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..........
