I often duel people in c202s, it's an awesome plane for testing who flies better rather that just who shoots first.

I propose an idea. Let's be honest here, how many of you actually enjoy the C.202, or fly it more than twice a month with real success?
I love the C.202, and it's a great dueling plane (as mechanic noted)

Yeah, did not think so, therefore, I propose that we swap out the C.202 for the Romanian IAR-80.
Why?

The 202 is a great plane. Underestimated by many...understood by few. Keep her.

The 202 is one of my favorites, but not because it's "great" or anything....

It's out-flown by almost all planes in the LWAs, and only has a small speed advantage against planes from its time frame (yet they out turn it in most cases).

However, it's one of those planes that has a bit of an aura, or a mystique, about it. Sort of like the P-40E, and the Hurricane1. Fun for a challenging sortie now and then.

The Reggiane Re.2005 Sagittario.  Was a good flying aircraft, but it was a mechanics nightmare.  The engine was relaible but, the Prop like the Bf 109 was unreliable.  It was first flown with a Daimler Benz DB 605 that was later produced under license by Fiat.  But only 48 were delivered before the armistice was signed.  There is documentation that a few of the last planes did fight in the final days over Berlin.

Instead of the 202, let's get rid of the P-51D and Spit XVI.  :aok

Lol, amen to that.  Sorry about this, once more my friend has managed to find my password  :furious and puts the stupidest things on the wishlist and keeps sending SPAM to my friends.  I honestly do not favor the C.202, or like it, but what be the point of removing it?  If HTC thought it unnecessary, then why add it in the first place?  As for the IAR.81C, I'd love to see it added.  Again, my apologies, my password's been changed to something he will NEVER get  :neener:

Your friend seems to have a very indepth knowledge of the game and it's features. Is that the best you can come up with?

Seriously?  :huh

He plays the game whenever he's over my house, so yeah he kinda does have a general idea of the game.  "Identical use of punctuation and capitalisation"? Capitalisation and punctuation are universal.

well, if you're sure I'll take your word for it. I dont even know whats to be ashamed of, this wish was far more constructive and worthwhile than most :)

Tell your friend he has excelent taste and I agree with him, the IAR80 should be added.
