To quote a fine post on a related thread (mine :-)
This whole concept is based on "if it did not fly in combat (as I define combat) before the end of WWII, it does not belong in this game".
If you use the "must have historicaly flown combat", will you also live with the historic use ratio of types?
Out of all fighter action in late 1945, what was the % of Ta 152 flights? That would give, say 10 flights a year total for a Ta 152 to be split between all players in AH?
Over Germany, what % of flights were in the latest new and improved models in historic use? I hope you like flying a well used Bf109G or FW190.
How about living with the historic fuel and spare parts supply?
Once we leave history behind in ANY way, then the question of "game balance" is the most important issue.
Part of this is the FACT the the Allies held back on rushing new types to the front, as there was NO NEED to do so in real history.
Allowing the use of an aircraft that had less affect on the war than bad luck in the landing pattern did is BALANCED by allowing
the use of mass produced aircraft that had been held back for historic reasons.
It's a games theory thing. That's why the U.S. does not have the A-Bomb as a standard load-out. Same reason the B-29 is not a mid '44 standard bird in the game. Or the B-36
as a mid '45 pick.
I would like to see early war birds, but if the "what if" stuff is allowed, it should work for all sides.
