JUGgler,

We already have the Whirbelwind in AH.

If you mean the Whirlwind, it did serve longer than the P-47M and F4U-1C due to the war ending.  It  served longer than the Spitfire Mk XVI (and it is truly the mark of a low mind to stoop to insulting history) only if you don't account for the fact that something like ten times as many Spitfire Mk XVI's were built and used.  In terms of total combat hours the Spitfire Mk XVI will have far more than the Whirlwind.

The F7F I think was delivered in squadron strength to the USMC in the Pacific and the F8F was loaded aboard carriers a stones throw away from begining combat operations at the war's end... would be great additions to the late war arena...

na, maybe if they were heavily perked, the bearcat would make a spit 16 look like an old out dated POS.  It climbs 2k feet per min better than a  k4!!!, turns with mondo flaps like a f4u and is faster than both. I'm guessing it accelerated better too given the power-to-weight requirements to achieve a climb rate of over 6K per min! (Other sources peg it at 4.6k per min.. so hmmm)

Yes the Westland Whirlwind is what I meant to say, must be my age

Westland Whirlwind, served in squadron strength, served longer "IN COMBAT" than the chog and MJug combined  

I believe it hade longer active WW2 service than the twit16 and tempest also

I don't think "squadron" size or "active" WW2 service is all that important to the requirements, if so then there are tons of vehicles that should have been here way before the likes of say the Chog    IMHO

Like I said, perfect for the main arenas!  And you didn't even look up the F7F - think of the offspring from an orgy of P-38s, A-20s, and F6Fs.

ahh lol

i think the defenition of seeing combat means seeing combat against the enemy or in a combat zone, it dosnt have to mean seeing combat against other aircraft to mean seeing combat. the meteor qualifies as seing combat as it was used against the enemy in a combat zone. ground attack or dogfighting or just being in a zone of conflict or combat counts as seeing combat.

an example. my grandfather served in vietnan as a aviation mechanic, he worked on the F4 Phantom, and was never in a firefight against viet-cong or NVA troops, but still was awarded the combat action ribbon. i know its not a good example.

"Twit16"

The fighter contributed to the defeat of Nazi Germany and, by virtue of being a good, easy to use fighter, saved Allied lives.  Using derogatory names for it is not, in my opinion, appropriate.

Names like "Runstang" are in the same boat.
