Popped in, since the Ki84 (my preferred aircraft) is available in the current setup.  Enjoyed some good fights in the AvA this evening.  Wish I could have stayed longer.

Darn sneaky Japanese guys, couldn't you see I was looking at my map :furious :lol  Ruined my 5:1 :old: Made me look foolish there Nr_Raven, nice attack :aok

Was fun, some very intense fights.

Wish I would have taped that fight with SIK1, I had his plane all shot up, just couldn't get that killing blow.  The fight got slow and he managed to get it above me at the edge of a stall, I'm full flapped waiting like a cat to pounce as he falls in front of me, but he hangs there, and I eventually eak out in front of him, despite my efforts, as his nose falls, looking straight at me and he takes my vert stabilizer clean off :lol.  Great fight SIK1, I don't often lose 1v1, but you definitly earned that kill  :salute

I had a great time, lots of fun fights with some great sticks.  :joystick:
First time I've really flown the Ki-84, and I must say that it is an impressive bird. Much more rugged than I expected from a Japanese plane. :airplane:
BigRat it was a great fight and I'm still not sure how I managed to prevail.  :salute

BigRat I did film the fight and can send you a copy if you'd like.



Edgar I was leaving about the time you arrived. I only got in two or three sorties, but it would have been nice to get one in with you.

Had some fun in our Superforts tonight! Hit Tokyo killing much dispersed industry and a few civilians as well. Then we hit some airfields and vbases, but had rather poor bombing results though we did knock down some japs. We sadly lost one of our B-29s to a good ki84 pilot, (S! Jaeger) but claimed 4 fighters that were confirmed. A good trade financially for the nips I suppose.  :D We have been flying low to medium altitude missions due to prevailing weather conditions over the home islands and hope to up another sortie tomorrow night and Hit the Homeland!

S! from the 444th!

Some questions:

I believe someone here said that this scenario would be continued in october.

When it does, will Russian planes be added? since the Russians did join America in the fight against the Japanese.

And if they are, will the p39s be enabled to substitute the p63?


Idk why, but i really have the urge to fly the p39 in this scenario  :uhoh

It's looking more like November now, and will start working on the details for part 2 soon.
