ORIGINAL: pad152 Aircraft list Where are the following? B17E The first version of the B17 used by the 8th airforce in 1942! the game starts in Aug of 43 ?, time line is pretty much done with this plane P47C Jan 1943 through mid to 1943 8th air force well again, the first D's were coming off the production lines early in 43, by fall of 43, most of the C's on the books were upgraded or in the process of being upgraded to D's standard (now some C's were still on the books and flying in mid 44, but they were no longer C's other then in Block number) P38F mid 1942 used by some groups until 1943 again, way out of the timeline, the G is already a outdated model by the time the game starts P38G ? the G and the H are too close to being the same plane, and with the G already on the way out, the H is really the only model needed P40N ? well, to an extent, the N is in as the IV, and while some 5000 were built, it was more a landlease and PTO model then a ETO model Why Meteor I & III and no P80? (no allied jets saw combat but, the P80's in Italy were just weeks away from going operational before end of the war in europe. the biggest hassle with the P-80 right now, is stats, most stats for the plane, are based on what it could do in Korea, not what it was doing in 45, I find better info on this plane, I be more then happy to add it in for the 109G6/AS and 109G14/AS it is more in how they used them, then in not likeing or wanting them, I do not find much were they were used Gruppen sized units I am a little on the fence on these, I could "add" a new engine type, and frame, which would then mean more split factories to build these, would leave off the Paks, as they should be seen as High Alt fighters, but with weaker firepower then could be used with the plain models (but, it is going to be a bugger trying to keep all the engines and frames lined up as it is)
