Guys how are you viewing this current set-up? My opinion, it's one of the best PTO's we've had. The F6F, FM2, vs the KI-61, A6M, seems to be a damn good matchup in my opinion. Both sides seem to be doing pretty well, so far it's seems like a good boxing match. The strong powerful puncher, F6, FM2, against the quick agile boxer, Ki-61 A6M. It will be interesting to see how Tuesday night plays out with the two Navy Squads in their Blue planes, against the 27th Sentai, helped out by the 325thFG.

I know people can still park fleets off a base and cause havoc, but I havent seen it on this setup yet. This has been a pretty enjoyable setup for me so far.

Agreed.

We'll have as many as we can muster tomorrow night.   Looking forward to it!

Truly agreed Lowe.  I really had a ball last night although was only able to play for about an hour.  The balance is good and there is a nice mix of ACM opportunities both upstairs and down on the deck.

Sounds like the Navy boys will be plentiful.  If our twins aren't too fussy I'll try and hook up with you IJN folks to balance things out.  If they are fussy I'll be the one who needs backup...

Rats!  I'd love to be in there tonight, but I've got a burn on my joystick hand that makes it just too painful to play.  Shot a few down for me.

What, you can only play with one hand?  Use your mouse then.  Geez.  Kids today.

Agreed that this is a good match.  Hellcat is starting to grow on me, but it's hard to find a plane that's more fun to fly than the A6M5.

Yep, mighty good setup.  I love the perma base down/carrier dead.  Really adds to it.  This one is a keeper.

Just looked at the stats, f6f has a couple plane lead on all ijn/ijaaf planes, fm2 is barely leading on zeros, but the ki has the lead on the fm2.  Seems closer than it was historically.

Any setup which has neither Spits nor Nikis is a good one.

Holy cow, you had some luck in the niki?  You must be really good! ;)

The nikis real power is in its armor.  f6fs do okay against it in a fight, but the strength of that airframe turns 50s into 303s.

oh, and those four cannons hurt a little more than the 12.7s....

It's great fun but when I spin and auger in too many people stare and make cat calls.  It's damaging my self esteem to the point that I've started to pull at my hair, talk to myself, and bite my fingertips again.  I don't have many friends anyway except all you guys who I feel so close to so this is really starting to bother me but if it is ok with everyone I might come out again.  If I can drag myself away from the Beverly HIllbillies, they have a back to back time slot you know . . . .
