I have a concept I would like to run before February. Just depends on Brookes schedule as I do not want them to overlap each other.

More is good!!!  :rock

(Image removed from quote.)

P-40E would be the more accurate choice.

The real problem is that the 38's and Cosairs dominate the Zekes about as well as the Zekes dominate the P-40's and P-39's. Not easy to balance and keep it fun for everyone.

I've flown a wildcat against zekes in a scenario and it was a very fun and even fight, the wildcat have a lot of ammo and the zekes are weak...
P-40:s would have a pure Bnz role as they are faster than the rest and with 6x .50s they would be very deadly.
TBM +SBD is also much more potent than their japanese counterparts.

So A6m3 + Ki-43 against F4f and P-40E/F is my suggestion.

Operation Cartwheel-Air campaign against Rabaul October/November 1943

Land  based raids were flown against Rabaul by B-25 and 24's escorted by P-38's

The Navy sent in carrier strikes.

The multiple raid format suits the 4 frame setup pretty well.

Throw in some Japanese carriers for added spice

I have to competely disagree with you....zeak vs wildcat zeak should win every time...zeak vs P40,,,yes the P40 can runor dive away but as soon as they turn for shot they slow themself down enough for another zeak to swoop in for an easy kill. You need P38s to give Allies a chance....the question is how many.

we did battle of  the coral sea, wildcats vs zekes, The cats dominated the zekes. I was really surprised how well the Wildcat performed.

I would like to repeat that I am not a fan of the 12-hour format. It's harder for me to schedule, and I feel like I missed out on a lot more, and let my squad down by not being able to fly more. Overall I got to fly for about 1.5-2 hours and that's it. I don't know how anything else went. I feel that when it's split up into frames of 2-3 hours over a series of weekends I feel a greater sense of involvement, as well as I get a better feel for the progress of the overall success (or loss) of a team. I honestly feel like I didn't matter at all in the single 12-hour frame format.

Nothing against the scenario itself, just commenting on the format for future consideration.

The problem Zimme is you end up with 10 players a side

SCREW PAC scenarios

Just like PAC FSOs  fly around a big ocean for hours to get gang banged by blue planes...

No thanks



BUT of course I will be there flying a torch with meat balls on the wings....... 

If you are going 4 frames then I like the post BOB cross channel duels  but FW-190 A-5s if allies get SPIT V's
Ditto  "WHITE 11"

No 190s in the Summer of 41. 109E and F, Spit II and Vb. Gotta use the Spit I.  About as even a fight as you can get
