Time for the Brewster?

The Brewster Model 239 was a de-navalized variant of the standard navy F2A-1. The tailhook, life raft and catapult equipment were removed, the telescopic gun sight was replaced by a ring and bead sight, and the Wright R-1820-34 engine was replaced with an export approved 950 hp Wright 1820G-5 Cyclone. The Navy Direction Finding (RDF) antenna was replaced by a simplified RDF antenna mounted in the rear cockpit. Armament consisted of one .30 caliber and one .50 caliber machine gun mounted in the cowling and two .50 caliber machine guns mounted in the wings. Initial deliveries of the Model 239 began during February of 1940.

...

During the year of uneasy peace that followed, the Finns made a number of modifications to the Model 239 including the installation of armored headrest and seat back, and a reflector gun sight was installed in place of the ring and bead sight.

...

During its combat career in Finland the Buffalo is credited with 496 enemy aircraft destroyed against the loss of nineteen Buffalos, for a victory ratio of 26:1.

UP!

No to forget a grand thread!

Bring the Brewster to AH!

Stalin's Fourth scenario would be true with it available. With the achievements the airframe had in the hand of the finns it would for sure get a dedicated following that would beat (or atleast make a glorius exit) against the odds leveled against it even in the MA.

I was going to say the same thing, except there are posts from 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006...

With all the effort that was put into the Map (not that I have played it online yet)  

I think the Brewster would be a nice reward....

Never the less I think that these must be posted





BTW PPL,  They are not my work, For those of you who have been around for less than a couple of years (like me) go here for more info...

Only... when modeled correctly in AH it would suck worse than the P40B, and I know we just see hordes and HORDES of that plane in the MA every day!

Don't forget people use a 1944 plane to substitute for a pre-war plane. The FM2 is no indication of what the Brewster could do.


Brewster was obsolete. In real life you can get kills with a single 7mm MG on any plane. So kills were earned in many obsolete aircraft. In AH it would suck blow and stink all at the same time :P

Well, we'd ofcourse need some more early war planes (I-16 Rata, I-153 Chaika) to act as worthy opponents. :) While it might not be a hit in the MA, it would still see use in the SEA and AvA. It's been a while since I last flew a sortie in the MA, so I don't really care whether it is available there or only in AvA and SEA.

A single 7mm? I suggest you go read through this thread to see what the Finnish B-239's had as armament. :) (It was 3x12.7mm and the single 7mm - see my post at the top of this page!).
