From what I gather the Brewster we're getting is an American made, stripped down low production Swedish version that somehow ended up under Nazi control.

Oscar?
You realize that the crowd that would fly the Oscar would be largely the same as, except for smaller than those that will fly the Buffalo?
Not to say the the Oscar doesn't sound sweet.

The Oscar wouldn't be anymore of a hanger queen than the Zero, since the Oscar is basically the IJAAF version of the Zeke.

I would agree, except for the significant armament difference, unless they modeled the version with 20mm cannons.
Even then usually the Zero you see is the 1944 A6M5b.

He-111 is required for a BoB scenario...

Also, an update of the 110s would be great - IIRC the 110C we have now is a very rare version, i may be mistaken though.

You really should go back to school and get more history lessons. Please, check facts before you start insulting people.

Really didn't think I was insulting anyone... But I'll give it a shot.

Why did the Swedes think it was a good idea to fight for the allies but put a Swastika on a plane we gave them to build?  Blond moment maybe?

Should have got a few with that one. :rofl


sorry, could'nt help myself  heheh.  Not here to insult anyone  :angel:

1) Brewsters were not Swedish planes. They were Finnish Airforce planes assembled in Sweden before they were flown to Finland.
2) Sweden did not fight for Allies or for anyone. They were neutral.
3) USA did not give Brewsters, they sold them.

Finns and Swedes were not nazis. FAF swastika is not a nazi symbol.

Don't embarrass yourself any further ;)

1) Brewsters were not Swedish planes THEY WERE AMERICAN. They BECAME Finnish Airforce planes assembled in Sweden before they were flown to Finland.
2) Sweden did not fight for Allies or for anyone. They were neutral. AND WERE ONLY PLAYING A JOKE ON THE FINNS
3) USA did not give Brewsters, they sold them.WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF ADDING SWASTKAS TO IT I IMAGINE

Finns and Swedes were not nazis. FAF swastika is not a nazi symbol. AND THE CROSS DOES NOT REPRESENT CHRISTIANITY SINCE IT WAS USED IN OTHER CULTURES PRIOR TO JESUS

Don't embarrass yourself any further ;)  NO ROOM FOR EMBARRASSMENT AS THE LAUGHTER HAS TAKEN OVER.


I'm taking the history of this thread as about as serious as I want to. No matter how confusing, the Brewster is in the AH plane set and part of the fun about it is trying to figure out why it's here and which side it will fly for in FSO

The United States would have expected the FAF to change the roundel that they had been using for 22 years why?
