So what if it was still in testing phase? It was a machine just like other machines in wartime that were put in the hands of soldiers to the task of fighting the war. It wasn't "in testing phase" any more than the Ducati Desmosedici GP13 is "in testing phase" and thus doesn't deserve to score points on the championship. Taking a country like Germany in 'late 44 - '45 and saying they put a plane like the 152H into combat before going thru conventional development stages, and quoting cherry picked production/fielding numbers is just disingenuous.
Again with the obsession with 16 planes figure. Read more carefully? Articulate yourself more carefully. I'm done with this one.
So what? Comparing a WWII plane with a Riceracer
Show me more than 16 in combat. Whats your obsession 24? 59? They were all flying? Get real!
I don't need to read more carefully Moot.... whats to articulate?
They were all still in testing when forced into service <shrug> The small amount of the H1's weren't even test flown just rolled out on the tarmac and picked up by there pilots or rolled on the tarmac and blown up by the Eighth Airforce or themselves in a few cases.
Taking a country like Germany? Your kidding right? How bout we take ALL the countries that were affected by Germany in the beginning of the war and give them some credit?. You seem to only favor Germany, poor Germany beat down so bad the couldn't flesh out the Ta-152, in this respect again <shrug>.
Disingenuous?
...Pe-2 11,000 made.... And your jump-in up and down like a cheerleader because there were only 16 Ta's to make it into combat? That's disingenuous
Common you are the champion of the 152... at least try to stick up for it.... the problem is you can't... it's all ready in Black and White..Posted.. that's why I'm on your ignore list. You don't like what is being said/shown ...Or some how you want to involve/intertwine the <BIG> philosophy of the war engine as to the reason the 16 planes should be in the game. Not all of them H1's mind you. If we say just the H1's in combat we can get down to about 5-8 planes
Some how a plane that never flew a mission it was designed for, save the 1st mission of III/Jg301 <12 Ta152> where they never made it to altitude as they were repelled by their own 109's, made it in the game as a high altitude interceptor.
Game mechanics or not it sets the bar for us to have very low numbered production planes in the game.
I can't believe Krusty isn't in here screaming at the top of his lungs about this plane and it's insignificance and how unjust it is that this sucker is in the game.
Tell us more about the BIG picture,
