Damn poachers and idiots who make it profitable thinking that ground up rhino horn (basically the same stuff as fingernails) will make little willy harder and last longer.

Died? Do you mean extinct? One year survey is not a final result to deteriming if they are extinct. Technically, it takes up to five years of survey to finalize thier statues.

Since I started playing about 4 months ago, I've only flown American planes with exception to the jet planes and only been with the Bish in the MA. If I fly an allied plane, i.e Spit 9, it has to have the USA insignia.  My squaddies say that I'm missing out on planes that may better suit my style. My rebuttal is, "who won the war again?". I know there are tons of benefits from flying the axis planes, u can find out the strengths and weaknesses firsthand.

Is there any others like me? I truly doubt it.

First off Ack-Ack was on your side of the argument and secondly...its your $15 a month you fly whatever the heck you want to whenever you want to and tell the rest of the "crowd" to blast off!

Chipr, be not afraid my friend, the ignoramus is still thriving in society. Your breed is far from extinct.   :rolleyes:

I fly pretty much just Japanese aircraft now. That is mainly because growing up the Japanese air war, other than comments like "the Zeke burned and was a POS and that's why they lost", the plight of the Japanese was largely a mystery to me. Not as much has been written on them, compared to the other countries.


I do get taken back a little by folks who only fly one plane because they heard it won the war.


Through my reading and to some extent playing this game, ive learned that the "paper" stats of an airplane matter the least. And will venture to state that "straight line speed" is the most useless and miss leading stat that is often quoted in regards to flying/fighting in this game.

My rebuttal is, "who won the war again?".

80% or more of the war in Europe was between Germany and the Soviet Union (as measured by number of soldiers, number of tanks, number of aircraft, number of guns, number of casualties, sizes of battles, or terrain involved, or any combination of those).

You should fly the Soviet planes some of the time, then.  ;)

Not true, they just never won a notable battle without a substantial lead in numbers.

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.
