Nakajima B5N2 Kate Unit: Akagi Air Group Pilot:flown by Lt.JG Jinichi Goto on December 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor Attack. It's torpedo hit the USS Oklahoma. The B5N2 was officially adopted in December 1939 as a follow-up of the B5N1. Allied code-named “Kate,” the B5N2 was a highly maneuverable aircraft for its type, powered by one Nakajima Sakae 21, a twin-row 14-cylinder 1000 hp radial engine. With a top speed of 235 mph, it had a operational range of 610 miles. A three-man crew was standard. Its armament featured one 7.7mm machine gun for rearward defense and payload capacities of either: one 800kg bomb, two 250kg bombs, six 60kg bombs, six 30kg bombs, or one 800kg torpedo. The B5N2 was given a more powerful engine and streamlined a bit to try and make it capable of outrunning enemy fighters. the B5N2 Type 97 proved to be an accurate bombing and torpedo platform and equipped all six IJN carriers in the Nagumo task force that attacked the U.S. Pacific Fleet in the Pearl Harbor raid. The type 97 became the Navy’s mainstay in the early stages of the war wherever it saw extensive action, including combat campaigns in the Solomons, Southwest Pacific, and Indian Ocean. It was very successful in the early stages of the war, more because of it’s superbly trained aircrews, than any outstanding performance on the aircraft’s part. The B5N2 was becoming obsolete by the end of 1942. It was replaced by the B6N Tenzan starting in 1943, but continued to serve right through to the end of the war.

Bell P-63C Kingcobra Unit: 16th GvIAP VVS Siberia/Mongolia Bell designed the P-63 with the intention of improving the high altitude performance failure of the P-39 Airacobra. Although similar looking, the P-63 was a totally new aircraft; being larger with a laminer flow wing, supercharging,etc. Despite its improvements, the P-63 never lived up to the level of the P-51, Corsair, or other late-war front line fighters. The P-63 never saw combat in USAAF squadrons. Some 76% of the 3300 planes went to the Soviet Union, where their service record is largely unknown. The Soviets were have spin recovery issues with the first production version, the P-63A, and demanded a fix. Bell responded with the P-63C, adding a fin under the rear fuselage and shifting some of the aircraft CG which solved the problems. The US Army Air Force (USAAF) order for two prototypes in June 1941 launched the P-63 Kingcobra. Further prototypes followed before deliveries of the first production version began in October 1943. Production deliveries of the P-63A began in October of 1943. The USAAF never saw fit to use the Kingcobra for operational combat missions, since by that time in the war the need for a high altitude fighter was met by the P-38 and P-51, and low-altitude close-support fighter aircraft was more than adequately filled by such aircraft as the P-47 Thunderbolt. However, the Soviet Union had a need for a high-altitude fighter (where the P-39 was deficient), and excellent ground attack capabilities using the 37-mm cannon. The US Army directed the production of the Kingcobra to the Soviet s lend-lease program. The Russians used the P-63C Kingcobra primarily in the far east after declaring war on Japan in August 1945, Its mission was for close-support and ground strafing. The Kingcobra had a relatively good low-altitude performance and had the ability to absorb a lot of battle damage and still remain flying. It proved to be a potent ground attack aircraft and tank-buster, but it never received the amount of attention in the Soviet Union as did the Ilyushin Il-2 Shturmovik.

Macchi C.200 Saetta series VII Unit: 372 Squadriglia, 153 Gruppo, Greece invasion campaign Autumn 1941 When Italy entered the war on 10 June 1940 there were 144 Macchi C.200 available for operations. Until late 1941 the Saetta was the frontline fighter of the Regia Aeronautica. It operated on all fronts, with the exception of the short Italian intervention in the Battle of Britain in late 1940. It originally had an enclosed sliding canopy, but pilots did not like it. A half canopy open at the top and opening outwards was manufactured thereafter and the original canopies were replaced in the field. After a short appearance in the skies of France, the M.C. 200 saw action over Malta escorting bombing missions. It also saw service on the Greek-Albanian front performing similar duties.

Macchi C.200 Saetta series XXI Unit: 83a Squadriglia, 18 Gruppo at Abu Haggag, October 1942 When Italy entered the war on 10 June 1940 there were 144 Macchi C.200 available for operations. Until late 1941 the Saetta was the frontline fighter of the Regia Aeronautica. It operated on all fronts, with the exception of the short Italian intervention in the Battle of Britain in late 1940. It originally had an enclosed sliding canopy, but pilots did not like it. A half canopy open at the top and opening outwards was manufactured thereafter and the original canopies were replaced in the field. Later series reduced the canopy further with two glass deflector wings at the windscreen with a small shoulder height door that was often discarded as too confining -- as represented by this model. After a short appearance in the skies of France, the M.C. 200 saw action over Malta escorting bombing missions. It also saw service on the Greek-Albanian front performing similar duties. In April 1941 the first Macchi C.200 arrived in North Africa. They fought in a number of air campaigns during Rommel s first advance into Cyrenaica. In this period the Saetta clashed with the Hawker Hurricanes of the Western Desert Air Force. The Saetta proved to be an equal opponent for the legendary British fighter.

This is a set of twelve WWII British airfield ground vehicles. These are not really intended as targets although they do have damage files. Rather they are intended to be viewed around the airfield from the player's aircraft. So, they are more detailed than the usual vehicle bgls. Therefore they have a bit larger file, but still not bad. I've put quite a few in a mission without affecting the frame rates. Vehicles: AEC_854 = "Matador" heavy tanker refueler Albion_AM463 = tanker refueler 1938 to 1942 mainly, then gradually replaced with Bedford and AEC tankers Austin_K2 = standard ambulanece Austin_Tilly = light utility truck Bedford_MWD = utility truck bomb_trolley = C Type bomb trolley w/ 4x500lb bombs Brockhouse_bowser = towed fuel tank refueler Crossley_FE1 = fire / foam crash tender DB_tug_trolley = David Brown tractor tug towing the bomb trolley DBtug_bowser = David Brown tractor tug towing the Brockhouse bowser Fordson_WOT8 = 3 ton lorry starter_cart = electric battery cart used to provide power to start many RAF type aircraft..
