So the pacific was not a combat zone gyrene? man tell that to the guys in the pacific during WW2.

if you're talking about vmf-533, they didn't get the planes until the day before the japanese surrender, they didn't get to fly a single mission in them. neither did vmf-531 which was the squadron tasked with ferrying them from guam to okinawa. if you can find verifiable resources with squadron numbers to confirm that a small number of f7f-3p's were deployed in combat sorties beginning in may-june of 1945, i'll concede the case to your incessant nagging about it.

It dosnt matter if they were in combat or not. HiTech would like it if they were in service. and the fact of the matter is they were in service during WW2. and by any definition of the term combat zone, regardless if they fired a shot or not. those squadrons were in a combat zone. that is what a theater of war is a combat zone. now for the Do 335 that i will agree never was in service because it never left prototype stage. however the F7F did leave prototype stage and did enter service during the second world war. i dont believe an aircraft that did not do any fighting but did enter service should be left out of consideration for addition to Aces High.

if the qualification is "in service" means simply being assigned to "active combat squadrons" then no argument from me, there are other planes that would fit that description as well. but if "in service" means had to be in combat zone...you need to check again. by the time the f7fs were deployed the "combat zone" was mainland japan.

I think an aircraft should be added if they had a role in the war, 7F7 and F8F did not. If the game was Occupation of Japan High they'ed be first on my list.

All I hear is "but I want it..."

AH is already spead over a too wide time priod from 1939 to the last day of wwii. It is already full of planes that appears in the last weeks of the war and had zero impact even if they did see action. No need to extend it to post war, then Korea in one game. This is just too much.

That is a rather long-winded contradiction but it ended well anyways.
