Well actually Cajun, a biplane has four wings, and a monowing plane has 2, so...

...Well, Mono means 1, Bi means 2 so biplanes are really mono planes and mono planes are really what happens to german/italian fighters if I ever get a gladiator?

I did not say there was 1 new soviet aircraft in the works. I was answereing a question from soviet, and said that we had started work on 1 new aircraft.

Oops...

I don't remember exactly, but I thought it read: "there is 1 soviet"

Which made me think, "Oh! 1 Soviet plane" Of course, it was early and clearly I wasn't thinking straight.

Damn you Soviet!

well weve had all (or most) of the early war set now... must be a late war one I reckon.
as is usually argued it has to not skew the arena and serve some sort of purpose and if possible also piss off Warbirds or Fighter Ace as being distinct to AH...

hmmmmm...

Id bet on the Hayate

but id love a wierder one like the catalina or sunderland.

Early war set (especially italian, russian, japanese & german) are nowhere near complete, but I'd bet it will be a mix of early and mid war (maybe even a late war) planes.

canjun,

Flight time does not equal range.  True, the Gladiator could stay airborne for longer, but it only had a range of 440 miles.  The Spitfire Mk XIV had a range of 850 with drop tanks and about 600 without.  The Spitfire Mk I had a range of about 500 miles.

Getting to the fight counts for more than time in the air, in my opinion.

when the predators caught a whif of the biplane, the fight would come to the biplane

HT do u want to make a poll like with the Val (I guess it was the Val)?

[Kweassa]

My personal preferance list:

 I-16 (1939)
 Mig-3 (1941)
 Yak-1 (1941)
 Yak-7B (1941)
 Yak-1B (1942)
 P-39N (1942)
 P-39Q (1943)
 LaGG-3 (1943)

True, but you are comparing a 1939 (well when the war started, though it had allready been in service a few years) to a late war spit 14, it did actuelly have a longer range then the spitfire I (spit fireI having a range of 395 compared to gladiators 440).

As well as having near twice the firing time of the hurriI and spitI, though it had half the guns, I have also heard Gladiators could carry bombs as well, but not sure if this is true or not.
