Plus this terrain has a default skin for it.

yeah she is better defended, but seems much more delicate when you consider her fondness for cooking the crew over an open flame.  Then again I fly the betty more often than I fly the Ju88 or the boston in the MA's and AvA.  Maybe I should talk to a professional about my masochistic tendancies.  :uhoh

Jimson - i normaly don't like the look of that particular Italian camo job, but it definately works for the G4M.
The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

I think it's pretty cool that the SEA terrain team includes these substitute skins.

The Rangoon terrain has a Japanese 110c skin to use as a sub for the Ki45 I believe, and a Tabby skin for the C47.

The Japan terrain even has a Nakajima Kikka skin for the Me262, although you would really have to stretch into "what if?" territory for that one.

Since these are built into the terrain you really can't tell what the map will be used for in the future. I think they're just hedging their bets with the 262s and off-beat substitutes. You can only send the map to HTC to be compiled so many times.

If I take my reading glasses off there's no squinting required.

There is a bug with the new version that doesn't allow any weapon load outs to be disabled.

For now, the I-16 has been removed and the 109E has been added.

I'll change it back when there is a patch to fix this.

I don't see the 109 being a G.50 standin either, or is the idea that you're ditching the G.50 and just giving something else from the axis force of the time for variety's sake?

Just for now, until a patch fixes it so we can put the I-16 back in without 20mms and rockets.

Hey Jim,

Nice work...

But the AVA has the P-40B active only. The setup states P-40E. Turning on both is historically accurate I believe.

RAF, RAAF, and SAAF squadrons had the Tomahawk IIB and Kittyhawk I in late 1941.

Commonwealth squadrons did not operate the Kittyhawk until early 1942.  I could find nothing about Kittyhawks being used in 1941 when I wrote this setup. If you have info on Kittyhawks in combat over Tobruk in November 1941 I will gladly change the setup.

Shifty,

I concede Sir, to my understanding the first action of the Kittyhawk I with commonwealth air forces was January 1st 1942 by No. 3 Squadron RAAF. They were deployed to the region in December but not in action until January.
