First post, and a good time to thank TD for thier amazing work. 4.09 was superb, while 4.10 will, I reckon, be a big milestone for the game- so take all the time you need fellas to deliver a classic. Also, congratulations on the license agreement, you guys justly deserve it and it should bring nothing but benefits to the whole community. Nice one.

The entire China, Burma, India Thertre of Operations is a very neglected "forgotten battle" that has an amazing wealth of plane types, terrain, and campaigns over the entire span of the Second World War, and actually many years prior.
Imagine Curtiss Hawk biplanes flying along side I-15s trying to intercept Japanese Fiat bombers escorted by Ki 27s, or A5Ms?
I drool over the idea.

Soon your dream will be (partially) realised! Theres no HawkIII as yet, but...
I'm knee deep in building an epic, historically accurate Sino-Japanese campaign for the stock game. It currently stands at 105 missions spanning the years 1937-Dec 1941, and will be split into 3 parts. Part one ('37-Dec '38)will be tested and released shortly after 4.10 is out ( like I said, take all the time u need TD..please!) and presently consists of 43 missions:
Fly I-16 Type 5s with the VVS volunteers in thier combat debut over Nanking, and thier desperate struggle over the doomed city
Fly ground attack sorties at the bitter Battle of Tai'erzhuang in the new I-15bis
Take part in the Gladiator's combat debut, and fight in a detailed Battle 4.29, the largest air battle of the conflict.
Attack shipping on the Yangzi river; fly escorts and point defence during the epic Battle of Wuhan
Support Chinese troops at thier crushing victory at Wanjialing
Each part will come with printable maps illustrating the various strategic situations and how the stock maps fit together/over the real geography, plus historical notes on the missions etc.
I'll be putting some screenies up soon on M4T.
p.s if anyone could help me out with an I-16 type 5 skin it'd save me alot of work....
