We DO need a 1943 P-38 in Aces High at some point. P-38F or G.

I dont know why its "dissed" so much? Silly plane? escuse me?

It was the USAAFs best fighter in the pacific untill the P-51 arrived, very late in the war, based from Okinawa.

Both leading USAAF aces (Bong and Macguire) flew it.

Hardly silly.

Regards.

p.s. The A6M5 is there as a "sub" for the MISSING A6M3 Model 32, thats what TheBug is trying to tell you.

I didnt mean to make the p38 out as a bad plane, I was just making fun of its design.  Kinda like the mid engine in the p39, thats all.  I like it just fine (although I am just a bigger target in it).

geeesh what a sorry thread :)

you guys got it easy,

used to be 2 planes for ijn

a6m5 and ki-61 vrs the entire late war us planes set. We did get limited or perked nikis

Ya's had f4us, f6fs, p38s p47s and p51bs. Ya's had b26s and b17s enabled.

Ijn had nothing that could sink a fleet and ya's would park umm right off airfields.

Any pac set used to be pure crap for axis pilots. Used to be just me brady and wilbuz and a few others on the axis side.

The a6m2 has basically the same cannons as the 109e and 110c. Even same ammo load as 109e. What we dont have modelled is mgff/m rounds. So it seems like mgff is very weak. They were a an effective round in rl. You just had to get in close. When shooting at an f4f you gotta hit the wings. You need deflection shots so that you hit the wing flat. The rest of that plane will just swallow up your ammo.

Hurri 1 can handle a 109e or a 110 and ju88. It constantly gets better scores then the spit 1 vrs axis planes. It kicked arse in bob even though from the films I saw the hurris made the wrong attack against the 88s. They paid for it but the hurri 1 is hardly a tough plane to fly. First sortie I ever flew in any hurri was a hurri 1 and I shot down 4 ju88s in the 1st ct bob set up.

The only setup we can really run that is relatively decent in terms of historical match ups is late 43 early 44 eto.

HT gave us all these wonderfull navy planes with nothing to fight them.

He takes bribes, ask him for more ijn planes, ask him for more versions of the p38. It makes no sense fighting with each other over who has it the worst in each setup.

Everyone knows its the axis :) But we get through with our superior talent :)

fyi half you guys arguing in here now were the same guys who argued with me when I pointed out the complete imbalance of previous pac set ups.

A find it a bit humorous. :)

As you were..........

??pac setups? ??  What on earth are those?  Wow wotan up hill both ways you say?  

I dont remember anybody whining about unbalanced mid-late war pac setups since I have been in the ct.  but I have only been here since the ct was 'reintroduced'.

oh yeah, here are some current stats for th ct.

212  hurries dead by 109s

184 109s dead by hurries.

116 hurries dead by 110a

108 110s dead by hurries
