On the other hand, I did note that by the end of this week's setup, the lure of the Spit 14 had diminished (or all the MA people who wanted to fly a non-perked Spit 14 got bored and went home) and the odds were generally even.  Heck, I even got to fly allied on Wednesday night.  So, with that said, I guess it would be OK to try it.  It's only a week.

There is always one AC with an edge (albeit slight at times) and that's what all the dweebs fly.  Why make Okinawa any different?

Give them the C hog.  If it becomes silly and meaningless to fly with that in there, drop it after Wednesday.

I mean, we can always drop it if it ruins arena play right?  Give it a ride.

this set up sucks. Its very one sided. If your not going to give us the C-hog, then give us the P51B model.....

One sided?  F4Us, Fm2s and Hellcats can't hang with Japanese planes?

I like the plane set...from both sides of the fence.

I held my own very well thank you in a p47 vs a ki-61 and a nik.

But my favorite of all is the ki-61 :D

I think its a good setup. P-51s were not part of the invasion force, so they are not there. Every late war setup doesnt need Mustangs. CT is historical as it can be within reason. Fly a F4U-1D or a P-47D.

Cool, another disgruntled CNN hugger.  Kanttori, the checks in the mail bud!!!

Wasn't talking about ONLY the BBS, was also referencing what I have seen on the TB in the CT the last couple of days.  :rolleyes:

yeah, if you can get your hands on the Hellcat.  When I flew, only the F4U-1 was near the area of action.  They can have a good handle on things, but only if you have the E advantage and kill the N1K2's fast.  The 1 Hog vs the Ki-61 was a fun fight, though.  Against the N1K2, it was insane.  That thing accelerates very well.  I literally had one flying circles around me.  LOL.
