Title: New Axis Plane
Post by: Larry on January 15, 2008, 11:06:37 PM
I would like to hold a vote for which plane you would like to see if the axis are able to pick one next week. I will only tally the vote from players I have seen playing on the axis side.

I flew the 109E today in the AvA, does that count? :)

I'd add the 109F.  

Seems like that would be the natural progression of things.

With the bigger fields and longer distances to target gona need JU88's IMO

Ju88, 109E and 110C4b are more than capable of handing the acklies thar arses.

For the bases further inland do we need to take down the town or no? If yes then the ju88s the towns r huge. If not the 109f.

Ju88 since we are going to need a heavy bomber very soon.

We can still have air CAP with the 109E's for a while... Although the 109F would be a great improvement :D .

Ju-88's would serve our objectives very well.

If the war is continuing with the same map (which I hope not because this one is dull dull dull dull dull) or if the next map is also townless...then the 109F.

If we get a new map and the next map has towns, we need the Ju-88's.

Ju88.  Need to get bombs around quickly.  Plus, they would be hard to catch. Zekes and Emils should provide enough air cover for now.  No to mention the 110s.

Would you allow the 25 and the Mossie in at the same time to counter the 88, and 110 combo?

I didnt know introduction of Mossie was a possibility this time around for allies.  The Mossie would absolutely rule the plane set.  As a bomber AND as a fighter!

Ju-88

109F

Should we consider how the Allies' possible plane choice would affect our own plane choice?

They have some nice birds for their next choice- a P-38 or Spit 9 could be quite unbalancing if we don't have an upgraded fighter.

I'm leaning towards JU-88's as well, but if they have a P-38 and we have 88's, it could get ugly IMO.

good point..we have to win and get both:D
Title: New Axis Plane
Post by: Emu on January 18, 2008, 02:27:24 PM
Right,  If we only get one pick, I would go for 109G-2.  Reasons are better speed and climb to match P38 and Spit IX, and can carry gondolas, which can help for buff hunting (they could introduce B26s and Lancs).  Not to mention it can also carry a 250Kg. bomb.  

If we can get two choices in, then Ju88 AND 109G-2.  I love the 109F4, but wont make sense given what we are against, and our strategic needs.

Post by: Larry on January 18, 2008, 02:49:42 PM
Uh emu we only get one. Bf109F4, C202, or Ju88.
Title: New Axis Plane
Post by: Emu on January 19, 2008, 10:49:42 AM
109F4.

Post by: SuBWaYCH on January 19, 2008, 11:39:56 AM
109F4.

Even thought the E-4 is more then enough, lets add F-4 for good measure.

JU88 / HE-111

Most fights have been below 5k, go ahead and give em a silly spitty that performs worse on the deck.  :D

Kinda-sorta. Ever since Allies got F4F & Axis got 190s, it's turning into a cherry-pick-a-thon. Same guys that were more than happy to turn and work the reversal are now just nosing down and running for it unless they have alt.

What used to be a migrating low alt furball is now each time taking turns picking each other as it moves from base to base. Might as well be in the LWA.

From now on best pick for both sides should be whatever has the fastest climb.
