The Aircraft for Finland
« on: July 26, 2010, 06:16:43 PM »
I know there is only one aircraft registered for Finland called the "B-239 Brewster" can you add more to Finland airplanes, like these airplanes that actually originated from Finland (with links) here:I know that all of there airplanes are not in Aces High, which means I've done my research.

The Brewster variant that's in the game (B239) never saw operational use with the US Navy. The only country that operated them was Finland. The country where the aircraft was manufactured is therefore irrelevant when it comes to the planeset's country listings. For example, Boston III is US built bomber but it is found from the RAF inventory in the planeset listing as that particular variant was operated by the RAF. The only aircraft from your list that would in anyway fit into Aces High is VL Myrsky which only saw couple brief moments of combat during the summer of '44 where as Brewsters flew operational sorties with the Finnish Air Force from June '41 until January '45.

Btw, your links aren't working.

I know there is only one aircraft registered for Finland called the "B-239 Brewster" can you remove that plane from Finland and put it with the United States airplanes. Then replace the "B-239 Brewster" with these airplanes that actually originated from Finland

Why?

The Links are now fixed, and the Topic: "The Aircraft for Finland" has been redone so it's not asking to move the Airplane called "B-239 Brewster" to be moved the United States airplanes.

A lot of Biplanes.  Always welcome diversity of ACs on AH (both counties and type).

The other point I was trying to make was that, except for Myrsky and Humu, none of the planes you listed are really combat aircraft. As I said, Myrsky saw combat only briefly and only one prototype of Humu was built. Finland didn't really have domestically designed combat aircraft. The next combat aircraft used by the Finns that makes sense is Curtiss Hawk75A when P-40s are updated and even that should really be added as the first French aircraft for which Finnish Air Force skins could be added.

Fokker D.XXI would be a more useful addition; Dutch-designed and licence-built by the Finns (as was the British Bristol Blenheim Mk.I and IV light bomber, hint, hint   ;)  ).

Or I suggest a Finn skin for the Messy Schmitt Bf109 G that succeeded the Bustling Walter as the main combat fighter, no new aircraft type modelling necessary for that one.

There are couple quite nice FiAF skins already done by Kanttori for the 109Gs. :)

I see no reason why Finland shouldn't have a plane.
Look how well the Italians did and they have 2!
