Yep, have to agree. Last night it did not take long for my squaddies to see the wonder that is the p47. There is no turning with them darn rice burners, so you might as well get a monster 8 barreled beast that goes real fast. That 47 is a good climber in comparison as well.

much fun last night.

I think the A6M2 and the F4F are matched pretty well. In the previous Burma terrain I did just about the same in both planes (tho it's hard to know for sure because some of the F4F numbers came in the Malta/Sicily setup). Fly to the individual plane's strengths and you'll do fine. Of course, in this setup, the A6M2 is a little bit more in trouble due to the P-47s speed and the Spit V's performance and Hispano action. Tho the Hurri IIc prolly is the premiere early Zeke shredder with the quad Hispano action.

When did this setup go live anyways? Was still Tunisia when I flew Friday night.

I have to agree with what kewassa said above .At first i was displeased that the p47 was here (the rest of the planes i got no problems with) but it does not take long to find an advantage or too lose it aginst any plane unfortunally it will cost lives to find this out thank goddness this is only a game and not R/L ( it only takes one mistake to lose a fight ) . I rarely flew Japanese planes till the CT got started and I joined a Japanese squad. I find them most enjoyable to fly out of all the countries represented here with the Russian set a close second .

I am sure its only a matter of time till the Japanese get some more choices to fly (hopefully not too long)

Any way I had alot of fun defending A8 frome the hordes of allied planes thrown at it last night as of 12:30 am we still held it
~~to all the brave fliers involved.~~

Man, I can't wait for an August 1945 setup.

Give us the Ki-84!!

Just want to throw my own big to all who flew this weekend, especially yesterday (Sunday). I flew mostly Japanes this weekend, the Ki61 specifically, and felt evenly matched or better against all the allied planes. Special thanks for the great team tactics provided by (to name a few I remember) Skatstr, Booyah, Oleg, and Cajun. I had some great fights, and finally found my gunnery-eyes again. to my opponents as well. "GK" and calls abounded, which made killing (and dying) all the more fun.

Oh yes the1945 Kurils Is. (even w/o the Ki84) set up is my favorite setup in the CT other than BOB leave out the USN planes(did not participate in this campange) it would be my No. 1 setup in here.

You CT CM's to a good job keep it up.

P40 is useless as long as the new zero behaves like it does. That leaves us the spit. yeck. Fun to fly, but makes me feel all icky inside.

I agree with most all of this. I think the P40 can do all right, though, if you restrain yourself when flying it. After flying the A6M2, and watching others fly it, I thought that when I checked out these boards today I would find everyone complaining that it is too uber.

I will do the Kuriles again , but after the next update I think, hopefully we will get some more planes, and I will lieave out the US CV's:), that I added the second time I ran it.

S!

Glad everyone liked the setup.

I would like to try an early '44 Rabual setup if we get a map.

That would likely see the F4U-1 added, and the Hurris and Spits deleted.
