The guys at Rising Sun seem to have no problems with brand X. Just name the planes by their number designation and leave the brand X name of the Box. Would love to see a Dutch East Indies expansion. Maybe combined with the Malaya campaign and the sinking of the Repulse and Prins of Wales. That area has never been covered by 1C. To make it real easy they should just hire the Rising Sun guys for the missions and we would have a real gem on our hands. No need to reinvent the wheel twice.

If they were doing a Dutch East Indies map I'ld hope they'ld include Northern Australia. There were quiet a few raids on Darwin, Broome and other towns. (By the end of the war there was over a quarter of a million US troops based in or passed through Northern Australia)

On the Alied side we'd at least need P-39's, tropicalised Mk5 Spitfires, P-40E-s and not to forget the Catalina's for the Double Sunrise flights and Naval patrols! WHat else would we need!

The spitfires had really bad reputation for range and reliablity (over heating, CSU failing at extreme altitude, cannon's icing up etc) but they were the mainstay of the propaganda machine in Australia.

On the other hand, I was actually looking forward to the Battle for Moscow. How else will we send those belligerent LW pilots to the Russian Front!

Funny you wrote this. In the first years of the Russian online campaigns, Yaks don`t pose much of a threat because they are very underpowered. I153, I 16 don`t do much of a defensive job either (mudmoving is another story though). Assuming that the CEM finally will be a factor in succsesful flying, it will be even harder for the reds. Now getting a P40 would probably change everything. As in the old IL-2 days, the P40 was the only plane that would cause Lufties to summon some kind of strategy before going in. Migs might be a problem but not anywhere near the magnitude of the P40 which is slick, able both down low and higher.

Not to mention the whole .50 cal debate starting all over again.
I don`t think the 1C wants to take it all on themselves at a time lol

When you see how effective the rifle caliber machineguns already are, i can't see any possible complaint for the .50's.

At least as long as there are no PzVI Tiger in the game, which wont flip on their back , i'm afraid
