Hey HiTech, a few months ago there was a post with pic of you in the arena trying a plane without skin, or finished "model" it looked like a PT boat flying around IIRC.

was it the KI84 what you were trying out that day???

just curious.

I don't think so. It didn't act like an airplane the time he flew it up to my M8.

Perhaps testing the ECM for next month?

He was in the F5 'god mode' view from the tower I think. Try it offline, your movement sure doesn't resemble something that flies

Hitech has already said he flies/ tests planes that have no skin and they look like the pt boats.

If it was an aircraft it would have had to have been a Fiesler Storch. That or a UFO.

That said, I could be mistaken as I only saw it for a few seconds. I was in the pintle gun looking around and I check my 7 o'clock and there is this PT Boat hovering there, bow down a bit, pointed at me. I grabbed the pintle .50 cal, swung it around and gave the deviant PT Boat a long burst whereupon it exploded.

I was right next to his PT boat, same side, infact he saved my arse, the reversal he made looked more like somthing a P-38f would do, but what do I know...

In AH1 he'd use the P51D. I think I remember some players getting blasted by 4x30mm before the 262 debuted

The PT boat he used in beta was for fun I believe... no way in hell that was a flight model

In my test versions I have the ability to use god's eye hooked to any plane or vehicle. It used for lots of things like moving a vehicle quickly to where you want to shoot. Holding a plane off the runway and droping it to test landing gear. To moving threw objects and see what the collision system does.

With the PT boat I was just messing around on line with Gods eye mode.

When we test new planes in the arena it will just be substitude for a different plane shape. And is anounced that we are doing that.

HiTech

I haven't d/l or played AH2, but from the screen shots it appears the instruments are easier to read. Is that true?
