Unusual matchups - red on red / blue on blue ideas requested

[CrazyDuck]

Hi chaps and chapettes,

 

so I'm thinking about creating some at least partially historical dogfight missions (perhaps even online dogfight maps) with unusual fighter matchups (single fighter type on each side, preferably from the same default side in the sim, and no masquerading of one type for another). Of course they should be matched somewhat evenly on top of all this.

 

Since I'd like to avoid making stuff up completely, I'm asking you for ideas.

 

So far I got:

• 109E vs 109E - Yugoslavia vs Germany, Battle of Belgrade (fairly historical - Yugoslavia operated about 70 109Es at the time of German invasion, multiple kills on both sides between these aircraft)
• Lagg-3 vs Lagg-3/P-39/La-5 - Finland vs Russia (vaguely historical, 1 recorded kill)

 

More ideas?

 

Cheers!

Finnish I-16 vs Russian I-16.  

 

And for fun, Turkish vs German Fw-190s.  Just to see what people could still find to complain about.

RAEF (Egypt) vs Israeli Spitfires, (with RAF stuck in middle), 1949.  Would work with the upcoming Mk IX.

This is actually exciting to think about...  I’d like to see more

This led me to Yak-3 vs P-38 over Niš.

Japan operated a small squadron of captured P-40s

Could be fun to try it versus some of the American equipment when the Pacific expansions eventually come

P51s vs Jaks in Korea,

 

P51s vs F4U Corsairs Honduras vs El Salvador, 1969

Swiss 109s vs German 109s perhaps.  With some US bombers caught in the middle.

The lack of swastikas of course.

I was planning on running a dynamic campaign on kuban in a what if scenario

Where the axis have defeated Russia early in 1942 and now have established a 'White 'Russian government aka Vichy. Perhaps named the novorossiya 

The allies have convinced Turkey to enter the war on their side . The new front is therefor opened up in the Caucasus.  

Axis : German  and Russian planeset 

Allies  p40 spitfire a20 p39 plus the 190a3 . Turkey had been gifted them by Germany early in the war and is now using them against the axis powers

Go for it. I’d be interested in giving it a whirl just for the novelty value.
