is the 190A-5 considered an early war fighter?

[caldera]

As far as AH goes?

On the AH website planes page, it lists earliest availability for the type as early war, but kills in it don't seem to correspond with "kills in early war fighters", or "kills of late war planes in early war fighters" achievements.

And since we (or at least me) are discussing the subject, what are the early war planes that actually count for early war kills?

[Devil 505]

It was a perk plane in the EW arena when it was a thing. I seem to remember it was treated like the equivalent of a Tempest in the MA, like 50 perks or something.

109g2 and 109f4 are early war planes..

Always considered the 190a5 early war as it's the earliest fw version in the game..

Early war planes in the game are 109e, a6m2, P40C, spit 1, hurr 1, c202 ( maybe). I believe thats it. The 190A5 is considered mid war, and ironically one of the best midwar planes in the game.

The EW arena roster was much broader. 109F, Hurri 2C, SpitV, F4F, I-16, TBM(I remember one guy flying it like a fighter so it counts!) were in there. Maybe even the Brewster and P-39D, but I don't specifically remember them. I think even the Spit 9 was a perk plane too.

Spitfire IX, Lancaster, P-38G and FW 190A-5 were perked

That's more or less how I remember it.  Now to figure out which ones still work.

From that list, I have scored these kills so far:
109F-4  (1)
Hurri 2C  (1)
190A-5  (13)
Sea Hurri  (3)
Spit IX  (1)

For achievements, it says I have only 5 kills in EW planes and only 2 kills of LW planes.
Pretty sure the 109F kill counted (La7) and possibly the Hurri2C (190D-9) but the kill in the Hurri was last month and I could have sworn I had zero kills of LW planes until this week.

This is my punishment for taking a six year break.

So the A-5 and IX don't count, because they were perked in the EW arena, leaving 109F-4, Hurr IIC and Sea Hurri - 1+1+3=5

[caldera]

Your math adds up. 

Thanks 

[DmonSlyr]

Strange I dont recall the 109F being scored as early war in the achievements, nore the SpitV, if you are going by achieving the shoot down ### in early war planes achievement. It was only the very early fighters.

Hi Lusche,

Do you have similar lineup for the old mid war arena?

Unfortunately I don't remember exactly the perked ones. I know the Typhoon was a perk plane in MW, and I think the Spitfire VIII was one, too.

The Spit8 was definitely perked, and I think the P-51B was also.

I don't remember the ME 410 being in the MW.
