Looks like a great plane set.  Will be fun to be on either side.

The P-51B is somewhat out of place....it had barely arrived in England by the end of 1943, let alone Italy.  In fact Merlin Mustangs weren't available in quantity in the MED theatre until late spring 1944.  The Axis already have to deal with the Spit 9; having the 51B there as well might be too much of a 1-2 punch.

I'd replace it with the P-38; yes it's a P-38L but it's still more similar to the P-38H than the P-51B is to the A-36.

In my above post I made a typo...it should read "by the end of 1943", not 1944.

It made little sense in its incorrect form.  I will edit it.

Well it is a Hypathotical set up, and the P51B was in England in late 43, and we have it facing the same planes it would of faced had this been a Chanel set up, so in keeping with the Hypathotical (fantisy) set up , it is withen reasion.

S!

 Flew a quickie there last night. Great map. Fun to see that Sissyfire pilots try to spray from 1k with their Hizookas ;) Those CV's sitting on the shore as ack-umbrellas is pretty lame though.
