After reading about the great success the Finns had with the early model Buffalos, it has my vote:

Bring in the F2A-1 (F2A-2?) for the New Finn Map!!

Bring in the F2A-3 for the PTO!

I'd like to see the Brewster Buffalo in AH as well.

When it is add, it must be in Finnish colors. All other users failed to do anything with it, the Finns were the only people to win battle honors with it.

(I'm a Finnish-American, FWIW)

is that a dutch brewster? thats not the one we would want...not particularly effective, which leads me to a question i've been wondering about for a while: what did the finns do differently that made their brewsters a success? everyone else who flew them got slaughtered...was it the enemy they were up against (Buffalo has speed advantage against I-16, but not against Zero, Oscar, 109 and only just so against Nate) or did the finn pilots do something different or wre the machines altered to make them more effective?

In my knowledge Brewsters in finland were a little lighter than originals. That gave them better speed and better manouvering capabilities. All navy equipments were removed or something.

Pilots were also better trained than opponents. (at least early war)

I'm sure 1wmaker1 can explain better what was different. He is quite expert on this.
