We should make some flight togheter with my 205 in MA sometimes

Anyway, if you need some kind of help for the development of a setup for the CT that involves italian planes, just lemme know, I'll be happy to contribute in any way.
Greece and Albania are very involving for me too. A brother of my grandmother died with a CR42 in Albania, in a duel against Gladiators. He shot down one Blenheim and than was shot down himself. He was rewarded with a gold medal to the memory.
If interested you can find his history here.
Also my grandfather was a pilot, he piloted floatplanes and directed the airport of Addis-Abeba, Etiopia. Than the english army came and he went to a concentration camp until the end of the war. Lots of stories from him

.
BTW I cant see your italian para'....

Thanks for the offer LUPO, I hope we get some more Italian planes from HTC for the CT so we can do more with them. I am going to do a 202 vs P40E set up in the CT at the end of the month that should be fun.

Nice Pick whear was that taken?

I have read parts of that websight before it is a good one lots of good stories. To bad he dident make it throught the war.

Prety amasing your family history, I bet he has some interesting stories, thats a paticulary interesting area realy the Campagine in East Africa, little know in the States but very interesting from what I have read of it. What kind of float planes did he fly?

You shure you cant see it?, I can...

I think the addition of rarer countries aircraft is a great thing to do in AH.

I think the brazilian P47 is fantastic and is actuallly my favourite scheme
Italian aircfraft add a lot of flair to AH as do the italian squads.Something i feel HTC should really encourage.

Just think if HTC gave us each at least one of our countries a WW2 aircraft! we could form real country specific squads for international fights!

Id love to fight players flying their correct countries aircraft wouldnt you??

If we got the Italian Cr42 I think id fly it a tremendous amount. Same for the British Gloster gladiator oe the German Henschel Hs 123. All models ive made as a kid and fondly remember.

Oh and btw Iraq flew Me110s and other LW planes. Now that would be a great one to see up in AH.
How about polish aircraft
Czechoslovakia
Netherlands
Yugoslavia
france
Finland
Rumania ??

all of these had their own makes of aircraft too.

If HTC were to add an entire range of aircraft one day you could have all of these with closely matched performances:

Great Britain - 1938 - Gloster Gladiator - 257mph@14.5k - 4xmgs
Germany -1936 - Henschel Hs123 - 212mph@3.9k - 2xmgs(440lbs bombs)
Czechoslovakia - 1935 - Avia B534 - 245mph@14.4k - 4xmgs
Poland - 1935 - PZL P-24g - 254mph@14.7k - 2x20mm;2xmgs (100kg bombs)
Netherlands - 1938 - Fokker D.XXI -286mph@14.5k - 4xmg
Yugoslavia - 1938 - Rogozarski IK3 - 326mph@17.7k - 1x20mm;2xmgs
France - 1938 - Morane-Saunier MS406 - 301mph@16.4k - 1x20mm;2xmgs
Italy - 1939 - Fiat CR42 - 272mph@19.700k - 2xmgs
Italy - 1936 - Breda Ba 65 - 267mph - 4xmgs (2,200lb bombs)
USA - 1940 - Brewster F2a-2 - 323mph@16.5k - 4xmgs (91kg bombs)
Japan - 1937 - Mitsubushi A5M2 - 280mph@6.9k - 2xmgs
Russia - 1937 - Polikarpov I-16/10 - 288mph@9.8k - 4xmgs

others worth note :

Finland - 1944 - Myrky II26 HLeLv - 328mph@10.6k - 4xmgs
Rumania - 1942 - IAR80A - 316mph@13k - 6xmgs

hmmm gimme'

Ya, I hear that Hazed, the thing is that these planes withen their respective time frames in a CT or SEA set up would provide some great fight's, and as you mentioned earler provide new learning experances which is part of what made AH so apealing in the first place, My first AH kill was in a 205, and the 205 was the first plane I flew in AH:)

June 27th's CT set up will look like this:):

BTW I highly Recomend this series to anyone interested in Italian planes.

LUPO · « **Reply #66 on:** June 14, 2003, 08:10:31 PM »

Yep this series is very good!

But in the next CT setup I want the right carburettor modelled for spitfires (no inverted flight was possible, isnt'it?...).

And the sand filter too!

brady · « **Reply #67 on:** June 15, 2003, 12:50:56 AM »

Thier will be no Spit's in this set up, it is the one I ran last fall, with the 109E-4, 202 vs the Huricane MK I and the P40E.

Depends what modle Spit and when. The early ones would cut out failry easiyl under negative G, by the end of 1940 they had anti-g devices but would still cut out after sustained negative g. By the end of 41 they were fuel injected and didn't have this problem. Of course the newer versions took longer to get to Africa and the Med since Fighter Command took priority.
With the filter the original Volkes filter was often replaced in the field with a much more streamlined design created at the RAF service base at Aboukir. This "Aboukir" filter was eventually fitted at the factory.

Nice Interiour Pick's of the Cant Z 1007 from my Ali D'Italia series on it:

This plane would rock, and the cover art is Way cool:)
