Think it big!
Think it at 1940...
Imagine!!!
In the skillful, well-trained hands....Brewster is all-american, really worthy and... equal opponent with Zeke.

Finns proved the worth  and  capability of Brewster.
Let others do the same!

Brewster rocks!!!

Check out the G.55
« Reply #396 on: March 24, 2007, 08:07:52 PM »
Check out the G.55...

Better than the Me109's and C 202/c205

Plus, excellent armament
2x 12.7mm (.50Cal)
3x 20mm

Found to be excellent in intercepting American Bombers
Considered Superior to the Me109

Check this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_G.55

I vote G.55!

I have done research on the "Brewster Buffalo" and if im correct the designation was the F2A, these planes according to my research were bad even against A6M2 and A6M5 'Zeroes' and were later replaced by F4F Wildcats... Sorry if im paranoid but I hope we do not add bad plane like that into AH :noid
Information on the Buffalo is found here http://www.daveswarbirds.com/usplanes/american.htm
To navigate this website... use the navigation toolbar to the left, the F2A Buffalo should be located at the Top of the "Fighters" Section
Plus more info to reveal the truth about the Brewster Buffalo's inadaquacy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewster_BuffaloSUPPORT THE G.55

We currently have no contemporaries for any of even the most advanced French designs, anyways. I realized this as I was thinking how to reply.

We don't have the 109D or the 109E-1, or the Hurricane 1 with the 2 bladed wooden prop, or the early low octane spit1 with the wooden prop. Hell we don't even have the early Ju87B model. And those are just the contemporaries for the best (the D.520). We don't have anything old enough to combat the older (more common) French designs. So there's really no hole there... more like a sheer cliff with nothing before XXXX date. The French ones are off the cliff, so to speak. You might as well ask why we don't have the Gloster Gladiator, the obsolete Cr.42, the He51, and so on. They just are below the proverbial cut-off point, it seems.

We just don't have anything at all before a certain point, and the French ones seem to be before that point. If you add 1 you have to add 10 more just so it has something to compete against in scenarios.

The meteor is a good idea. Although i know people will lash out at me because they know it was used to kill the V2 flying bombs, AH could make a second use out of it - an interceptor - to put up a good fight agianst a ME-262, and to also brings equal game to scenarios like FSO were only axis have jets, which gets annoying sometimes.


Anyway, since i know the not gonna add it, i don't why i posted this. :aok :rofl :aok

IMO, you put any other jet in, besides the 262, and the 262 becomes a hangar queen.

Especially if you put in the Meteor Mk.III. More manuverable, quad hizookas, actually able to dogfight.

Let's face it, the 262 is a DOG. It's one of the worst planes to fly in this game.


This isn't for or against the Meteor. Just saying if we get any other jet, the 262 is no longer worthy of a 200+ perk price.

I read that the first Meteors were slower and inferior to the 262 in most ways.

Yes, but the first meteors saw no action [EDIT: against piloted aircraft], were confined to the UK. The Mk.IIIs would be the only candidate that meets the criteria for aircraft in Aces High. It was improved over the Mk.I

Hello Gian! Long time no see eh :)

You surely know of my undying love for Italian planes and so do my Finnish friends over here. At first I did have in mind to propose the G.50 as a choice for a new plane (as if I had anything to say in this). Not only because it was the other extremely successful "underdog" used in FAF, but because it served in many fronts by many nations and it could also, with minimal tweaking be modified as C.200 another magnificent example of Italian aircraft design.

But, I do hope you understand the Finnish mentality towards the Brewster. This plane is considered to be almost something of a -Finnish fighter-. Designed in the thirties to meet US Navy requirements, failed miserably in every feature (including battle) and sold basicly as a scrap metal to Finland where it would rise from the ashes like a phoenix.

The Brewster is a plane that distinguishes the WWII Finnish Air Force from others. Like US had their P51, British their Spitfire, Germans their Messerschmitt, Italians their Folgore, Japanese their Zero and Russians their lots of planes, we Finnish had our Brewster. It's something that everyone rejected as an outcast but we took it in and made it one of our own. And even though the plane as a type might not have made a major impact in the scale of the WWII, it made a huge impact in the survival and independence of this small country.

I will gladly take what is given, but I think that when you consider the imagery of national WWII aviation monuments this game already holds, there really is no other plane that would fill a larger gap than the Brewster.

BR,
KAntti


Hi KAntti!!!!

Yes, it's a long time we don't meet, too long! I know about your love for italian planes and I know you and all the Finns aren't going to change your minds ;) I was just poking some fun back at Wmaker! It'll be a struggle between us till HTC will say what plane has won... but I'll remain friend of Finns pilot, no doubt! ;)

Willfly, you need an avatar, I see... what about mine? ;)

Zuum.... the Finns Brewster never flew against Zeroes... and as for the american ones... well, we all know how it ended... :D
