AH doesn't "need" a Brewster per se, but there are some who would like to see it added.   I'd rather see a Finnish bird added than more LW/RAF/US birds.
We have four FW190 models, five 190 models, yet we hear clamoring for more more more of them.  In the same breath, the same folks say the US and Brits have enough planes......lol.
Would be nice to see some of these folks get off the LW bandwagon and encourage HTC to add more IJA/IJN/VVS aircraft, ya know?

4 190s and 5 109s. Well, that's what you get if you stick to 2 fighter types most of the war - many many versions. Be fair.

But for the record, I would like to see Ki84, Ki100 and Me410 ASAP.

Definitely ;-)

Just think, wouldn't it be strange NOT to model the most successfull fighter of WW2, the Brewster model B-239? Highest kills-losses ratio of WW2, higest scoring single airframe of WW2, the single airframe with most kills by a single pilot... All those by the Sky Pearl, Brewster.

When we get an early war VVS set it would make sense......until then...........????

well based on the "thousands" of Finns who seem to play this game it should be here by popular demand.:rolleyes:

The Buffalo is a turd, and I would fly it for that very reason!

I will apologize in advance regarding my lack of information regarding the Buffalo.

With that being said, I recall hearing bad things about this bird, one of which being called a "flying coffin," and although I cannot recall where I saw that, it has stayed with me all these years. I read this over 20 years ago.

Can someone fill in the enormous holes in my story? I'd give it a shot if it were here, I'm a PTO guy mostly :)

If aircrafts of more varying nationalities are desired I suggest the following:

Austrailian - CA-13 Boomerang Mk II
Czechoslovakian - Avia B.534
Dutch - FokkeAvia D.XXI
Finnish - Myrsky II
French - Dewoitine D.520
Polish - PZL P.11
Romianian - IAR 80A
Swedish - FFVS J.22
Yugoslavian - Rogozarsky IK-3

of these plane all saw combat except the swede and all scored air-to-air kills (also the Greek air force scored w/ the PLZ P.24 and i dont think the Czechs scored with their Avia B.534, but the Bulgarians did - against B-24s at Polesti).
