I like the Beaufighter too but I have to draw the line somewhere to keep it to 10 choices.  It's certainly worthy of being on the list but it would be a very extreme long shot to win.

Looking at this purely from the perspective of which airplane would actually get serious use in the arena, I'd have to vote for:

B-25
Yak-3
A-26

All the other planes are cool and all, and have their various appeal, but would anybody (except for the few who love each plane) ever fly them in the arena?

Actually, I'd vote for the Yak-3 (as it would be easier to modify the Yak-9 rather than start from scratch) AND one of the medium buffs.  To choose between the 25 and 26 is tough, but I'd go with the later versions of the 26 as a perk buff - if only to give something to spend buff perks on.

The Do-335 would definitely get my vote though.

I'm thinking of scenarios...

Eastern Front
BOB
D-Day
European Strat. Bombing
North Africa
Pearl Harbour
PTO
etc.

I think it might be a good idea to target one or more of these to build a decent (even if incomplete) plane set - i.e. He-111 is a must for BOB. Eastern Front is pretty sparse though - how many Finns/Russians would like that filled out a bit?

Question - do we have everything for Pearl Harbour already?

Bahh go for the most bang for the $.

Most theaters of operation.
Fills more than one plane set hole.

Choice is obvious P-39.

Ok, lets try this deal,  all you P-39 and A-26 guys vote for the Brewster this round.  The Finns get something they've wanted for forever.  Then the next round we all vote for the P-39, then 3rd round we all vote for the A-26.

P 39 sucks! It had the engine in the wrong part of the aircraft!!! And that cannon is lousy, you'd not hit anything!!! Vote for the buff hunter, it'll be a pleasure to hit bombers with all that firepower and run away thanks to his great high altitude performance!

Vote for the G.55!!!

I would have to agree with Pyro's assessments...........


The P39 does fill holes in plane sets in theatres all over the world.........
It should definately have the VVS load out as default........... however it will not attract wide use in the MA......

Like wise the Pe2 fills the VVS dive bomber gap left between the Il2m3 and lendlease A20's and Bostons.

The Yak3 is the single major fighter plane missing that will see significant MA use..... its a low alt, highly manouverable (think SpitV) ac with great acceleration requiring good marksman ship. It would be the ride of the furballing experten VVS pilit.

But having said all that my heart says that the Finns should get their Brewster............

IMO (if my vote were to count for any thing) the AH Finns have earned this ride many times over and  to hell with any logic v s v how good a decision such a choice would be re one arena or another.
