Cajun - Bristol Bulldog??? Are you nuts??? (I mean this in a friendly, pleasant fashion. Please do not be offended

)

The only folk mental enough to fly these operationally during the WWII era were the Finns! (Again, mental is a semi-affectionate description - I hope Finland doesn't come looking for me!:eek: )

The RAF retired the last one in 1937, and I really think that they would be simply cannon fodder in the MA. Unless some Finns fly them. And then you could just BnZ them until they run out of gas. A single 37mm or 88mm would turn them into a flaming, fluttering collection of wire, metal fragments, and smoking fabric.

No worries palef I take it as a complement.

In the first combat in history of The Finnish Air Force Mr. Toivo Uuttu had to fight alone in a Bulldog against 3 soviet I-16s. He had to ditch under enemy fire but managed to down one of the I-16s in the process.

What about adding an Me163 Komet? I think it would be a fun counter to super hi buffs. But in order for them to not dominate the arena, they need to make the fuel very short, make sure they don't make it up every time (Historically I think it was 35% of them blew up on takeoff due to the highly volitile rocket fuel) and they should be difficult to land (on a ski)..

Also, what about the Ki-84...I do not understand how you can over look them?? Historically they were one of the best radial engined aircraft...After the war we did tests on them, they out performed the P-51D, P-47D, F4U, P-38, the list goes on...It just kind of weird that we don't have them inb the game...

I do think having a Sea Fury in the game would be a stretch as they weren't active in WW2, kind of like putting an F-16 in a Vietnam Sim lol....

Meteor III would be a nice foil to the Me.262.

But I'd like to BigUCs list done first.
