I was not comparing directly the brewster to a single 7mm-armed-plane. I was simply saying "Any old thing with even one of the weakest guns, could and did get kills in real life -- but in this game it'd be totally different"

Oh, and I did post a thread about the Brewster in the Wishlist-forum in August when it was started, linky.
And Brewster air-to-air victory credits.

Time for the Brewster?

flying against poorly trained pilots flying sub standard aircraft. it would get annihilated in aces high, both in the MA and scenarios.

If you would add I-16 and I-153 aswell, it would make an AvA setup which would give the best furballing fun AH has to offer.

You should really put that pipe down.

Hi,

the flight datas of the brewster are not that bad at all. Thjough it dont had to offer much vs the A6M2, but same count for the I-16 and I-153.

The US F2A-3 dont had a more bad performence than the F4F. The F2A-3 got flown by poorly trained pilots in the pacific, the F4F´s got same bloody noses until the pilots got trained to make teamfight.

The FAF B.239 was more light but had less power, therfore the Vmax was worse, the climb similar but the turn better.

I dont see a reason not to include it. The relation between the F2A-3 and the Zero wouldnt be more bad than the FW190A8 vs other 1944 allied planes. The B.239 vs I-16 would be much more close.

I-16, I-153, Lagg3, Mig-3, Ki-43( 1+2+3) and Bf109E-7b are also welcome on my side.

Greetings, Knegel

No need to exaggarate. I don't think the Zero/Bw fight would be THAT bad.

Anybody have some info about the FAF Brewster turn circle?

Smallest turn circles, from Kweassa's excellent testing post:

A6M2: 104.6m
Hurricane Mk.I: 111.0m
A6M5: 115.3m
Spitfire Mk.I: 117.3m
Hurricane Mk.IIc: 123.8m
FM-2: 128.1m
Ki-84-I-Ko: 133.2m
Spitfire Mk.IX: 134.3m
Spitfire Mk.V: 134.5m
Seafire Mk.II: 135.8m
F4F-4: 139.5m

NACA F2A-3 tests are pretty good starting point for analyses.

i dont think they managed a complete circle during testing without getting shot down or crashing into the ground.
