Yep. That's why I suggested a fictional China mission over the Burma map, where odds might be a bit more even and the opposition a bit less formidable (i.e., Ki-21 or Ki-43 instead of A6M2).

Actually, historically, a U.S. pilot flying a demonstrator model of the CW-21 for the Chinese got a Japanese bomber. While you'd have to substitute the Ki-27 for the Br.20, it would make an interesting scenario.

For the KNIL, course, unlike doomed Dutch pilots, players can refly missions where they're vastly outnumbered. If players are willing to use unlimited ammo, such missions might actually be survivable. Also, there's no rule that missions can't be fine-tuned to even the odds.

Another possibility is to put the CW-21 in a position where it can really shine. Set up a scenario where Zeroes bounce a flight of hapless Buffalos and the Demons come to the rescue from superior altitude once the Zeroes are fully engaged.
For the other types I simply ran out of time to incorporate anything before they released. Maybe I'll try and put something together for the next patch.
