After looking at the specs I wonder who will fly Allied 

[Krusty]

3 different types of spits that are highly competitive? Question is who's gonna fly axis?

Replace the Hurri2c with the Mk1 and I'm in.

I look forward to all your 190 kills in the Mark V

I like the looks of both plane sets in this one.  Most are going to be early war fighters and there should be some great Spit V vs 109F-4 duels.  I see it pretty even.

It pains me to agree with Krusty, but he has abit of a point. Albeit, he never seems to complain when the inequity runs the other way, I.E, AHII P-51Ds and P-47Ds with 1944 performance up against large numbers of K4s with last-five-minutes-of-1945 performance).

I have no idea which side I will fly this go-round, but I think the Axis deserves more than 16 G2s at the very least, to balance the Allies 24xSpitIXs and 16xTyphoons. At least they have been giving copious 190s, albeit SpitIXs and Typhoons will blunt the advantage of having them by quite abit.

[BnZs]

Okay, I just looked up some DokGonzo numbers. The SpitIX pretty much owns in terms of performance against all 3 available Kraut rides above 20K. The Typhoon is ridiculously fast down low compared to anything the Krauts have, is double superior to the Fw-190A5 in what would otherwise be the Fw's best operating alts for this FSO, and is armed with quad Hispanos to boot.

My suggestion on mods to the numbers:
16 SpitIXs

16 Typhoons

and

32 109G2s.


I would also strongly consider limiting the HurricaneIIc numbers some, don't under-rate a plane that turns on a dime and has four Hispanos. 

EDIT: Thought about it, changed my mind abit on the numbers. Reducing the SpitIXs to 16 seems abit much of a swing in the other way.

How about...

24 SpitIX

64 HurricaneIIC

and

24 109G2?

I appreciate all the feedback and discussion.

The numbers were arrived at after several lengthy discussions with most of the senior CM's. They are a compromise between historical accuracy and playability.

The results of frame 1 will be reviewed by myself, and several other CM's, to see if changes need to be made to ensure playability and fun for everyone.

Thanks again for the input, and I look forward to seeing everyone at the first frame.

BnZs, if the 109K4 (November of 1944, FYI) outclassed the P-51s and P-47s I'd mention it. However, having been on the receiving end SO MANY times I've learned it is ... frankly.. owned by the allied rides in squad v squad engagements.

It can barely struggle to get to 30K, and when it does, is instantly bounced by 2x as many P38s, P47D40s, P51Ds, at 35-40K doing 2x or 3x its maximum speed, and in any case where the 109K4 is bounced by an allied plane in superior position (almost always) it has nowhere to go but down.

Guess what? The allied planes excel downhill.

I point out the inequality when it's there.

Hey HTC, any chance of rotating the Spit V skins before next week?  This one's already accepted and would fit the FSO nicely... <cough> Shameless plug <cough>...
