Brewster

[Grendel]

Still waiting for the answer to my question:  is the Brewster we have in game a field modified plane?

No. The B-239s were removed some equipment before the sale. The planes were modified in Finland to suit the operational needs. Including changes in armanent, radios, gunsight, armour, pilot survival kit, pilot's skis and so on. The modifications were done by State Aircraft Factory.

But hey Happy New Year, my resolution is to try and have the Brewster fixed a little

Unless you can come up with some solid and reputable data that Pyro doesn't already have ... don't count on it.

Hence the calling of "bs".

Hence, you take everything too seriously.


The zeke can and will out-turn the brewster easily. Both versions will, but especially the A6M2.

Both Hurricane and zeros stall speeds are below that of the Brewster  .

This.

A6M2 can out do it. A6M5B comes close with it unless flown by a skilled pilot

A6M5B comes close with it unless flown by a skilled pilot

So you're saying the two of them are equal?

no. just very close maneuveringwise. one has more vert advantage one has more horizontal. A6M's flaps over the top counters the 239 well though

Funny because the war time brewster pilots regarded the hurricane as an extremely clumsy plane that should immediately be engaged in a turn fight while in brewster. In fact the hurricane in AH2 is modeled wrong because in real world it was a flying molotov coctail, the unprotected fuel tank was between the pilots legs, one bullet there and the pilot burned alive. Same thing for spitfire (minus the burning) under the altitude of 4km above which spitfire became superior. Also bw was regarded as a very easy and stable to fly. Engine did not shut off in a negative G since it was not carburetor equipped. In fact it's the same engine used in B17 and SBD.

You have your facts all wrong.

youre talking about early war hurris and spits right? if so then i can knock them down easily with a well placed shot anyways (with any weapon) whether early or late war models

Not even close. I find that within 3-4 turns, I'm on a brew's six. Albeit slower than trying to land on the six of a 190

so like i said. they are close if youre in a zero and it takes 3-4 turns (and i doubt that its prob more) of a lufberry to get on an enemy's six, its close in maneuvering... Hence the pilot's skill takes more part in the fight than the plane's abilities against its foe...

And by the way, you use flaps in the zekes right? please say you do....

[fbWldcat]

I never use my flaps in a zeke! They are just an abstract, anyway.

Use em

Fast Edit: Well use em correctly. You can make the zeke pull some wild stuff with those flaps down.

Another New Years resolution broken before it could start.

I already can.

[321BAR]

I already can.

bahhh but honestly. try it sometime youll learn to love using jap flaps at the right times.
