BBonus Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Hi all - at some point in the future I think it would be great if Royal Navy/British Pacific Fleet assets/missions were included. There would be some crossover with USN assets, but my initial aircraft wishlist would be: Fairey Barracuda Fairey Firefly Grumman F6F Hellcat Grumman TBF Avenger Supermarine Seafire Supermarine Walrus Vought F4U Corsair Of course the main attraction is trying a land a Seafire on deck without mishap . I would appreciate your thoughts/comments on this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Pacific_Fleet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper117 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Jason has said in the interview he would like to include British/ Commonwealth etc... And it just doesn't have to be the Royal Navy and carriers... There is the attack on Malaya and Singapore with land based British/Commonwealth aircraft 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loke Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) Not to forget Burma which was a large part of the Pacific battles. And hopefully in the far future we get the chance to bomb or defend Darwin, Australia. Edited May 22, 2023 by Loke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper117 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Dutch East Indies, Flying Tigers are other possibles... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBonus Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 Thanks and agree - have started a separate thread for Burma, Malaya, Dutch East Indies etc. Chinese theatre and Flying Tigers would be fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue 5 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Much as it pains me to say it, it would be something of a dead end and likely not worth the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melonfish Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) They say in the air force a landings ok, if the pilot gets out and can still walk away. But in the fleet air arm the prospects are slim, if the landings p*ss poor and the pilot can't swim. Cracking show, I'm alive, but I still have to render my A25! (An a25 was the Faa's pilot accident report) British and commonwealth planes absolutely should get a showing Edited May 23, 2023 by Melonfish 1 Quote "The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
