Speaking of which, I wonder when the 4 and Charlie Hogs are gonna get some FSO love. Both variants were involved during the time setting of the Okinawa FSO a couple months back....

I'd think the only times the F4U-1C and F4U-4 will see FSO action is the Okinawa setup, or perhaps a mainland Japan setup like Nef did a couple of years ago.

I believe a little research will find that the 201st and 341st Kokutai were in the Phillipines in Late 1944 with N1K1 "George" aircraft.  

Its not really a question of "were they in theater".  The N1K1 is different from what we have, and the Ki-84's firepower, if not top speed, is a better parallel to the N1K1.

Last Augusts FSO had N1KJs in it. I'll try to find the setup.

What does that have to do with this setup?
Just asking.

It was Battle of Leyte Gulf, Which was October 23-26 1944, which is 2 months before this setup.

Nef chose to include the N1K2 for balance purposes, not because it was historically present.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Will the old Terrain be compatible with the new version (I haven't downloaded the new version yet)
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I agree that the Messerschmitt Bf-110C-4/B is not a great standin for the Kawasaki Ki-45 KAIb. 

But it's the closest we've got.  At the moment.  For the time being.  >sigh<

Well, here's the choice gentlemen:  we either accept the 110-C as a sub for the Ki-45 or we get rid of it all together.  I myself usually hate sub aircraft, but the performance difference is slight, and it adds variety to an otherwise deficient planeset.

Get rid of it.
