i would have personally put this in the wishlist, its more of a wish for early war rides than a general discussion how we need more, no?
-
It all depends on whether special events are a main part of AH for you or not. For those of us who play special events regularly (like the upcoming Battle of Britain scenario, coming up in October or November -- http://ahevents.org/pacific-theatre/current-or-next-scenario-2.html ), aircraft like the He 111 make a very large difference and are very much sought after.
The Main Arena is very fun, but to some folks, it's more like the practice area for special events, not the final destination.

I would love to see Combat Tour displace MA :aok
-
I like the MA a great deal. I don't mean to imply that I don't, and I don't at all want to see it displaced. For special events, the MA is excellent as it provides a place to fly whatever plane you want practice in and to keep your skills sharp. You can jump in whenever you want, and it's an enormous amount of fun. I think a lot of people will continue to fly in the Main Arena regardless of (and to some extent in addition to) whatever other modes of play are available.

Want I-16.
(As long as it has a cannon or two.)

The cannon variant (2x ShVAKs, 300 rounds) makes I-16 the most heavily armed single-engine fighter of the early war.

Might be pulling hairs here, but is an aircraft introduced in 1941/42 aircraft really 'early' war?
It say its more mid war. I suppose you could call it an early Pacific war aircraft.

Which aircraft are you talking about?

Generally 1941 and before is considered Early War, 1942 and 1943 is Mid War and 1944 to the end is Late War.
You might extend Early War a bit into 1942, maybe to May.

How I view the timeframe...
mid 1940 - early 1942 = Early war
mid 1942 - late 1943 = Mid war
Early 1944 - late 1945 = Late War

Then what do you consider 1939? :P
Remember, the war didn't start with the Battle of France or the Battle of Britain.

If we ever get those things in-game, I imagine I'll be hooked into AH, playing "Flight of the Valkyries" on a kazoo.

did the hayabusa have anymore armemant than that single gun?
it looked like a nice fun nimble plane

From memory, so might be a bit off:
Ki-43-1a = two 7.7mm guns
Ki-43-Ib = one 7.7mm and one 12.7mm gun
Ki-43-II = two 12.7mm guns
Ki-43-IIIb (think) = two Ho-5 20mm cannons
EDIT:
The 12.7mm guns would be the same as on the Ki-84 and Ki-61. As they would be firing through the prop they would handle the same as the 12.7s on the Ki-84. I've downed quite a few aircraft with them, but if you want to see what they can to take a Frank up and only use the machine guns.

"Thank you I-16 guy".
Seriously, that was some serious stick stirring at the beginning of that clip.
Thanks for the links. We really do need the I-16.
