P-63 KingCobra......again

[Arlo]

Simple ...It doesn't I think adding new countries to the game is priority over adding new "gap filler"

Was that understandable?

Not so much in English. Give it another go.

[Arlo]

Sorry.  That's on me.  I only flew the He111 once in the MA.

Several others have flown it, too. Some more than once.

I say I say it was a joke, son, a joke.   

I flew it once, found it to be terrible* and given I don't have any particular interest in it didn't fly it again.

*as defined by somebody who thinks the G4M1 isn't all that bad and has flown many sorties in the G4M1 in the MA.

In terms of Late war, who is going to turn in thier Lanc, 17, 24 etc for a Ju188 once the novelty wears off?  Wouldn't a Mossie run circles around it?

It still comes down to bang for the buck.  I'm not saying I'm against adding them.  I'm saying they are not more important than a 63 in the pecking order.

A fair number might, actually. It looks to be doing about 260mph on the deck with 6K of ord. A 217 would be even better (perhaps around 290, unless altitude has a simply staggering effect on the speed).

The Do 217M would actually be the hardest nonperk bomber to intercept up to around 30k or so.

One of the main reasons the lanc is taken (IMO) is that it is about 25mph faster on the deck compared to a B-24 or B-17.

[Ack-Ack]

It was soundly rejected based on the desires of people to fly the high performance planes.  

The main reasons why a rolling plane set isn't popular is that people don't like to be restricted in being able to select which planes they want to fly.  There is no reason to penalize the player base because you wish players would fly other planes that you feel should be flown.

You do know that the D.520 is considered a 'gap filler' because it fills in the gap of the early war that isn't very well represented in game.

What gap in the French plane set does it fill?

[Saxman]

What gap in the French plane set does it fill?

For starters the fact that there currently IS no French plane set. That's a bit of one already.

[Arlo]

The one you think will start a French plane set. Which makes your

the MA' viewpoint that you've suddenly developed 'for years' a might

Search is probably more your's. Been back awhile now, Meg. 

(Hint - just type in D.520 or something like that. Perhaps the word 'French.')

Saxman gave one example.

For starters the fact that there currently IS no French plane set. That's a bit of one already.

The other is that the early war plane set is sorely lacking in planes that took part in the during the Battle of the Low Countries and the Battle of France.

 Really? ... when we talk about "gap filler" we are talking about "Gaps" in the current plane sets we have, are we not?

Ar and Sax are right ... There is no French plane set and the D520 will start one... then we can start with the gap filling

Which will be fine by me


From a purely business perspective ....I would already have had the plane available along time ago and a few others.


I guess we will just see how things go....

Yep, the M.S. 406 and D.520 would both be good starts. Toss in the Hawk and between those three and the Hurricane I we already have you've got a fairly solid Allied fighter lineup for BoF. Just need a proper EW Allied bomber (the Wellington already suggested would be great).
