Title: P39's Available off of Carriers on All Maps
Post by: grizz441 on May 07, 2009, 02:57:07 PM
Title explains itself but in a nutshell, I think it would be a positive improvement for the game.  The P39's are fun planes to fly, yet with their low endurance, they aren't exactly practical in land battles.  Off of a carrier however, it is a very short distance to battle and the plane suddenly becomes a tantalizing choice from the hangar.  Enabling the plane off carriers on all maps would allow the plane to be flown more often and since it is relatively a very new plane to the game, I think it would be a nice treat being able to get more use out of it.  I also don't think it would throw off any balances either since the F4U is always the superior aircraft off a carrier.  Just something to mix it up a little bit.

Here are stats from last tour to show how little it gets used.  (P51D's average around 35-40k kills per tour to put things in perspective)

what exactly gives you the idea that P39's EVER operated off of carriers?

I'm not a world war ii buff, but I'm assuming they had some involvement since one of the smaller maps does allow them to take off from carriers.
