I'd love to see this!

A lot of variables and options, but if you can provide a basic timeframe of early/mid/late war and which flavor of axis vs allies, I can give you a very good idea.

Or... you could go look at the old CT/AvA setups for ideas - they were usually balanced.

I also mentioned that in private talks with jeager but we want the players to choose the planes along with what heavy metal for the ground they would like to see.

Here’s my ideal win since we have the I16 which I always called the clown plane what would be an even match up for that since it is a nice turny plane and sometimes also underated

[Molsman]

My plane rarely has enough parts to fully take part in a fight. I am not going out on a limb when I say leaf my plane alone as I am gaining woody fiber when the trees start to bark at my 38.

Lt.Cap and I used to battle it out in Ava and with his P38 and I forget what A6m i was flying which was a sweet battle  I know it wasn’t the a6m5 I think it was the model2

I wanna say Bong flew the 38g since they were in the pacific against the early Zeros but you know more about The Blenders then I do I just know how to crash them and get a clean landing

just so you guys know, ive saved all these combo's at my house so we can try them out!

@37k merge 

If you can suggest some relative hangar queens, I can provide some decent down low matchups... as I mentioned, there are way too many to just put out on a casual list.


For example:

P39D/P40F vs KI61/A6M5

P38g/p47D11/LA5/YAK9T vs 190A5/109G2

F4F/P40C/E vs A6M2-3/KI43

Brewster vs YAK7/I16/109F

F6F vs N1K2/KI84

P39Q/YAK7/YAK9T vs 109G2/6

I16/HURRI1 vs 109E

P40N vs C205

HURRI1 vs C202

HURRI2D vs STUKA87G

IL2/B25H vs 110G/ME410

[Shane]

P40N vs C205

I'd probably change this to P38G/P47D11 vs C205

P40N vs KI43

P47D25 vs FW190F8

shane, i find the the KI43 one of the most Turny planes in the game. a P40N can keep up with that?

yep.

Only chance a p40 has in that situation is to HO or run.. its not turning with the ki43.

there's a low level 4k alt cap... with the focus on ground action (no bombs) straffing, so not a lot of room for vertical.  This ain't dueling.

Even more backing up my point.  That airplane vs airplane match up on a low deck fight isn't even close.
The.only option the p40 has is to try roping the ki after the merge, and I'm not even sure it's mechanically capable of that.  Not to mention if they merge at say 3k, they are forced to fight downhill.

Next time (Thurs?) they run a combo plane/gv show up to get an idea how whatever setup plays out.
