S! all

Here is a view of what the terrain guys are working on:

Hopefully at some point it will go into the CT with appropriate planes etc.

512x512? 256x256?

I thought you guys were looking for smaller map sizes.

Looks nice thou

Any idea on a time for that map to show up in the CT Buzz?

I would really like to fly against both Axis and Allies in "The Slot".

S!

No idea when it might show. We really don`t have any of the planes needed for a Guadalcanal setup.

We`d need:

P-39
P-40
Wildcat
Dauntlas
B-25

A6M2
Val or Judy
Betty

The later stages of the campaign for the area when Rabual was the target are somewhat doable with the existing planeset.

F4U-1
P-47D11
TBM
B-26
B17
Spit V

KI-61
A6M5
Ki67 (when it arrives)

Early Pacific is a barren place right now for aircraft choice.

I just put it up so people could get a sniff of what may be a possibility in the distant future.

The Ki 67 was first flow in combat by the Army's 7th and 98th sentais and the Navy's 762nd kokutai in torpedo attack's during the air sea battle off Formosa in October 1944. The Ki 67 also operated in China and aganst the Marianas, and in defence of the Homeland.
I realise we will probably never get a Betty bomber, which would be approparate for the perioud,so the ki 67 is the only likely substute for a japanese bomber, but i wounder would u substute an A 26 for a B 26 or B25 if we did not have one? for a simmilar time perioud? The reasion I mention this is that in this time perioud you would be introducing and aircraft with late war speed and defensive aramement.

I have various sources for this info.

one of which is:

Japanese Aircraft of the Pacific War by Rene J. francillon.

That map looks like it would be great fun

Hopefully we will get some more Japanese aircraft in the future

S! Brady

You are absolutely right.

And the only reason it would be used is because it is a Japanese twin engined bomber.

Same reason we keep on using the B26 for every plane under the sun...

That's the reality of ACES HIGH right now.

Buzzbait, One of the reasions I am so happy to see all the great work you all are doing with the Ct and the events is that it may provide some encentave for HTC to do more aircraft to enhance the ballence of these events by adding more aircraft from the less privaleged(or modeled) countries, I can't tell you how happy I am to see the ki 67 comming, a plane I hoped would be added for the Japanese for quiet some time, I am equaly pleased to be able to use it in the upcoming events, even considering that some conceshions must be made for the sake of gameplay.

mmm, Spit V goodness....

And the map is really nice!

Tho kinda big for the CT don't ya think? Well, not if you concentrate on one or two islands I guess.

Hortlund · « **Reply #10 on:** January 10, 2002, 05:10:00 PM »

With a map like that, and with that planeset the CT will be overcrowded...at least thats what I think.

S!

There are rumours that 1.10 will introduce a heavily `early` Pacific Planeset...

But those are just rumours...

Vladd · « **Reply #12 on:** January 12, 2002, 05:10:01 AM »

Making 1.10 a 'Pacific Pack' would do nicely

Personally, I had enough of the Pacific early war in WBs. I'm much more interested in a late-war Pac planeset. Plus, they late-war Japanese planes would be competitive in the Main Arena.
