I know Indian   the F4U and the P-38 are my two favorite US rides.

It was simply a "jab" (jokingly of course) towards the F4U posts.

Westy, JG301 had Ta 152H-1's in combat in 1945.  Don't go snackin' on D-9's lest ye be snacked.

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.

Agree totally on that Hristo. (Ta 152 was a personal interest in order to see how competitive it is with my personal flight style)

hristo: "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"

Yep, lets have it... As well as Force Feedback and smaller font for damn icons since we have to have them.

Thinking about it: the other day I went into (I think) Bishops (by mistake - I swear   )to find that from their point of view we are Reds!!! (shock horror). So, I gather that all countries see friendlies as greens and all enemies (irrespective of country) are painted red.

Why, in this case, do we need rooks/bishops/whoevers icons at all? Callsign/distance in green for your compatriots and plane type/distance for all others. Who cares whether your target is a bishop or some other bizarre horsey thing? We, good honest rooks, will kill them all anyway, right?  

Pyro - please consider dropping country icons altogether and please reduce the icon font - it'll help with clatter in the skies and (hopefully) we will fit in those pretty clouds of yours - otherwise the icon will stick out...

I'm probably posting this in a wrong place... Duh

I like the idea to do planes other sims haven't yet. Considering this in detail, the airplanes remaining are mainly:

Gloster Gladiator
Fiat CR42
Polikarpov I-16
PZL-P11
Boomerang.

I see yet amazing T&B fight between Westland Lysander escorting a Fairey Swordfish Vs. Fieseler Storch! :-)

I vote for the IL-2 and A-26.

For a Japanese fighter, How about a Ki-44? I haven't ever seen that plane modeled, and based upon what I have read, it was a pretty good E-Fighter (Rare, since most Japanese fighters were angles fighters as you guys know). The only thing I would wonder is would it have the automatic maneuvering flaps? I also believe the George had the automatic maneuvering flaps, however, these obviously aren't modeled. I believe they were operated by a `U-Tube' Manometer based on the G's the plane was pulling, but I haven't investigated that feature in awhile.

If you are going to model the more esoteric aircraft (Dornier Arrow, MB5, Tigercat(Too late)) Then I would like to see what was reportedly an excellent twin engine Japanese fighter (Based on U.S. Flight reports here in the states after hostilites ended). That plane is the Ki-83. I have alot of info on that plane. Unfortunately, it is in Japanese, and I can't read Japanese! Would be happy to photocopy it for the HT guys if they would be interested. I believe this booklet was published by the same publishing group which put out Koku-Fan. It is:

Famous Airplanes of the World No. 24 (1990)
(Japanese) Army Experimental Fighters.

Thought I might resurrect this old thread.... It makes good reading, especially  now that 1.06 is out!
