P-80 Shooting Star...

[EduardoMCfly]

"Army Air Forces (AAF) boss Gen. Henry H. “Hap” Arnold probably did not intend to throw the P-80s into combat against the Luftwaffe, at least not until their numbers could be increased, but the jet-powered P-80 did play a role in the war."

There are so many other planes I'd like to see first before the P-80.

Sb bomber or early war lagg-3 would be more usefule in game then P-80, but hes asking would we like P-80, so its simple yes answer ?

No... it's contribution to the Allied war effort is pathetically small compared to much needed other types.

I'd prefer more 'less violent' stuff  like recon planes, air-transport, trains & ships, and vehicles like a player willy's jeep or supply-truck.

I remember a lady friend of my mother who drove British trucks after the invasion. She had some stories good for campaigns (if there's any infantry too?).

I choose if...

If ever we make it to Korea where it played a more significant role than in WWII.

This does not take away the fact that I would like the series to remain in WWII but maybe within due time or as a side project like FC, Korea would be interesting.

 

Have a nice day.

Simulating wood laminate peeling and parts breaking off well below critical rated speeds would probably not be possible with today's computers.  And let's not forget once it's overheated, it just won't cool down.    

I'm all for any plane we can get but, another "idealized" version of a LaGG-3 is low on my list.

I wasn't able to add the condition to the "if" response I selected:  I would like the P-80 to be added as a collector plane right after the Blackburn Skua and the PLZ P.23 Karas are added.

if the map of Korea is so yes, but (unfortunately) not in the second war. The game lacks many other aircraft that have been deployed in combat
