(overheard at the "Inter-anal Cafe")

"I say; wot; jolly good shoe in the CA tonight and all that bloddy rot... And, bloody hell; Jerrie, have you chaps noticed there's no bleedin yanks?? Heaven; I say!"

"Yah, dis ist sergoode, not haffing any Amerikaners; vee can boom und zoom, fearing not ze feeble climing typhoons! Spitfirun ve can flame in droves!! Ist so very very goode; glory days fur zee Luftwaffe!"

(hang just backs out the door before the leather lovers and the nancy boy spit dweebs start slippin each other some tounge)

Umm, I do not wish to cast despersions on our (ahem) Allies and their superb British Fighters.. however; I'm finding all the nancy-boy spits goin round and round round round and round again almost as nauseating as a day old haggis hangin in the scottish sun.

Whilst the Lufwaffle crowd gets G10's we get stiff necks watchin 'em grab away; grab away.. and while I'm sure some would find this a touching sight.. can't we just have TWO USAAF planes??

Surely a P47D11 and a P51B won't disrupt the LW advantage TOO much.

Now don't get me wrong; I'm just tickled to death (repeatedly) have the CA and don't mind the smell so much while climbing for 10 minutes inna spit (or 20 inna typhie) to get my jollies; it just that I don't like to do T&B inna T&B airplane... most especially a damn nancy-boy spitfire or a truck like the typhie.

I wanna swat Leather Boys in USAAF Iron!! (just call me picky)

The current CT seems to be set up for the Germans to smack the Britsh Seafires around.

We need the P-51B or P-51D added in as the Mustang MkIII or Mustang MkIV to escort the Lancasters. The British didn't do long range escort jobs with the Spitfire F.MkIX.

Nah, gents, dont pay attention to him.....

he's just pissed that I killed him twice in the CA

.

(J/K)

Now seriously I think that the theory after the RAF only planeset is that the operations in norway were done only by RAF planes, and not by the USAAF. I think that under this policy the brits are lacking the Hellcat.

Personally I wont have problem with the P47D11 and P51B added in the CA, but that is just me

Ahh didn't know this was a terrain/aircraft marrige.

I'm kinda suprised it ain't dark all the time in the CA tho... hell; everybody knows the Brits never flew in daylight, and it was dark six months outta the year up there all damn day... and for that matter; who ever heard of couldless skies over Scotland?

Oh; well, back to that evil smelling dweebfire.

How about it HTC...I know you ain't to busy, so I'd like to see a Brit version of the P51B. You know, the one with the bubbly lookin' canopy and the purtier paint job! Purty Please?

Neither do I affirm it is like I say, hang. Just came to my mind the first time I logged in an asked myself why RAF-only planeset.

Is the only answer I find that fits.

BTW SOB; let them do a P51A (but not the one with the neutron guns, please!!!

), or bettern an A36 in RAF markings, and let the P51B as it is. Why to waste time in another version of the same plane?...is just like if I asked the 109G2 to be put in German markings...

I'm sure Funked will like the deal

Aww....Look at it tho' RAM. Ain't it purty?

Wish I coulda found a real pic, but this will have to do!

While Hellcats did tangle with ME109's over Norway (to the 109's displeasure) the Corsair was also there. The RN Fleet Air Arm lost one that ditched during the Tipritz attacks and the Germans captured it.

So?

We need the HOG !!!!

There are a bunch of finns that really do appreciate that there is a plane in AH with finnish markings on it. It's one of the most important things in AH for me. I really do hope that HTC never changes it unless there comes a multiple markings-option and has MT-222 as an option.

p51b, p47d11 and p38 needed.

R4M · « **Reply #10 on:** August 11, 2001, 11:46:00 AM »

Wmaker, the correct quote is "IF I asked for a 109G2"

Wich I don't because I think its great as it is. I was just making a comparison between making a new version of a plane with other nation's markings (P51A), or just making a new skin and cockpit cover (the malcom hood) to an already existing plane, the P51B.

Dont take it as something against the finnish G2, because it isn't

Replicant · « **Reply #11 on:** August 11, 2001, 01:40:00 PM »

Out of the current planeset, RAF/FAA (RN) used Spitfire Vb/IX, Typhoon, Seafire, Hellcat, Corsair II - F4U-1D, Mustang II/III and the forthcoming Hurricane IIC in the Scotland area. Lancaster's were used on occasion.

DUH!! Sorry RAM....misread the whole thing...should pay closer attention when reading english I guess. But I'm sure you understand why I have such "a quick trigger finger" on the subject.

WB had a Bf-109G-6 with Finnish markings in 2.0 version...in 2.01 markings were switched to german markings. I think I'm kind of paranoid when it comes to AH G-2 markings in AH. Sorry again for the misunderstanding.
