes we do need a B-25 because I said so.

we don't need more U.S. ones as much as i like the b-25,

:confused:

British are one of the three biggest sets.  Japanese is much smaller, let alone Russian or Italian.

Consider also that the Japanese operated, if anything, a greater variety of aircraft than did the British.

Why would you want to see the F2A Buffalo in AH??  They were built in limited numbers, suffered many problems and were outclassed by all but the second rate early war Soviet aircraft.  The Buffalo saw all it's success against Russian early war fighters while being flown by the Finnish until later and better Russian fighters came along. None of the Russian fighters the F2A flew well against are in AH.  Furthermore, all the other F2A's that saw combat were in the PTO, where they were slaughtered by the Zero.  The Finn's were the only ones successful with it, and that was by chance and good fortune.  Total number produced was between 504 and 507. Brewster company just couldn't deliever what they promised.

the dewoitine 520 should be considered.  examples flew for france (vichy and free), italy (both axis and RSI) bulgaria and germany.  it would be a welcome and competetive combatant in any early war set up.

Early war planes are fun, but look at how many people are in the early and mid arenas right now.

Considering myself  in the choice of the next plane, I recall the importance and value of that type in itīs era or/and for counterparts.
For example, Me262 was an  exotic and excellent, almost divine fighter...but itīs moment at WWII was very short and it had no actual meaning to the war.
On the other hand, P-51D was a late war type too...but, that plane really changed the balance of hi-altitude fighting for allies. Although, that type was a rarity outside central Europe at the last months of war 1945.
This all is macroview. Big states do what they want.
Letīs have another view of point.
You hardly can see another plane or a single type influence and work in any other war arena or in frontline so effective as You can see Brewsters at Finnish-Russian front.
Please, take a look at this:


Ode to Brewster;-)

It is finally the time for Brewster:aok

I'll be voting for the P-39 and the B-25, both widely used by many of the Allied air forces.

If a 3rd were to be created....

G.55 is nice, but it was very rare.

He 111 will be a hanger queen.... Trust me. Good for the EWA and scenarios though. Ju 88 is better.

Brewster should be added, if for no other reason than to reward our Finn members for contributing so much to the game. They have certainly earned it. I would be quite happy to see it.

Ki-44 would be well used, but the Ki-43 is under-gunned and thus would be a hanger queen after the initial novelty wears off. Ki-45 is inferior to the 110G-2, and would not get a lot of use.

Pe-2 and Tu-2 would get less use than the B-25. Would be great additions tho, adding diversity to the plane set.

Yak-3 would be a nice addition, but was not as widely used as the P-39. Besides, the P-39 does add a VVS fighter.

A-26 would be a terrific addition, but the B-25 had a far greater impact on the war.

Me 410.... Doesn't fill any real need.

My regards,

Widewing

Outside of scenarios and a few hardcore Finn pilots, I don't see the Brewster being used much at all.

I'd rather see the P-39 as an early model, or the "Oscar". Just think of all the old AW type that would be drooling..... oh wait, with their ages they do that now!:D

Why that???
Brewsters` variants are capable fighters at Pacific.
