Seems to be a lot of "sabotaging" or "bashing" going on by a few folks, that want to get their vote to win at the expense of everybody else.

Just keep the thread on-track and we can avoid that unpleasant aspect.

I voted Yak-3 and will keep voting Yak-3 until it gets eliminated by the AMerikun hordes.

Good work... as long as you don't waste your vote on the G.55!

I would say that you are the one dancing around bashing people. You have gone on to tell others that there choices have bad reasoning, called me ignorant, told others they are bashing when it is you doing it.

"Expense of everybody else" is a bit of a large assumption. I guess we will find out who the "everybody else" is when the voting gets done.

My bet is that it is a Japanese fighter, or an allied bomber that will get the nod. But then again, that will not be "everybody else" because it does not agree with your all encompassing vision of how the world is, now does it....

I called you ignorant for sayng the G.55 wasn't important. In such a sweeping ruling, we know you only want AMERICA PLANEZ!@11!!, as your friend Ball has posted.

So, now, the only planes this game can ever have are the ones produced by the largest, most industrial nations on the planet? Then we have to remove half the planeset, we never get the Italian, the Romanian, the Finnish, or hell even the Japanese aircraft! It's not like these were industrially rich nations, right?

In Italy alone, the entire air force of the whole war was less than what the US made in 1 day. Still, it was a major front, and they put up major resistance as best they could, until the surrender, and then beyond the surrender.

My comments in the Pe-2 thread were specific to the Pe-2. I never said his choice was bad. In fact quite the contrary. I said his arguments were poor.

EDIT: I have always supported the Pe-2, and have requested it myself many times.

P.S. I wasn't thinking only of you, by the way, when I made that last reply. Go ahead and bash the other planes in your threads if you like. Nobody will stop you. It's the sabotage (not you) that is disruptive.

If I can bend your ears for a minute...

I went in for a little bit and voted, and while I was there, someone asked me what scenario's/snapshots we could use the G.55 for.

I told him I was'nt sure, I'd ask y'all on the boards.

EDIT: I can kick back for a little while for the reply, I've already voted for my pick.

Uh gee, for the opening of the CT that would be nada...

Anything involving bombers over Italy after '43. If it's got a C205 in it, it would have the G.55 as well. Consider that the AvA for the past week was running an Italy map with C205s vs USAF fighters.

Anything near northern Italy as well, if you staged a bomber run to the Southern tip of Germany, you could see G.55s as well.

It could have a supporting role in a number of scenarios, like the C.202 does now. For a starring role, it would be more limited to Italian maps. However, there are plenty of opportunities for that as well, and we have a very nice map of Italy, also.

P.S. last FSO revolved around late-war planes in Italy. The G.55 would have been MOST welcome to us axis pilots struggling at high-alt for 3 weeks straight.

That is incorrect. The US never built 2500 aircraft a day.

Krusty · « **Reply #189 on:** March 28, 2007, 04:07:34 PM »

I wonder. How many different plants were there in late '43? GM, Ford, Grumman, Boeing.... And so on and so forth.

Bodhi · « **Reply #190 on:** March 28, 2007, 04:15:00 PM »

If you want to dive into the production books you are more than welcome... Flat out, we never produced that many aircraft in a day.

Ball · « **Reply #191 on:** March 28, 2007, 04:18:48 PM »

IIRC (which i probably don't) the highest American prouduction of aircraft in a single year during the war was something in the order of 93,000 (in 44, i think but am again probably wrong).

Bodhi · « **Reply #192 on:** March 28, 2007, 04:28:47 PM »

That is pretty close Furbie... I don't have the books in front of me, or I might consider sitting down and actually looking.

1 vote for the G.55 here.

It was 1 month, about, Bodhi. Krusty misreported what I wrote somewhere in these thread... during the 1940-1943, the italian aircraft industries built about 10000 planes, which is roughly what the US could produce in about 1 month.

Shamus, thanks for the support. I believe more people than I thought voted for the 55... maybe we can make it to next week!
