I could be totally wrong, but didn't the last setup with a German carrier use 109F's as a fill in for 109T's?

I was under the impression that the F model was the nearest relative to the T.

I just flew on the AvA today after a long time since i stopped playing the game.
Ranger, this is one amazing map, I can feel the cold.
I met "Oldman" he is one amazing man and we had some fun fights since there were only both of us on the arena, great fights, I hope it gets a lot of people on sometime! this arena rocks. I just REALLY like winter maps  :P

Would you guys think it is usefull for the arena if I post films so you can take your screenies and use them as propaganda to atrack players? should we have a sticky thread for that? :D

First time ive played in a couple weeks and loved the map. Excellent job Ranger. I wanted to post a few screen shots but my viewer wasn't showing the terrain for whatever reason. Posting them anyway they just don't do it justice...

had a blast donating plane parts yesterday against Carver and Melvin, the terrain rocks but hard on the eyes after a while I kept forgetting which was up and down during fights and lost my bearing's. I may be in tonight again
