Looks great Daddog!

Just a suggestion for the land based Japanese. Maybe adding the A6M2 for a KI-43 type sub. Again, just a suggestion. Thanks for coming up with the scenario.

I thought about the A6M2, but I did not think many would use it.

If some of you think you would, I will add it.

After looking closer I see you have the A6M5 land based as well. I didn't notice this before, I thought the only land based Japanese fighter you had was the Ki-61. You're probably correct, nobody would fly the A6M2, if the a6M5 was available.

I'm sorry, that is NOT the correct answer!

OM always flys the crapest planes in a setup. I think he does it so he can have an excuse for sucking so badly.

J/K OM I love shooting down your Hurri1s and 202s:p

38G? Check
40E? Check

Ki61? Check

I'll be a happy camper next week.

38G is all I need

Only thing I could hope for in that set up is a F6F off the CV.
Whatever I end up flying, I'll be the one cruising around at 3K.

Actually I'm not real sure if any F4U1s were operating off CV's in 1943. Maybe VF-17. If we had the F6F-3, it and the F4F would be the CV birds, and the F4Us from land bases. Then again it's easy to get overly anal about any setup. this one pretty sweet the way it is.

If you allow Soulyss to fly 38s, I'm not showing up..

Well unless I'm flying Allied and he's protecting my scrawny arse.

lol, wish I could have stuck around longer last night. Was a good brawl we all had going on there. As for next week my personal preference/opinion is that the F6F provides a more interesting match up than the F4U does, as it is closer in performance I think. (N1K vs. F6F is one of the best in the game I think). That being said this looks like a pretty solid setup, I expect some good fights, and I expect to get slaughtered if/when I get bounced @ 3k by high zekes.
