S3 Series

Do the RCAF need to fly the Hurri or Buffalo every frame as their first life?

In frame 1 you did not list the Hurricane as available. Means the RCAF can only choose the Buffalo?

I know it sucks, but Im trying to keep this historic. If you have another idea that is better and that gets the Buffalo into the Series, I will listen.

I could release the Hurry in Frame 2 as it was available in theatre in Feb '42. Frame 2 takes place in Feb-March '42. That way you'd only have to fly the Buffalo in Frame 1 as a first plane. Lets see how Frame 1 goes.

EDIT: I flew the Buffalo today and shot down an F4U with it. ...so I can be deadly to the enemy if flown properly.
It can cruise at about 255 with no wep, almost 280 with wep.
It will be dismal against a zero but we don't see the zero till Frame 5, and we will have the Hurri and P40E then so you could fly a Hurri, P40E and P-40B if you need all 3 lives.

That sounds ok, I would not want the Buffalo in all 5 frames. Barely able to catch a Buff (bomber)

True! Unless you get shot down 2 times a frame, you should only have to fly it in this first frame.

I was considering moving up the release of the Hurricane to Frame 2 to replace the B339 Buffalo. However since allies pretty much cleaned the clocks of the axis in Frame 1, I’ll stick with original plan. The Hurricane will be released in Frame 3.
