maybe the b-24 too.

Tell me, do you EVER fly in the Main Arena? Caus I see B24's a lot when I fly, and get shot down by them even more. I certainly wouldnt say that its an uncommon aircraft in the MA.
Concerning the OP, I think that the only aircraft I havent seen in the MA is the P39. (Maybe im not looking hard enough) but I see the Boston quite regularly and the spit 1 is also sighted quite regularly on my end.

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

Actually, defenders is exactly what the easy-mode aircraft are.  The main arena is a lousy simulation of WW2 combat.  No one wants to play hit and run forever, and so people start furballing, which is defensive fighting.  It's no wonder that low-wingloading aircraft excel in the arena, but were not nearly as effective in actual war conditions.

YAKNOW.....

you're right. i hadn't reaqlly thought about it like that untill i reread your post a couple times.

i got one the Me-163 maybe the b-24 too.

If you actually play the game and climb above 2K you will see a LOT of B24's. actually I think its the most used bomber in the game. Maybe SnaiLusche will tell us ?

When I fly bomber intercept missions the 2 that I encounter above all others are the b-24 and the Lanc. Especially if I'm up defending a cv. Conversely, when I go after a cv it's either in 17s or 26s.

my old squadron flew patrols daily over enemy HQs and  deep in enemy lines but we nvr see b-24s. Only twice i have seen 24s upping and we creamed'em but my point is that the ME-163 as not many Mins. of fuel and its very fast, too fast to fight a 190. Only once i'v seen a 163 and its was low and fast and was ditching. Thats all.

I take it you're not familiar with that little thing on you joystick called the throttle?

The B24 is probably the most used bomber in the game save for the Lancaster.

Tell me about it. If you know what you're doing to can fly it for 15-20mins and out turn almost anything in the game.
