No Japanese aircraft?
« on: December 30, 2008, 01:13:00 AM »
The allied side has the La5 and F4U, in addition to the P-51B, P-38J, P-47D-11, Spitfire VIII and others.  So why does the axis side not have at least one Japanese aircraft?  How about the K-61?

logged on last night for the first time in a while

looked to me that the axis had the best plane set as it is

had a couple of good fights and one very fun one - low and slow that everyone else stayed out of

This is the same map that was used in the first war scenario. It had the A6M on it then. The F4U1A is on it's not really considered a Euro fighter.

the current map ( one with the channel in the middle) should have at least a a6m2.

I asked soda the other night for the Ki's, but someone who never flies in the arena objected saying the allies had "nothing to counter it"...  I didn't want to ague with someone I knew would leave anyway, so I didn't press the issue.

I agree though, the Ki's would be a hoot in this setup if we could get em.

The Allies have the 1A Corsair, and I think I saw Spit9s. If you're talking the KI-61 the P-47D11 is a good matchup, the Ki-84s acceleration kind of handicaps the P-47 IMO. The Corsair fights well against both the Ki-61 and Ki-84. The Spit9 pilots shouldn't complain over either of the Japanese Army fighters being included.

D-11s, 38Js, F6Fs were allused in the ETO. Now as far as F4U I'm not sure, we should have had one japanese plane at least

I can see that the Ki-84 might dominate, but the Ki-61 should fit right into the current planeset nicely.

No I think a Ki-84 would be just perfect actually. Ki-61s wouldn't be used I don't think...they're real underpowered compared to the 109s

Ki-61 is handy for the extra cannon, however I miss the slats in turns.  Ki-84 would be nice, i don't' think it would dominate though.  It could  out accelerate everything I suppose.

Wouldn't hurt to just add the Ki-61 and see what happens.
