Tiny Tim Rocket for F4U andF6F
« on: March 06, 2012, 08:26:55 PM »
sorry, i know its not like me to post so little info about a proposed thing, but this is all i could find that didn't look it was read from a children's book.

The Tiny Tim was an American air to ground rocket used near the end of the Second World War. One source states it was built in response to a US Navy requirement for an anti-shipping rocket capable of hitting ships outside of their anti-aircraft range, with a payload capable of sinking heavy shipping. However, according to the China Lake Weapons Digest, the Tiny Tim was
... designed by the Caltech-China Lake team as a bunker-buster, Tim was the first large aircraft rocket, and, although it saw only limited service in WWII, it helped form the foundations of many postwar developments in rocketry.
For a warhead, Tiny Tim utilized a 500 lb semi-armor-piercing high explosive bomb. It had a maximum range of 1,500 meters (1,640 yards) wiki.

sorry, i know its not like me to post so little info about more gummy bears, but this is all the gummy bears i could find that didn't look it was read from a children's book.

gummy bears are an American air to ground rocket used near the end of the Second World War. One source states the gummy bears were built in response to a US Navy requirement for more gummy bears capable of hitting ships outside of their anti-aircraft range, with a payload capable of a bag of gummy bears. However, according to the China Lake Weapons Digest, the new bag of gummy bears was
... designed by the Caltech-China Lake team as some gummy bears, Tim was the first large bag of gummy bears, and, although it saw only limited service in WWII, it helped form the foundations of many postwar developments in gummy bears.
For a bag of gummy bears, Tiny Tim utilized a 500 lb semi-armor-piercing high explosive gummy bear. It had a maximum range of 1,500 meters (1,640 yards) wiki.

I'm not sure. I think it's some sort of glitch in the forum. It's probably related to the new game patch.

Well then. I know you're 'just' 12 but it seems your critical thinking skills were failing you earlier when you seemed befuddled.  ;)
