I would say that the problem goes just as much, if not doubly so, for Soviet aviation, minus the popularity of the La7 and Il2 for obvious reasons.

Soviet aviation is the most "dissed" big player in the game. I know, I know "skin the Lend Lease". :huh Boy is that getting old.

I think a major factor is deciding to model an airframe, not that anyone cares what I think, is that players should actually want to fly it. But also Modeling based on player votes alone is a mistake. Didnt WW1 teach them anything?

Nor I, and I am almost always Yank, Brit, Soviet. But going a raiding in KI-67s is Soooooo fun. I love seeing 262s run away in fear. :lol

The zeros are one of my favorite rides.  On a side note you would be amazed (or maybe not) at how many pilots think its a good idea to flat turn with one.

Back when the F6F was first announced there was a bit of clamor on the forums about how it was going to be the Zero killer and such, posts about its historical K/D ratio against the A6M.  I said at that time that people shouldn't expect that here and that it might well not even have a one to one K/D ratio against the Zero.  In the actual event, it took the F6F many, many tours before the F6F was able to break even with the A6M5b.  Why?  Because people knew it was "the Zero killer" and would turn with the Zero, and die.

While I agree with this sentiment, it would be nice to see lend lease skins for the P40s.

Don't get me wrong, certain F6F drivers, such as Mathman, absolutely dominated the A6M5b from the get go, but overall the F6F did poorly against the A6M5b despite their efforts because too many people just tried to turn fight it.

I'm sorry but I don't carry much for the Japapanese airpranes either. For one they bombed Pearl Harbor, so I don't care. Sounds wierd but I hate them.

I wonder what will happen when we run out of 1945 planes and tanks?  


Dude.  You are not paying attention.

We go to 1946.  Maybe 1947.

Maybe 1950.

Ah, one of those dinosaur historians you are!  Fewer and fewer of us left, I fear.

Watching the polls over the past few years, it seems to have come to this:  Unless the plane can compete with the 1945 plane set (P-51H, Do-335, Meteor, that sort of thing) or be successfully used in a manner it wasn't designed for (P-61, Me-410, A-26), the majority of AH players do not want it because, almost by definition, it will be overwhelmed by the 1945 planes.  We already have the best of the 1945 Japanese plane set....so why ask for more?

I see the Mosca made it. Mwahahahaha .... my evil plan is slow to fruition but it is making progress. Next the SM-79:
