Interestingly, I am planning on eventually building a fighter that is quite similar to the P-47 as well. Brazil in 1937 will begin equipping its fighter squadrons with the EMBRAER EMB-36 (Seversky P-35) which was delayed due to the SA War, and the following Civil War. The EMB-36 will be the standard fighter in Brazilian service, replacing the EMB-32, 33 and 37 in the Brazilian air force as the standard fighter. EMB will continue development, and in 1939 begin developing an improved version, the EMB-38 (P-43) just in time for the 1939 Talons. The EMB-38 will supplement the FMA I-100 as the main interceptor, until the EMB-39 comes out in 1941 (P-47)

Wiki sez he went to the US in March 1918 as part of the Russian Embassy there. No October revolution in WW to chase hm off, but I can't rule out that Socialist revolutionary/Menshevik Russia might well have found a way to p*ss him off. Nobility types are sometimes easy to p*ss off.

He's yours, Hrolf.

Heh, looking at that list one wonders if one of them didnt end up in Brazil

Hm. I'm too late to send anything for the Phillipines, aren't I...

If so, a Fw 187 and He 112 will be present for publicity purposes only, and Presidente Garcia will eat sack whoever was responsible for delaying the entry form.

What?!? Presidente Garcia?!? We're DOOMED! It's truly the end of the world!!!

Indeed - now no buffet table is safe!!

I'm thinking we make room on all buffet tables for that Nordmarkian delicacy, lutefisk.

Let me propose surströmming

I'm pretty sure Norway is the only place I've been where you get cold fish soup for breakfast.

A ten mile run through the snow, followed by cold fish soup...

....and a cold bath.

Actually any thing that starts with a fish soup is a bad thing.
I just hate that dish.
More that i hate garlic and for me that is saying a lot...
I don't mind "A ten mile run through the snow" "....and a cold bath." as much I hate fish soup.

Fish soup can differ from country to country but wath I was forced to eat in my childhood has no place to be no the same planet that I am!!!

Sounds like "Fish soup" was a loose term!

I want everyone to take heart from the scores this year. In many ways its been the closest Talons in a while.

Of course the latest top range fighters have dominated the points tables but when you look at the mid-range and lower-range fighters and compare them in the events and the tables you'll find not much between them. The slower but lighter fighters still make up the bulk of the entries and as the events show they had the tougher fights and races to beat off competitors very similar in perfromance. Planes like the Ki-34, Tornado and He-100 are the cutting edge and can dictate the combats they fight but when nations look to what their neighbours have they can take heart from what Talons has shown them.

You'll note the reduced mechancial complaints in most types as the maintenance catches up and the bugs ironed out. Some new engines still have problems and the pusher-engined types still need refining in regards to cooling but as these issues are solved effects will be noticable.

Also its been a crash free year! [Sadly Messers Pedro & Pedro Undertakers in Cordoba haven't been too profitable during Talons this year]

That is why I decided to go for the bf-109 its a small plane with a big engine that has enough room for growth to be a competent design till the jets make an entry.

The one-oh-nine is a plane that gets lots of flak today.
Still I stay with it, low wing loading high trust to weight.
Its low range is not a problem for a front line fighter, it was cheap to build and easy to maintain, it remained in production of 21 years.

This plane has ever right to be a legend its now is. Only the spitfire can challenge its record, while the Spit have take a back seat in the war to Typhoon and Mustangs, one-oh-nine was always in the front row from Spain to Israel.

Runt end.

I enjoyed this years Talons very much.
