Aircraft list (and possible additions, in historical context)


Recommended Posts

So a Soviet P-63 in the game is just an idea, "alternative" war scenario. Trying to get as many red airplanes in the fight, as the historical set is pretty limited. And I would definitely enjoy fighting F-51s in a P(F?)-63 - according to Greg it would be a real matchup. 

While the E doesn't seem to add much over the A-5, it has a lot (and is historically more accurate for late 1951/1952 air war). You get a better front windscreen and all-flying tail for more high speed maneuverability. 

Then of course, the F takes over, with a bigger engine and later the no-slat 6-3 wing, plus two inner hardpoints for bombs, making it a better A/G fighter. An F-25, with A-4 radar sight, 6-3 wing, -27 engine, and inboard pylons was pretty much the best Korea UN fighter.

The A-5, while interesting, would be like fighting WW2 in a P-51A.

Id be super keen to see the Meteor F.8 added to the game. It didn't fare well in the real war as its high altitude performance wasn't up there with the Migs however in the low level environment and ground attack role it would be a very fun addition to the game. I also suspect with that big fat wing in a low level turning fight in the right hands it would be quite a formidable opponent....
