Aircraft for Special Events
« on: April 06, 2010, 01:21:51 PM »
One of the usual rejoinders to requests in this forum runs along the lines of, "it would get no use in the MA..."  I'm much more interested in the Special Events, specifically the Friday Squad Operations (which I often fly) and the big Scenarios (which I cannot fly often enough).  Among the Special Events, I find that I especially enjoy early-war and mid-war plane matchups.  With all that in mind, I request that some of the following planes be considered for inclusion:

Battle Of Britain:
Heinkel He-111 (P or H variant)
Dornier Do-17 Z

North Africa / Mediterranean:
FIAT CR.32 / CR.42
Savoia-Marchetti SM.79
Gloster Gladiator

CBI (Flying Tigers!):
Mitsubishi G3M "Nell"
Nakajima Ki-27 "Nate"

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

Russian Front:
Mikoyan MiG-3
Lavochkin LaGG-3
Petlyakov Pe-2

Thanks!   :salute

Like the idea, but not the special server only part.

I think these aircraft would also be used in the MA, maybe not as often as late war fighters but I see I-16s, Brewsters, zeros, ect.. on daily bases.

No special server requested.  I only referred to the Special Events.  OK by me if these planes are all enabled in the MA, but that's not my primary interest.

I know i'll probably get blasted for this but if this idea was taken to aircraft to be used only for special events (snapshots, FSO, etc) then why not also add the B-29?  I'm not a fan of putting it in the MA but it was a history making aircraft that would make for a pretty cool snapshot.

Sure as long as you want to fly it for the historical 16 hours round trip to Japan and keep it below 20k like they historically did during the massive bombing raids...that would work.

I've always argued for more balanced plane sets for scenarios.

Here we are, living on top of a molten ball of rock, spinning around at a 1,000mph, orbiting a nuclear fireball and whizzing through space at half-a-million miles per hour. Most of us believe in super-beings which for some reason need to be praised for setting this up. This, apparently, is normal.

Nope they definitely went higher than that.
