Um... maybe it is you that should do the reading.

Finland was allied with Germany until 1944.  Hence the fact that there are 109's with Finnish livery in the game.  It wasn't until the Finns threw the Germans out in 1944 that they started fighting them.  Therefore, Finland fought on both the Axis and the Allied side in WW2.
I'm not an expert on the subject, however I don't think Finland was ever allied with Germany, merely co-belligerents, along with; Bulgaria, China, Croatia, Denmark, Hungary, Manchukuo, Romania, Slovakia and Spain.

It isn't this "cut and dry".   Before telling others "to do the reading", just make sure you know the intangibles.   Because your response tells myself and others, you don't.

Laugh out loud, thanks. Another question, does the Buffalo turn well? I hope so.
Turning well is relative, but if IL-2 is any indication, it will turn similar to a 109F with full flaps. In other words, it will be able to yank and bank to some extent, yes. But who cares about the turn rate. Turn rate is an excuse for not using ACM and handing the other pilot his bootay on a bullet-based platter.

The finnish pilots quoted that the hurricane was a very stiff and unmanouverable plane compared to BW and it should be engaged in turnfight immediately.

That should give some idea about the manouverability.

Looks like a fun little ride, I'll likely be picking it as a second ride beside my A6M.

Sound like a "co-belligerent"?

Get a job with an AH paycheck and then tell me what to write. So far 1/2 of whats here doesnt belong here.

Tellya what..here. Feel better? Maybe "General Discussion" doesnt translate to well.

There were just some minor details I would have liked to comment... but now I cannot remember what they were.[/edit]

With the brewster the Fm-2 may become a small perk ride for mid & late arenas considering we also have the f4f.


Either way im very stoked to get more early war fighters.


PLEASE HTC, stuff us full of early war birds! :salute

I don't need AH paycheck to tell my opinion. Obviously I'm not a moderator here, nor am I backseat moderating IMO. But considering this thread is about a new aircraft for Aces High it would be pretty silly to get it locked with totally off topic material.
