Guess the aircraft - Friday Update 01/07/11

[hiro]

wish it was I-16 . . . they need an aircraft that will get me kicked* from late war campaigns because the host server ninja forgot to exclude it on the plane list / or figured no one would really want to use it.



*chaika is another one, it was just funny, I couldn't shoot people down but they certainly couldn't hit me either so it was just funny to drive all over the map.

Thanks for the link Dano.



I guess it is the same as choosing to make the G.50 flyable in BoB, when it didn't even take part in the actual battle. Poor planning again. I do wish they would try to focus more.

Scurries off..

Not so much if it's got the new CEM to do it justice: you need to use 5-6 separate controls every time you want to change your power settings

Looks like an La5 to me also. Wingroots are too small for 190 (if that's what they are )

S!

I think it could still be a 190 if these are not wing roots but the little teardrop shaped fairings on the side of the BMW's cowling. Well, at least that's what i'd want it to be, despite Luthier's confirmation post

So it`s a Lavochkin La-5. Good news. Means there also will be a 109Gustav > : )

I they are planning the battle of Stalingrad after Moscow, we won't be seeing the FW-190 as there were none at Stalingrad.... (first 190 in September '42 with I/JG51 over Leningrad front, then with the rest of JG51 and JG 54 over Northern/Central sector).

Thats true, this depend on the fact that battles are done with a filtered planeset, or periods...? Or on the current map, 2-3 types selected by chance?

No. The usual way is that they introduce a type that is out of sequence like this, then leave you frustrated and hanging on for an indefinite period until they fill the gaps and make the original aircraft relevant.

Frustrated? Naaah. Red boys get frustrated having crap yaks, Focke boys get frustrated cuz of no plane but Messerschmitt boys still got their Friedrich - a more potent T&B fighter too. No worries
