Guys.. the f4f-3 was flying in august of '40 It was fixed wing, light and very fast on the deck and had good climb (around 3400fpm) it was a better plane than the -4 except for lack of armour and self sealing tanks (they were retrofitted in 41)
urchin, I love early and mid war planes myself and yawn at most late war "fights" but... I don't think that all that many like early war sooo.. have early war only a day or four (it can be adjusted) in the begginng of the tour. The bulk of the people like mid war... it has the best selection of planes with parity and variety.. make it the bulk of the tour.. 90% o9r so... let the jets and other freaks fly a day or so at the end.
It just appears that HTc is painting themselves in a corner here by adding later and later and faster and faster planes.

Good ideas lazs. I really would enjoy early war rides against other early rides. However, I like flying a variety of planes so limiting the early war only set to a few days appeals to me as I can still be a Spit dweeb after a few days, tho if you gave me a Spit I, I'd fly it in the early war set.
Like I said before, I'd really enjoy seeing the early war planes get modelled so we can use them in the Snapshots and Chk 6! events (yeah, I know this doesn't appeal to you that much lazs, but hey, you might enjoy a Midway scenario with F4Fs and early Zekes!)
