3-44 probably comes from Batz, the dates are only crystal clear if its a Spitfire he's concerned about.


The 3.44 wasn't from me. I may have re-posted that number but IIRC it was a cut-n-paste re-post from a thread on Service Introduction Dates started by Funked over 2 years ago.

I resurrected the thread for review.

Here's the thread

The data was complied from the original thread by Karnak

Fair enough.

Im all for the ac being in setups when they are supposed to be, and I will repeat a setup I would like to see:

Channel Front 1941

Spit V
Hurricane II

109F-4
190A-5

We should be doing them all, and let the "b" word be damned. Some setups its the 109G-6 vs P-47s, sometimes 109G-10s vs P-51Ds, sometimes 109F-4s vs P-40Es. Let the chips fall where they may and everybody takes their lumps, ETO, PTO, axis and allied.

I say give the Axis Ju52's at rear bases, but otherwise leave the setup alone. The G10 is not the Uber plane it would seem on paper, heck even the P-47 out turns the G10. I like the set as is.

No Storch, they were left out because German airlift at this time was nonexistant in combat zones, not everything done that you dont like is "just to spoil JG3's party". I dont care either way, Axis could have them anywhere they wanted and it wouldnt bother me but Soulyss had good historical reason to do what he did.

How about they give you the Ju52 in exchange for the G10? No? I didnt think so.

This is a classic matchup.  I find I'm enjoying this week's CT setup as much as last week's.  The CT staff has definitely found near-ideal gameplay setups that strike a fine balance between historical realism and good old fun.

The 109G/190A vs. P-51/P-47/P-38 matchup is fun, varied, and interesting.  I wouldn't change a thing about it.
