OK, seems we have different viewpoints here, Verm.
What I want to point out is that, at this stage, AH is just like WB main arena:
109s escorting B-17s, while being attacked by La-5 or Niki, P-51 used as field defense fighters, JGs fighting other JGs, gang bangs consisting of all types available in AH etc etc. Now add in some more Pacific planes and we got Quake style matchups (yes, it seems so, IMHO).
I am really not interested in how 109 fares against Niki or 190. Just like P-51 vs F4U would remind me of what if Superman vs Hulk match.
But I am surely interested in 190/P-51 or 109/Spit matchups.
And why Dora ? Somehow I don't believe that we need F4U to fight P-51D. Dora is Mustangs's historical opponent. I am not asking it for myself (I fly 109), but because I think it is a better match for P-51D than a8 is (which will be slaughtered by P-51D, IMHO).
That's why I have doubts about Ta 152H. I like that plane. But I am against of bringing it in AH, because it would never be used historically. But if you all like this non-historical thing we have now, then scrap my Dora vote - I want me a Ta 152.
And Nath BDP, so you say that you will fly Tempest or Spit XIV against the Dora ? And all this as an JG member ?

Yes, you got it. I can't wait until I see AH historical arena. No more Rook/Bishop/Knight icons, just plane type and distance.
