For the brewster to be added .
1. All finns must download special finn AH.
2. This version has all other AC removed.
3. They must fly this said version until the next new ac is introduced.

Just quote and type agree below the quote.

Or at least, that's how I see it.

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.


Uh-oh.... you'd better look the white and blue avalanche dropping on your six..... :D

It was not that rare, WW. Again, like I said in another thread, you can't think of italian planes comparing their number with the Allied ones, or even the German ones.... pratically the whole fighter force of ANR used it as main ride in 1943-1944 period... it was an important plane for italian air force, and fielded in a fair number (150/200 exemplars... we have in game planes that were that rare) from the italian POV.

I bet G.55 would, oldman, just like the 205 is, right now! :)[/i]

Yes Zuum, you're right. But don't fly it as the US rookie pilots flew it historically against Japanese aces...

What percentage of total hours logged of gameplay are outside of the LWAs? EW and MW combined usually aren't half of one of the LWAs. I am not sure what you mean by '1945' plane, we don't have many planes if any that began service during 1945.

There are planes on that list that would see a great deal of use. A couple of them may even require a small perk to limit use.

I don't know how often you all get new planes or variants though, if its a long period between planes, than the Brewster is a poor choice; if they come at relatively short intervals, then I suppose it "could" be ok.

FYI: 1945 aircraft in this game, off the top of my head include:

Ta152H-1
F4U-4
P-47N (?)
109K-4 (Dec of '44, but how quick did they get to the units?)
La-7 (our 3-gun option was only around in the closing months)


EDIT: QuitV, the SEA has almost 300+ players in it many times during Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and even spreading into other days of the week. There are enough things taking place in there that it often has as much as either LW arena, depending on the time. Don't discount how many frequent the SEA.

FYI we do not have the Meteor yet.

This should be amended forthwith!
