Mustang Mk I

[321BAR]

Most B-29s were post-war. Definitely less than 2000 were war-time, but what number I can't recall. About half of those produced were after JV-day, and production ceased late in 1946.

PLEASE........      it VJ day

The "it didn't do much in WW2" criterion eh?

I have no problem with it being added, I just think that it should be a low priority as compared to aircraft that played a much larger role which are also missing from the game.

I move for a new rule that all rebuttals to future requests for B-29s/Nooks/P-51Hs/F7Fs/F8Fs/Do335s/Horton flying wings/Ta-183s/submarines/etc *must* be in rhyming form. Anyone second?

OK then, those who say the 51 with 4 cannon is a must, should know their argument is a bust, that shouldn't be seen again til it's covered with rust and even then add a fine layer of dust.

So there!

Of the cannonarm'd 51
requestors shall be shunned
Of small numbers used,
only HOers be bemused,
Can't even climb, turn or run!

Yes, your bias.

Trust me on this, if the P-51D were not in the game I'd be demanding it be added ASAP and I am sure Dan would as well.  Don't interpret our disinclination towards an aircraft that played almost no role in WWII as a bias against the Mustang.

I believe our allies would disagree with you. After the introduction of the Mk IA the earlier Mk Is were converted to IAs (in that the Hispanos were mounted) and these aircraft were used throughout the war as interdiction types. Just because you dont see books or movies about an airplane doesnt mean it 'played almost no role in WWII.' The British found these planes to be vital to the war effort. Sorry about your bias (aka ignorance).

Neither the Mustang Mk I or the Mk IA were considered by the RAF as 'vital' to the war effort and was considered fo rtrhe most part by the RAF as a minor player in the RAF' war effort.  While the RAF thought the Mk I and IA were effective in the ground interdiction role, the RAF declared it unsuited for fighter duties and felt the Mosquito and later the Typhoon and Tempest to be better suited in the ground interdiction role.

BTW- We're still waiting on the stuff about the Iwo birds... I take it since it's been this long and still nothing that you've thrown in the towel and finally realized that Dan was right about the Iwo Mustangs?  Does crow taste like chicken?

Yes. The Australian called Bronk that flew Bish at some point back  in time? That is why.
