Well I guess next time the Battle of Britain is upon us,
I'm looking forward especially to my 109F1 substitute; the handy 109G6
It amounts to the same thing. :D

No.  The comparable argument in Battle of Britain isn't 109f vs. 109g, because we had the 109f and didn't need any substitute.  It was Ju 88 vs. He 111.  You could reproduce the argument here with three simple substitutions:  "He 111" becomes "TBD", "Hurri" becomes "Zero", and "Ju 88" becomes "TBM".  Then, we got the He 111, and we saw that He 111's and Ju 88's do about the same.

Brooke,
You going to be in TBM's?
If so, and if I can commit to all four frames, and if you want me, are you going to make us practice for hours on end so we all know what we are doing in them? Know the strengths and weakness' of every thing we may come up against? Are we going to have to spend hours just drilling on the optimum drop angles? Optimum dive angles? Optimum flight altitudes? Are you going to try to make sure that if you die, everyone in your squadron is up to speed on the attack plan and can take over as Group Lead? Is this going to be another one of those scenarios where, due to the knowledge and plan you share, the practices you make us attend and all the rest of your hard nose Group Leader shenanigans, we will always consider this a great scenario, even if we all die?
Just curious.  :D

Heh!  :aok

I'm happy to be in either TBM's or B5N's.  I'm not sure if I need to be on one side or the other yet.  Would you fly B5N's if I'm in those instead?

And where would that leave us, as the playerbase?  Or is that the goal here with all this crying?  And if so I have to ask again, where would that leave us?

What happened to you, Doo?  Did you take a couple months off - Go play warthunder and lose your balls?  Damn, Scoob you used to be a fighting man.  I have never witnessed a more pathetic catalogue of defeatist wimpisms than this thread exhibits.  Whining about torpedo bombers?  My god, get a grip folks.  Strap in, goggle up and kill the enemy.

Any kommnader worth his stripes could take either side in this scenario and win handily.

Aw Stampf :(

I never said that Scenarios need to go away nor events as a whole. I continue to lobby for my FSO return. I simply feel the Scenario Event needs a serious re-work. That aside allow me to say:

I feel that the TBM-3 has no place in Early Pacific setups. However, the TBM-3 will NEVER keep the Axis from winning a historic event that has a squadron led by perdweeb. I will admit that I am not the best combat group leader in Aces High, but only because you still lead one. I love a challenge and I will still fly with the odds against me, I welcome it. But, I still see no reason not to mention the problems. Will the TBM-3 keep me from flying? No. Will it keep me from embarrassing every fighter group that enters icon range? No. Will it keep the Axis from winning? Maybe, if I am not there. The War Thunder bit was below the belt, but I wipe it off.

Despite what you see, read, think, or hear dont forget I am still the baddest boy around (next to you) when I have a squad following me into a nasty hornet's nest. {Stevie Wonder plug: I wish those days could come back once more}

In the previous pics, some names from the past, and some still around:

Bruv and Klingan of VF-2 taking off in their F4F's from Lady Lex.
ROC screaming in on three Zeros to try for the clear.
Beefcake, KKen, and Babalon out hunting the IJN big fish.
A collection of Finns on their way to ruin your day (if you are the enemy).

<S> to them all!
