A5s' and SpitIXs' were in the air at the same time.

A5s' and SpitIXs' were in the air at the same time.

But not in the summer of 41

[Hajo]

But not in the summer of 41

Exactly. That was my reply to using A5s against SpitVs. A5s vs SpitIXs which were developed to combat the A2s and A4s.  If you're using 190A5s you match with SpitIX in that time period.

[Joker312]

So many good ones to choose from. I should give it more thought but a hasty decision would be a Pacific theme. Would really like to see it based on the early combat around Port Moresby before the battle of Coral Sea. P40's, P39's, F3F's, A20's, B26's Vs A6m2, A6m3, Oscars, Betty's, Val's, Kate's. If we had Helen's and Lily's would be an even better setup.

Summer '41 another good one and Artiks early Korean War "what if" is interesting.

Cant wait to see what you decide.

[Wildcat1]

I was a huge fan of The Final Battle in 2010. ETO naval combat, though hypothetical, was a very interesting, and I thought very balanced event.

But, any excuse to get me in a Hog or a Wildcat will be very well received by me

Channel Dash. Give HTC some motivation to include this now that AHIII is finished:-

Because we have had German planes in the last five scenarios, I'm hoping for one with Japanese planes for a change of pace.

Of course, there are also wacky setups folks could pick -- hypothetical late-war battle between US and Soviets.

The Last Bomb

USAAF: P-51D, P-47N, P-38L, B-29

IJN/IJA: KI61, KI84, N1k2J, A6M5b, BF110C-4b, ME163

[LCADolby]

I don't think we should do The Battle of Britain.
I think we should go later into the war like 1943 have a large air war of raiding bombers, escorts and fighters into northern France and Germany. While the Luftwaffe fight back bombing cities and infrastructures. I think that might be a cool scenario to play out

[GScholz]

I would really like something Pacific, but the relative superiority of Allied aircraft after 1942 in that theater tend to make those scenarios one-sided. I would love to blast through a formation of Zekes in a P-38, but where can we find people willing to fly the Zekes...

So your dependence on flying in a scenario requires you to have a perceived better aircraft?  Most of us fly either allied or axis and I'm sure more register if they can get the ride they want with a favorable plane set.

To me I usually fly allied and I take what I can get.  Thus the 38G in the last scenario.  I guess some people always have to have an advantage to have fun <shrugz>

[GScholz]

I guess I didn't make myself clear... I meant the the relative difference in performance in the Pacific theater is a problem. I typically fly Axis because they need the people, because most want to fly Allied.
