Aircraft for Special Events

[Karnak]

PTO:
Nakajima Ki-43 "Oscar"
Misubishi A5M "Claude"
Misubishi G4M "Betty"

I am unaware of any significant service of the A5M in the Pacific Theater.  It did see action in China, but it was rapidly phased out after 1941.

A much better list for the Pacific Theater would replace the A5M with any of these:  Ki-44, Ki-45, D4Y, B6N.

Russian Front:
Mikoyan Migg-3

Thanks!   

I was just about to request the mig when I came across this thread! Awesome!

I'm astonished that any self-respecting WW2 combat flight sim can be without a Nakajima Ki-43 'Oscar', the most-produced Imperial Japanese Army Air Force fighter of the war - but there's been no Hayabusa of any mark seen in AH so far.

Nope they definitely went higher than that.

Yes, they could but they didn't do from the Solomons after the first few missions...do the research...under 20 thousand feet was the operational altitude due to what was perceived to be excessive losses from Japanese anti-aircraft fire.

I've read that A5Ms were flown from the Shoho during the Battle of the Coral Sea.  Although granted, by that time the A5M was obsolete.

I believe the first Japanese aircraft shot down by a carrier based F4F was in fact an A5M off the Marshall Islands. I could be mistaken though. I'd love to see it in the sim at some point but would rather see the Ki-44 as Karnak suggested first.
