Bearcat, Sea fury, and LA-9

[WMDnow]

These would be a great perked addition to the game.  Finaly, something to kill those LA-7s

It says page cannot be found.

I mean the Sea Fury that flies at about 500mph.

I thought this is a WWII sim?

BTW, I don't need any additional planes just to kill La7s... the current planeset is sufficient for that

All were made in WWII, I don't think widely used.  It would be nice to have it about 100 perks or so.  It would be fun to have these, it's just an idea.

Bearcat and Sea Furý did not see combat at all.

Ever hear the story of the lady that swallowed a fly?

Bearcat was on duty on the USS Langley otw to the front @ wars end.

it is a WW2 production airplane, in squad service. it should be in AH
eventually, although a high perk.

On the way to the front, but I don't think it saw any combat.  At all.

I don't think a plane without any combat history at all should be added. Maybe one day if we have all models that really took part in the war...

P-63 has more right to be in AH than the bearcat.

As it actually shot enemy AC down.

You could argue for the F8F-1 (deployed in combat squadrons, but didn't actually see combat), but the other two don't even come close.

The first production Sea Fury didn't fly until September 7, 1946. Likewise, the La-9 is purely post war. The prototype first flew on June 16, 1946 and production planes began delivery in February of 1947.

To me the F7F is the only one that clearly makes the cut. It is actually a true 1944 plane that entered operational service over a year before the war ended. It did not see combat service however. This is really the underlying question..is a plane that was operational but withheld from service not "qualified".
