I  remember some old AW films of him in a Hog. Always figured he was a hawg man, because that was one of the first 2 planes modelled in WB.

If it was you, sorry I disappeared so quickly... When you shot off 1 aileron and 1 flap, the flap was deployed 3 levels. Naturally my FIRST instinct was to retract the other flap. However a flap shot off when deployed still affects airflow (is a bug), so that put me into a spinning dive that I could not correct becuase I only had 1 aileron (not enough force to counter the flap's lift). So by the time I realized I was in trouble, chopped throttle, and slowed down enough to lower my remaining flap to 3 levels, I had dropped about 10k and decided to limp home.


And limp I did!! Had to lose a lot of alt without picking up too much speed (3 levels of flaps = crap for flying)

Last time I saw HT up and flying it was in a PT boat at about 5k and time before that it was an F6F... I've never seen HT in any LW plane.

Back in the old, old, old, old, days me, HT, Killer, Anvil, and a bunch of others of the same mold usually drove FW's. At least that's what I recall.

Not sure about what he flew after AW. And, of course, in AW choice wasn't as great nor as historically accurate.

BB was a 109 guy.

I seem to recall Moggy and Ketchup in Hawgs.

Twist and Killer were a Fw drivers.

Can't recall for sure the others.

The Fw190 does fly in a nose down attitude in AH2, that is not the problem ...





... the problem is that so does its pilot and guns ...





... unlike other planes.

The drawing above shows a -4.2 degree line of sight for the pilot.  Does anyone have line of sight for any other planes?  This must have been a standard thing to measure in a fighter.

ra,

I've seen them for the Spitfire, but I don't have them.  I noted that AH Spitfire seemed to have a better over the nose view than the real Merlin Spitfire.  The Griffon Spitfires were a bit better than the Merlin Spitfires.

One difference seemed to be the position of the gunsight in the real Spit.  It is significantly lower in the real Spit as compared to the AH Spit.

Guns, gunsight, pilot, wings or all of them are misplaced in 190s. BTW, our 190A/D 3D revi sight is almost half the size of the real one.

Prodocs documents indicated -5 degrees nose-line of sight for Fw190. Sadly prodocs url is not working anymore.
