if the F4U-1C belongs in any CT setting, it should be this one.    The CT staffers have to decide how badly it would effect play balance - maybe its just better off being used in an Okinawa scenario, where its numbers can be controlled.

After this past week's experience with the Spit 14, I'd bet that inclusion of the C-Hog would mean that, for the weekend, we'd have 2-1 odds (or worse) against the Japanese, with most allies flying the C-Hog and most axis flying the Niki.  

On the other hand, I did note that by the end of this week's setup, the lure of the Spit 14 had diminished (or all the MA people who wanted to fly a non-perked Spit 14 got bored and went home) and the odds were generally even.  Heck, I even got to fly allied on Wednesday night.  So, with that said, I guess it would be OK to try it.  It's only a week.

There is always one AC with an edge (albeit slight at times) and that's what all the dweebs fly.  Why make Okinawa any different?

Give them the C hog.  If it becomes silly and meaningless to fly with that in there, drop it after Wednesday.

I mean, we can always drop it if it ruins arena play right?  Give it a ride.

No C Hog's.

It would of been cool to skin the 190A5 say as a Ki44 , & the 110
as a Ki45 Dinah..and added them to this , regardless I like the setup & look forward to it .

this set up sucks. Its very one sided. If your not going to give us the C-hog, then give us the P51B model.....

One sided?  F4Us, Fm2s and Hellcats can't hang with Japanese planes?

I like the plane set...from both sides of the fence.

I held my own very well thank you in a p47 vs a ki-61 and a nik.

But my favorite of all is the ki-61

I think its a good setup. P-51s were not part of the invasion force, so they are not there. Every late war setup doesnt need Mustangs. CT is historical as it can be within reason. Fly a F4U-1D or a P-47D.

We should have the P51D and P51B, on the feilds. This is what frustrates me. You say you want to keep things fair and balanced. Yet they have the Niki. Weres are C-hog? This is going to be just like the last "pac" set up. This is about as fair and balanced as fox news. Count me out.

Cool, another disgruntled CNN hugger.  Kanttori, the checks in the mail bud!!!  

ALLIES QUIT WHINING!!!!!  YOU SOUND LIKE THE BUNCH OF SCHOOLGIRLS YOU REALLY ARE.  

Let the flaming commence...

[ergRTC]

Yeah ... the HUGE amount of allied whining in this thread is most deafening.

(shakes head) *chuckle*

Wasn't talking about ONLY the BBS, was also referencing what I have seen on the TB in the CT the last couple of days.

yeah, if you can get your hands on the Hellcat.  When I flew, only the F4U-1 was near the area of action.  They can have a good handle on things, but only if you have the E advantage and kill the N1K2's fast.  The 1 Hog vs the Ki-61 was a fun fight, though.  Against the N1K2, it was insane.  That thing accelerates very well.  I literally had one flying circles around me.  LOL.

[Soulyss]

P-51's please... the Hellcat can handle anything the japanese can throw at it. Period.
