Le Switchero?
« on: November 30, 2009, 08:47:35 PM »
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? Yeah, did not think so, therefore, I propose that we swap out the C.202 for the Romanian IAR-80. The IAR.81C was a Romanian fighter developed from 1943-1944, and spawned some of Romania's highest aces (some scoring into the 50's and 60's). The fighter was relatively light; only about 4,900 lbs, and carried 6 x 7.7mms, each housing 500 rounds.  A show stopper? No, but neither is the Spit 5, yet people still enjoy it. IN addition to this, it could reach speeds of 342 mph, and was quite maneuverable and turned out to be a stable dogfighting platform. just a thought.

Yeah, why switch it? Can't we just keep the C. 202 and get the IAR-80 and 81C? Do you hate the Italians that much as to deprive them of one of their only home built birds in Aces High? Think about poor Gianlupo!

I don't fly the C202 and to be honest don't really like it, but it's good for FSOs and special events of that type. Therefor there is no point of removing it or any other plane.
But either way +1 on the IAR-80

Why would we take out the 202? Because some people can't fly it. I know lots of people who fly it more than 2 times a month with success. I agree to the plane but trying to get it in by taking the 202 out makes no sense. If we could do that why not take the B5N out? and put in one of the KI's we dont have? huh does that sound better? No way! Add the plane. Keep the plane.

You take my 202 away I might just have to hunt you down via your IP address and murderize you!



 :furious :furious :furious



P.S. If ya don't like the 202, you're definitely not going to like the Iar! Rather similar, the two.

I'd love to see the 2 × 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon and 4 × 7.92 mm FN machine gun - armed IAR.81C.  Didn't the 80 only have 4 mg's for armament?  .30 cals I believe...


*edit*  oooh, now this is a nice plane to add for MA action:  Two 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns in upper cowling (350rpg); one 20 mm MG 151 cannon firing through propeller hub (150rpg); two 20 mm MG 151 cannon in wings (200rpg)





 Reggiane Re.2005 Sagittario.  Considered by many to be "the most beautiful plane of the Second World War"....  Although I do like the G.55 as well.  Interesting that Germany wouldn't allow the Italians to put the G.56 into production; too much better than the Nazi aircraft?

Nope.  Add what you like, but don't take my C.202.  I do run a few sorties each tour when the mood strikes me.  She is a fun bird! :aok
