PAC setups are gonna start a huge rumble..
The "restrictions" on P-38L, F4U-1, -1C, -1D, -4 in PAC setups are to be probably lifted..
And with that one plane, the potency of fighter power the Imperial Japanese side can muster will increase as much as two fold!
Man, this is gonna rock!

Welcome at long last. Will it have the Nakajima Ha-45 2000hp engine and it's corresponding performance in excess of 400mph level flight?

About time. Think of all the fun we missed waiting on a plane that could put up a fight against the Corsair. Now all we need is a N1K2-J.

Still wont give us early was corsairs:( However, could fill the arena a bit more with late war stuff. Does this mean we can now have the F4U-4?????????

If ya cant take a joke Karnak.........

With you F4U boys you can never tell if it is a joke, or something overly serious. Especially since you've been beating that same N1K2-J drum for so long now.

Dude look at his haiku for pete's sake.

Actualy slash has a point. When flying that other sim, all you would hear is, we need the N1K2J. IN here its the opposite.

CurtissP-6EHawk,
Well, we'll see and I promise to be in the CT to fly the Ki-84 against your F4Us.
It is likely to become my main ride in AH.
-
The F4U-1 variant we have is likely to be about as close the the real F4U-1 as we are going to get unless we can petition them to work on a new canopy to make the current -1 a -1A.
As for the setups we will just have to wait and see especially if we get a new Phillipine map done in the not to distant future.
-
B-29 would be a great addition too, its just there are so many other a/c that are in need of being modelled, I doubt we will see it any time soon. B-29 raids against Japan would be great though with Ki-84s and P-51s in the mix. In the meantime it does indeed open up all the late war stuff in Burma and the PTO. Should be a great addition.
-
if we have late war pto with Ki84's you might see me in the CT PTO setup's more.

Well, my squads ride is the F6F but Im partial to the '38 and '51D. Cant wait to see you up Karnak.

The B-29 isn't the next bomber in development by HTC. I don't think they even have it on the list at least according to the books I saw scattered all over the HTC offices the other day.
-
Books? they had books? do tell :)
-
Lets just say that it looks like Pyro, Natedog, and Superfly robbed all the book store in north america of all the books about world war two aircraft. There were several books detailing the F6F series which leads me to assume that it is one that will be getting a face lift in the near future.

I'd like to see the F6F-3. In my inept hands the F6F-5 is just not nimble enough, I've seen others turn the Hellcat successfully with Spits, but I cannot seem to. Perhaps I spend too much time in the FM2 though.

So what kind of bomber books does HTC have lying around?
-
We're not getting the Defiant but I think Pyro did give us a hint. :D
I would love a -3 Hellcat... though the -5 should be more manuverable on account of having better roll. -3 is arguably a better climber and accelerator but I haven't seen hard data to support it.. Some pilots claimed is performed better than the -5 others say the opposite I may have to look into it and see what if anything I can find.
You can mix it up with Spits in the Hellcat, but you have to be really agressive and go for the shot early... the longer the fight lasts the most the odds go towards the Spit. At 250mph and up the F6F will turn with anything in the game. You can use that to get an early shot on a spit but you're only gonna get 1-2 chances before the speed drops and the spit can get you... provided the spit pilot doesn't make a mistake.

The F6F-5 was more maneuverable than the F6F-3 due to spring tabs on the ailerons.
