Proposed AVA Setup

[Shifty]

I'd like to propose the following setup. It's based LOOSELY on the operations in Burma in the winter/spring of 1944 using aircraft we have available in AHII.


Clash of Empires 1944 Burma.

Japan's last major offensive in mainland Asia. Imperial Japanese Army units thrust towards Assam in the Northwest. While Imperial Japanese Army Air Force pilots attacked airfields being used to fly missions across the hump. One attack against a British airbase code named "Broadway", the base was destroyed along with most of the RAF fighters based there.

By June 1944 with the town of Imphal close to surrender, elements of the 14th Army managed to break through the Japanese perimeter forcing a withdrawl of the Japanese units. Within days of the begining of the withdrawl, RAF Mosquito, Hurricane, Spitfire, and Thunderbolt units began a year long operation to destroy Japanese army units in Burma.


Map- China or CM's Choice.

NO!:D

[Shifty]

Hmmm.....

Larry you may say NO, but it looks like your little chad is hanging, so I'll mark you as a yes.

[soda72]

Your timing is good..

We are currently planning out the next four months....


But I think the ki84 would be a little too much, considering what is in the allied plane line up..

ki84 vs spit5 vs p47d40 vs ki61

[Shifty]

Spit-9 may well be a better and more historical aircraft for the setup, than the SpitV. The Ki-84 may well look uber on paper, but will have to contend with woobiecanes .

Being this is a proposal, I leave it to the players, and staff if interested in flying it to propose additions or subtractions. I do seriously take in to account Larrys vote of no. If the majority of guys don't want to fly it, don't use it.

Thanks.

Wernt the VIIIs used in the PTO?

Mmmm...Mossie!

[daddog]

Nice.

[Dichotomy]

Unfortunately I'm going to be AFK for at least another week.  We have stuff that I need to do around the household that are marginally more important than pushing a cartoon airplane around the skies.  Hopefully by next Monday I can log on and knock two weeks of rust off.

I'll check in to watch any purse fights though all

I believe this thread says that the Spit VIII should be available in your proposed set up.  That would probably compare more favorably to the KI-84.

I say leave it as it is and replace the spitV with a VIII or IX (whichever it is since i dont know the difference between the two ,nor do I care )

What about the Seafire Shifty?

I don't think spitfires had manual transmissions the silly limeys couldn't handle so much of a workload such as clutches and shifties.  I think all spitfires were automatic.  I could be wrong, ask platano he knows all about spitfires.

The spit 5 and the KI84 are a good match. They have alot of the same characteristics.
