A fine example of a 49th FG pilot.  :aok

PTO would rock, F4U included would be even better.

The problem with PTO scenarios is they can get a little overwhelming for the Axis.

The IJN/IJAAF planeset is hard pressed to take on all the USAAF/USN/USMC models at one time. I'd like to see future PTO setups possibly use less Allied aircraft instead of unleashing the whole planeset against the Japanese. Maybe a setup featuring the USN/USMC against the Japanese than later a USAAF vs the Japanese setup... Just a thought.

I agree, take out the USAAF planes besides maybe the Buffs if theres a use for them. Even getting just the birdcage would be great, -1A would be awesome and the others are just gravy.

Of course after the last war they had the Okinawa setup and every time I  upped a F4U i was promptly jumped by every plane in the sector  :O.

 :furious Take out the USAAF planes?  Hella NO!  You squids always get top billing in the PTO, so I think it's high time y'all took backseat and let the USAAF early ponies, P-38's, P-39's, and P-40's step up.    :mad:

Cripes guys, do a Indo China scenario where the Navy was very limited, but give us Lightnings a chance at the Japs!

Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here! I clearly said "take out the USAAF planes besides maybe the Buffs". See you can still have your 38's.  :D

The Ki-84 and Ki-61 can hang with all allied fighters.  I hate the Zero though.  I thought the USAAF planes were the most disadvantaged on the last Okinawa map, then again, the P51D was not available.  The USN planes seemed better matched to the Japenese planes.  This was just furballing though.

The A6M5 is my favorite Japanese ride.
We had a good run in the P-38 that setup even though it was our first week flying them.

I agree.  A scenario set in the SWP featuring USAAF vs. IJN/IJAF would be a good one.  Would be able to use USAAF planes like the P-39, P-40, P-38G and depending on the year J/L.  Then can have another scenario featuring USN vs. IJN/IJAF.

Though, until the early and mid war planesets are more fleshed out with IJN/IJAF aircraft, kind of limited on the planesets we can use for a proper IJN/IJAF vs. USN/USAAF scenario.

I enjoyed seeing Robert Shaw (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=11800;sa=showPosts) as the tactics expert in that episode.
