I enjoyed your reply. After reading it I'm suprised you missed the Unit791's signature though. 
Back on track..... I'm all for the addition of all Jap fighters from WWII that were operational. Many badly needed airframes in the Japanese list.
Miss a quote from Steel Joe? No. Indeed, that's part of why I launched my screed. I smelled grievance-peddlin' redistributionist. Which is not to say Unit isn't a fine gent. Opinions are typically only as good as information.
His mind may have been poisoned by means of an alien anal probe or some other "third way" Trojan horse.
As for the Jap fighters, Sakae flew the Raiden late in the war, at least according to his autobio. I'm all in favor of it's addition.
At the same time, how can anyone actually be AGAINST the addition of any period aircraft? Hell, I'd like to see a '46 Arena where all the coulda' shoulda' woulda a/c could play. Meteor versus Horten 229...why not?
I'd really love to see some more of the Italian stuff (G.55, etc) added. More significantly, though, why no Yak-3? It was widely feared/respected by the LW.
