Erg it's not A6m2, and P-40B. It's A6M2, P-40B, and Hurri I.
:)
The manuverability of the A6M2 is negated by the manuverability of the Hurri. The speed of the P-40B is not negated.

Same as this weeks setup. The speed, firepower, and ruggedness, of the F6F vs the manuverability the zeke and tony.

It couldnt be though, the FM2 had to be put in to negate the one advantage the Japanese had.

I guess the only way to get this through peoples heads is for everyone to just quit flying Axis in the CT. The Luftwaffe squads seemd to have wised up. There is always a reason not to put the FW-190 in, or if it is put in it has to be countered with a late war spit. So now the Lufwaffe guys are flying in other arenas. Wotan has left the CT staff, is this good for the CT? It seems to be okay to force the Axis guys to fly smart and work for their kills, but not the Allies. Believe it or not one day everyone is going to log on and there won't be any Axis guys. Icons or no icons.

lowe i really didnt expect a  whine like that from you.  Did you look at the numbers from last week?  ijaaf spanked the allies.  

The tony and f6f are an even match and the tony outmaneuvers the f6f.  The fm2 is slow as molassses, and is toast if an a6m spots it.

I really think you have lost perspective here.  The fm2 is a dog compared to the ijn set.  

f6fs and fm2 running into tonys and a6m5s are going to have a very hard time living.  I put good money the kills will be even or running a little toward the japanese on this setup too.

Ergster.
Don't take it as a whine, it's not meant to be. I can give my opinion without shedding a tear.;)
This is my opinion based on my experiances. It's not meant to slight anybody, especially you or VF-27, or the CT staff. I can go fly Allied for a few sorties, and still  be glued to my opinion, and I think you could go fly Axis a few and still not change your mind. I do think flying etheir side for an extended time gives you a better idea on whats going on. I base my opinion on flying for months on both sides. Now that I'm back Allied I still stand by my opinion life is tougher on the Axis side, and if we want Axis players to fly against. Both sides are going to have to deal with difficult setups.

When I logged on, 3 Allied CVs were attacking 1 Jap base.  I imidietly sent them in all different directions.  From this point on, the Japanese flyers should have only had to dealt with only one US fighter type at a time/area.  If you saw an FM-2 after the first base (21? SW point) was shut down, he flew from a long way.

I think it was fine to include the FM-2, but in all fairness, the CVs should have been separated.

this is going to be a real problem.  We only get 4 cvs, once they are sunk we are done.  If some love muffin puts them all together next to land bases (dead or not) we are going to have a very crappy week.  Personally, I think they should remove the fm2, as I really wanted to do some damage to a base last night but the only plane I could get was a fricking wimpy bellybutton fm2.

Ya know.... I went on CT last night to find this CV fleet just sitting offshore of the IJN's SW bases...  I mean rock throwing distance close folks...!  I won't name names, but all the allies were doing was shelling IJN bases and racking up PROX kills on IJN pilots trying to reloacte the CV to the deep six.

Now I suppose Erg will say I'm whining next....  But WTF is Aces High?  Is it a WW2 fighter/bomber simulation with fleets to attack, and/or take off from?  
Or, is it a Fleet sim with planes thown in to harass the fleets?

Can we please make the fleets big guns non-manable, and get back to the business of flying?  This crap of "I park my fleets off base## and pound them to hell plus wrack up points for prox kills", is about as lame as lame can be..! :mad: :mad:

Lowe calls for Axis pilots to stop flying in CT... I agree 99% with him..!!!  The 1% hold back is for "What if HTC sees the CT numbers falling then decides to just DROP the CT?"  Which is about where I put HTC's attitude towards the Axis players right about now.  "Screw 'em, we got their money, so just screw 'em.  If they leave, there's plenty more suckers.... err customers out there to be had.", is the message I see between the lines of invisible ink.

And I am about t the point where I'll not only cancel AH, but drop the internet as well.  Who the heck needs these headaches in the name of "FUN"???

Well there!  Now I have had my piece and feel better about it!

Okay before I'm missunderstood. I never call for AXIS pilots to quit flying CT. The one thing that would enhance CT is for MORE AXIS guys to fly there. Seriously thats the biggest problem I see, if we could somehow get more Axis pilots a lot of the plane whining would go away. It's not just the Axis guys have plane issues on setups it's also the low numbers.

Wow I am surprised at how much pent-up frustration has been vented here in the last few days.

Axis guys should love the CT right now, primarily I'm seeing the P-40E fight the 109F, and we all know who has the better plane in this case.  I even get to fly Allied to even the numbers!

One problem, there are some F4U-4s running around - apparently available from CV60.

New maps and planes are coming within a few weeks.  Keep the faith guys!    Depending on the design of the Mission Arena, this may be our last few months with the CT, so lets enjoy it while it lasts.
