Bi-planes for Early War Arena
« on: May 22, 2011, 08:52:28 AM »
Since the WW1 arena has lost all steam,  a logical addition to the EW planeset could be the countries that still had some post WW1 bi-planes still in operation at the outbreak of hostilities.

The Polish Pz 11 (or P11) would be a perfect fit.  They were the only thing really to give the German bombers at fits.

The Soviet I-15 *should* be one of the easier ones to add.   ;)

We'll need Gloster Gladiators for the CR-42s to shoot at.
