We tried this on a scenario once... In the end we just took up formations of ju88s to survive the onslaught...

Emil is as much dogmeat to a brewster as a brewster is to a 43.

I wish someone would have told our military how awesome the Brewster was back when they phased them out as fast as they could in the early 40s =(

Different model Brewster. that's the 339 we have the 239 the ones bought by the Finns, These models had numerous things removed before being shipped making them lighter and more towards their real potential as fighters.

I'm surprised the B239's biggest cheerleader has not chimed in yet.  No worries though, he'll be along soon enough I'm sure.   ;)

There are issues with weight and engine power when comparing the different Brewsters, especially the wonderBrewster here in AH.  I wish HTC would model a "real" Buffalo for the early war PTO scenarios.  What we have is not representative.

No you don't.  Really, who would ever fly it, or construct a scenario where some poor souls would be assigned to fly it?  Tough enough with Pearl Harbor scenarios to get people to fly early P-40s.
