THE WEEK IN RETROSPECT

Thanks to Jimson we have these results:

A6M5b      92
B-25C       5
B-25H       3
D3A1        3
F4U-1D     48
F6F-5       61
FM2         73
Ki-61        40
Ki-84-Ia    154
P-38L       43
P-47-D25  21

AXIS KILL TOTAL:  289

ALLIED KILL TOTAL:  254

Official individual pilot records were not obtained this week.  I apologize, but the process is quite involved if the same planes have been used in another setup during the month.

I, for one, am surprised at how well the Hellcat did compared to the Corsair.  The Frank remains the king of late war PAC fighters, IMHO.

In this setup, sure. Most of the fights here are going to devolve to low-alt turn and burn on the deck. That's where the Ki-84 shines, where it makes the most power and where using its flaps will have the best effect.

No surprise there IMO.

I'm just sad I couldn't get in there. Been too busy.

I was 351-9 in the hellcat and  5-1 in the corsair. Screened out the earlier hellcat vs the early zekes.
Maybe 5-1 in the tony (screening out the prior setup) and  16-3 in the frank.

I decided to make the f6f my ride in this set up because i've always had struggles with it (and the 38 -  ironically my two favorite rides in AW.)

I'm warming up to the F6F, especially in the appropriate setup as opposed to the MA.
