Title: Early war rockers
Post by: Puck on September 15, 2006, 01:13:18 PM: Ahem.

Now that we have all established out love and admiration for the new arena set up and all the uproar has died down into the normal level of background whining, it's time to talk airplanes...

US: P-39 "Iron Dog"
Russia: LaGG-3 "Varnished Coffin"
Italy: Fiat G.55 "Not bad for an Italian aircraft"
Japan: Ki-43 "Some day they'll name a motorcycle after me"
Germany: Ju-52 "Aunt Jamima"

I'd love to see what the P-39 with it's 4 MGs and 1-37mm cannon would do. :)

Try the G.50 or CR.42 for the Italians.

I was originally going to say:

Italy: Fiat G.50 "GAWD I'm UGLY"

but I changed my mind. Even in the early war arena it would be pretty weak, and we already have a pretty weak Italian aircraft there.

It would hardly be dominant. Ok, if you strap one on Drex's back it would own even the late war aircraft, but otherwise it's chum.
