USMC Corsair, Sturmovik, and Stuka were all chase pieces

Tojo, Navy Corsair, Australian Buffalo.

For some reason I have gotten more of the silver Japanese planes than anything else. None of these were pieces I didn't have yet, but I was glad to get the Buffalo and Corsair. It's funny, I can't stand the Buffaloes in War at Sea but I do like this Buffalo. It's the cheap fodder plane that also happens to be pretty durable for what you get. It's also a true-blue proxy for the Finnish Buffalo that I don't have.

Yeah, nothing from my high priority list but I was pretty happy about it nonetheless.

Nice Start!

Yep, that's back-to-back boosters with Corsairs. This one co-stars IAR 80A and LA5-FN Ace. Marine Corsair is one you guys shouted out, so let's take a look at that. High-Speed Performance is nice, and just in case you happened to score 7 successes on a veteran, there's Rugged to offer a save. Yep, nice plane. This is my second USMC.

I like the Romanian planes, and especially the IAR since it's the native craft. I don't think a swarm of IARs would do very well, though. My buddy who I have played with really likes the Axis minors and doesn't have any pieces himself, so he will be glad to have that made available to him. I had one of the 109s and another of these IARs already, so now I have a trio to fly at 79 points.

I've played the LA-5 before and really enjoyed it. It has an offensive SA, a defensive SA, and a maneuvering SA for a very nice package. Not that it needed any of that, just by looking at the stats it's a good plane: high vital, 3 hull, very good maneuver stats, just a little bit undergunned at range. Add on the SAs and things are just that much better. Oh, and it's an Ace. Score. This is my second as well.
