Definitely would love that. Can usually get a lock in 1-1.5km. Atleast on higher powered pistons.

Give the biplanes Aim-9M’s and we have a level playing field lol
Biplanes can lock the jets from 3(+?) kilometers while jets need half the distance to lock and fire at the slow biplanes so they’d probably overshoot

15 biplanes with 2x magic 2 vs 1 rafale with full loadouts.
There is an airfield to restock in the centre used by both sides and no air defences.
Or just biplanes with early IR missiles from their respective nations vs eachother

I honestly don’t think they would be that super helpful considering how fast biplanes can turn, and how close range the fights at rank I are.

option 2 actually sounds like it might be more fun because you have these relatively slow biplanes with missiles strapped to them trying to dodge early IR missiles with bad lock ranges and a narrow field of view, while still having their guns to use

Possibly but narrowly getting missed by an aim9b in a tiny/slow/open cockpit biplane is so much more fun than a “missile evaded” while flying mach .8

Best part is that you’d probably have to be within gun range to get a lock with on a biplane with an aim9b anyways so you probably can’t dodge it that well lol (especially if you’re unaware like me)

My gun range for biplanes is like .5km, especially if it only has like 2x .30 cal. The missile kan prob do 0.5-1.5 lock.
Biplanes turn like crazy BUT their speed is so low so from an angular change in the flight path an AIM-9B might still be able to hit. Especially if you have like a couple dozens bipanes on a small map lobbing deathsticks at eachother.

hmmm. Fair point. Ten bucks says the missile would miss but would still do the thing where it gets another lock and kills a friendly
early IR missiles (AiM-9B/R3S) almost can’t lock prop planes at all
there are mods for it im pretty sure (skull)
yea, its like that irl that props are harder to lock that way, even 9Ms and R-73s have trouble locking them as good as jets (custom battles and dev server battles)
there are skins for the Fw 200
So many possibilities for the Japanese CAS, the list does not contain all the possibilities.
I am not the author of this list.

And i want them all. Starting with the 12,7mm Armament.
Additionally, you can add a few interesting planes to this list.
Additionally, you can add a few planes such as Heinkel He 118/DXHe1, Junkers Ju 87 K-1, Grumman TBM-3S and a few other planes
Any Leaks for the next patch or talk ??
Not for the next update though the main speculation over the few days has been over which Commonwealth Hornet Britain could get
