YES thats the plane i was thinking of! thank you for jogging my memory.

One word.
Why? :headscratch:

It is American and we don't have it?

i want the paint job made available on every U.S. plane in the game...the P-26 itself....meh.

So wait you want it because it's American and we don't have it or for some other reason?

Umm, I can't fly Japanese with out being paranoid, I told a Spitfire dweeb in my squad P-47 & P-40 were the best (I regret it, but it holds true). He flew the Zero and the Spitfire.
I can't fly P-51s, Spitfires, La-7s, N1Ks, C2s, Kis, Yaks, or Zeros. Seafire is an exception though, yes I know it's a version of a Spitfire.

You have some odd issues. I can't imagine what would make one paranoid by flying a Japanese aircraft.
That said, I don't think your weird issues are a good reason to add something with such low potential in all areas of AH.

It's Boeing and we don't have it.
Seriously, it would be a hangar queen, despite its coolness.

one of the first a/c that im gunna have to say NO to.
next to worthless and no real need for it.

Oh really? Why is the Storch being added then. The Storch looks like a hanger queen.

Fi156 actually has specific uses that cannot be filled by any other aircraft. P-26 does not.

The P-26 could be a decoy... :devil

I never asked fora storch but Ill fly the little rascal as I like spotting gvs, but you could do the same job in a d3a and tote a bomb.

D3A is not that good for spotting. Its a low wing aircraft and does not have a good view of the ground directly below :uhoh

to you, maybe. I will fly the heck out of the Storch

Throw an AAA unit out there and its really worthless, Storch might actually survive a few hits.

It certaintly will not be even if only one person flies it I think it will be extremely fun.

Why would you think the D3A would be more fragile than the Fi156?

Both are unarmored and slow, with practically no defensive armaments, given some aircraft in Aces High are way to easy to bring down / take punishment its curious to see how the Fi156 is modeled first, it could simply be another brewster.

Unarmored is only a small part of it. The P-47 is mostly unarmored. The robustness of the aircraft structure is also a factor and I'd bet on the D3A's structure being more robust. It has a lot more weight of metal in it and is built for carrier operations. While the D3A1 is slow, it is 130+mph faster than the Fi156.

Guessed wrong. The Peashooter saw extensive combat, however, the majority of combat took place in China during the Second Sino-Japanese War in the 1930s. It also saw extremely limited combat when the Japanese invaded the Philippines in 1941, mostly with the Philippine Army Air Corps with only 1 confirmed kill to its World War II record.

I'm a fan of over looked planes of the war but this plane web for me is a bit much!
-1 for fact it could lose a fight to the B5N
And Machfly why do you have the Da42 on you quote?

The P-47 is mostly unarmored.
Are you joking? The P-47 was one of the most if not the most rugged fighter in the conflict.
"The pilot is protected from enemy gun fire by face hardened 3/8" armor plate located in the forward and aft ends of the cockpit. The area above the front armor plate is protected by 1½" bullet resistant glass."
(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n83/Urbanflotsom1/armour.jpg)
in addition:
"Normal fuel load is carried in two self-sealing fuel tanks fitted with baffles to minimize surge; a main tank is installed between the wing hinge supporting bulkheads and an auxiliary tank is installed directly aft of the rear wing hinge supporting bulkhead."
The main tank being protected by the massive R-2800 radial... Your uninformed contrary answer for everything is getting really tiresome.
-
Event though it's an American plane and should be added for no other reason than that...lol
Ok...I'll stop.
But the 500+ mph multi cannon BnZ the ponies the best crowd isn't going to like it and will quickly deem it a hanger queen...just because of its armament.
If you can't overhaul a 262 in it or take out a whole formation of B-29's in one pass with it, then it deserves no place in our game.
LoL +1 for the P-26!!

No, I am not joking. Most of a P-47 is unarmored. Seriously. I did not pick the P-47 at random to make my point either. People think of the P-47 as a big, tough, armored fighter, so I picked it to make a point. The armor it has covers a few vital points leaving the vast majority of the aircraft completely unprotected, hence the P-47 is mostly unarmored. Even the Il-2 is mostly unarmored.
The entire tail, aft fuselage, wings and engine on the P-47 is unarmored. It obtains its durability in those areas through structural strength, mass of aluminum and a very tough engine, not armor. Hence my point that the D3A would likely be much tougher than the Fi156, as it likewise has more mass of aluminum than the Fi156. The lack of armor for the cockpit and fuel system on the D3A does not magically make the rest of it weak.
