DoubleTap Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 In other words, if you had to fight an air battle, circa 1942, how many F2A-2's would I need to give you to replace each Seafire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Playing Devil's Advocate here............. If this Poll is being used as a means of determining a possible SEOW event I would say that "numbers" are a poor means of determining their worth.

JensenPark Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 depends on how many 'live' pilots...but I'd go with 2 to 1 if live vs live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Seafire F MkIII, or Seafire L MkIII? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delta7 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I dont think that the f2a2s could adequetly replace the seafire- the difference in performance is too great - IF I had to pick a number then Id rather have 1 spit to 3 f2a2s and face the higher odds as IMHO with the spit you can dictate a fight whereas with the f2a2 you would be struggling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delta7 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 the hurri is a wee underrated gem so its 1 to 1 for spit and hurri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 The best (most even) match of the 3 (4) planes that I can see is the F2A2 and the Seafire F mkIII. The F2A2 turns better than the Hurri, and the Seafire F is slower than the Seafire L down low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBloke Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Over my head and cant argue but I will post The numbers already posted sound well enough.. but the proof is in the pudding!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted August 22, 2007 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 ~S~ DT, one good pair of F2A2s could do in a Seafire but would have to set them selves up very carefully for a faster opponenet me thinks ?? Hell lets try it out ay LOL ~S~ Painless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer57 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I think it would also depend on whether it's actuallly a solitary plane against several. I think a single SF against 3 Buffs is gonna have a big problem, but TWO SFs against 6 buffs might be a different matter. Of course, the pilot is the most important factor.

BBloke Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I was just about to post "is this factoring in that we are the Dangers Dogz and Hell Hounds!" or are we on another playing field.... ...african swallow or european swallow! ..Then again, uh....African swallows are non-migratory.....

delta7 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 fun this - did we not fly a mountain map co-op with these planes against each other in the early days ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil_sparrow Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Salute: Sorry DT, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer57 Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Doh! I was comparing the SF to the hurri, not the hurri to the Buff. Damn. Well, I kinda think the maybe 1.3 buffs per mk1 hurri, but 1.5 buffs per mk2 hurri. I know.....here's a good question: What if God and Superman got into a fight? Not George Burns god in "Oh God", but the "Bruce Almighty" god. Yeah....that's about right. I'm getting confused now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
