New Terrain in the AVA--guadalcanal

[Wildcat1]

as long as the cat has some room to get the nose down, and use some vertical, it can hold its own against a zeek a little better then most think.

 that being said, i still die in em.

if you have room to get the Wildcat above 375 mph, you will outturn the zeke every time. the zeke has terrible issues with roll rate at that speed, and it creeks in a hi-G turn. the Wildcat does not have those issues, and as long as you can manuver into an advantageous position before you bleed off all your E, then you should be able to kill the zeke.

THAT'S what i was doing wrong!!!!!

i was trying to keep the turn speed around 250-275mph    $^%$##$%$%

should have been the only large caliber option available...the 37mm was supposed to be disabled in the hangar...not historically accurate for the period

The Army had both P39s and P400s at Guadalcanal in the fall of 1942.  Both armament packages are accurate.
