What are you seeing in the MA? This has been something like the FW190A4 vs Spit 5 matchup of past but recent changes to the game may have made it a better match.

The reason I ask is the new Truk terrain is almost ready for prime time.

YUM!

I will do my part to test the A6M5 and I will ask and search for HellKitty pilots when I can.

Domo.

Giving a fair bit of lead time on this just because it is one of those matchups that we dont see often.

In order to make this happen quickly we need the following form filled out as completely as possible for the A6M5 and F6F

https://www.dropbox.com/s/o9fxbcy3ymoj9 ... t.pdf?dl=0

This makes the FM revision process MUCH faster.

I would suggest forming a small team for each from the squads that know the aircraft and will be flying them next S3 and getting the form completed and sent to me via email ASAP.

With this form complete the FM takes a few hours to produce and then can be Beta tested AGAINST the datasheet fairly quickly.

If it doesn't happen quickly it won't happen before the next S3. We won't be pushing out an S3 FM without at least week in the Main Arena to fix the inevitable problems. More time is better because the update requires a time limited resource to accomplish.

Next S3 is Feb 8 so the FM has to be in Beta in the next 10 days

Dont want to rush anyone on this.
We may be able to do the Pearl Harbour event instead. Terrain looks good and is almost in beta.
From what I understand the A6M2 and F4F3 are new FMs. P40C is the other a/c we should see in the Pearl Harbour time period.

Off topic, but I've been curious how Pearl would play out. We all know the event and not sure how to stretch the terrain into 5 frames. Might be a good split series. 2 frames allied, 2 frames axis or less.

A6M2 IS NOT REVISED nor the P-40 so basically same situation as A6M5 and F6F.

No rush if the data is collected. Like I said, with data in front of me it just takes a few hours to build and another few hours to tweak after the first build to arrive at something usable in an Arena.

The dirty secret is that the aircraft with data collected in one spot get my immediate attention. So if you have something you want to get in the pile ahead of others, fill out the datasheet completely and send it to me and it goes tot the top of the stack.

Can't do Pearl until we get the spelling changed.

Both Truk and Pearl HARBOR ;) will play the same. Nobody wants to be sitting in one or two of the rides for the entire series but they are important and unique historical events. Cool terrains too.
