Please update your side prefs this week. Thx.

Gee... really? F4u1s, P38Gs, P47D11s and B-25s against mostly A6M2s and a few A6M5s and a few Ki61s thrown in?


Look, I know sometimes you all strive for historical accuracy... but the gameplay balance is wholly lacking in this planeset.


Just an unsollicited opinion... 


EDIT: P.S. To confirm the designer's notes (Warloc) you are correct that the Ki-61 would not be a fighter bomber. They never carried any bombs. They had an air bursting phosphorous bomb meant to be used against bombers, but were never ground attackers.

[Stampf]

Worst one yet.

Unreal.

[USRanger]

Can JG11 have the Ki-98 added please?

[Krusty]

Sure... *








(* = just, get HTC to add it inside of 2 weeks before frame 1...)

[USRanger]

Heeheehee

Sweet looking ride. Something from IL2:1946 I take?

The P-47 was a late addition to the design representing Col. Kearbys unit and some other issues like ord restrictions, mission issues, and some of the min-max #s are also still being discussed and altered. It will be as balanced a setup in the final version as any other design we have done. If you want to provide some constructive feedback thats never an issue with me. Feel free.

Looks like I'll be doing lots of snowmobiling Friday nights.

Only good thing is, in the scoring Axis has a small advantage.But hey, can we really, truly be surprised Axis? We should be used to it by now. We knew going in in every scenario or campaign that we have the disadvantage.

You know I don't know if its because I have flown axis for a year now but I was amped just to see the ki-61 in a pacific scenario set before 1945.

Glad to be headed back to the Pacific. It was cold on the Russian front

  Are you freaking kidding us. Is your memory so short that you can't remember the last 3 weeks. Where the Axis clearly had the advantage in most of the aircraft.

One FSO.

Are you volunteering to fly the A6M2 against the P-38G, the F4u1, and the P-47D11?

Because that's what it just sounded like to me...

Bull hockey, your comment as well as the one above make a blanket statement that these events are not competitive for the axis. The truth is that the axis planeset, particularly the European events are as equal if not superior at times to the allied plane set.  It is the Pacific events where there is some validity to the above complaints, mainly when the Am6-2 is involved.
