How about throwing in the KI-61 TONY? Give a good middle range fighter between the ZEKE & FRANK.

No bombers? Even the Medium's?

Good planest. Flew the CT first time in awhile. Jumped in to help in a 2 on 1 and clear a guy. Got HO'd. Got HO'd 2 more times and finally rammed. Kind of expected better in the CT and of course when I said "what's with the Hoin" I got nothing but grief from the 2 F6's. Apparently that was the norm all day and the F6 guys just assumed they would be HO'd in turn. Not the fights I had hoped for.:(

F4U-D is available on the CV.....when we have it.  Any chance to get some enabled at rear bases?  I will fly the distance!

Duke,

Whats up with the allied CVs?  Are we supose to have AC from them?  One minute there is two Cvs with the F4U-1D, then no CV then next there are two CVs with no AC.


IJN has two CVs with AC.

I dont really care if they are there or not, just needs to be the same for both sides.

Could be the IJN sunk them  :cry:

Regards

Were Ki-84s even used on the solomon islands? I can understand using a ki-61 but the ki-84 seems a little too late war for this setup.
Also why no P38s?

The set up is geared more towards a plane match up than a historically accurate one. The only thing out of place in my opinion is the F4U-1 as far as time frame for the fighters. I would have used the 1D but its Dukes set up and the -1 kicks bellybutton in the right hands.( not mine)

I agree with Slash. The F4U-1 kicks butt.

It should be dominating this arena in my opinion. Not sure why its not getting the exposure it deserves.

I would like to see the KI-61 added though, it's always a fun ride and opponent.

Cheers,

The F4U-1 is fine, but there is no reason NOT to include the D.

F4u-1 is fine when it has space to manouver (a 5k co alt fight would be fine) but today I joined and ki84s were pretty much vulching. When I upped a f4u1 the fight would end up on the deck, full flaps. Ki-84 has a big advantage over the f4u-1 at those low E states, it can nose up and f4u cant follow. Allies don't have anything that can match it in a fair fight.
Japanese have 3 fighters where there are only 2 US fighters. Maybe add FM2?
