Sitrep, Week 1 Bring the Jug to AH Campaign

[Crapgame]

Hristo, The Jug could outdive any German Iron currently modelled in the game. If you think the 262 could outdive it, well it probably could, but are you gonna be able to pull out? I'll take a maneuver kill just as well as a guns kill....they both equal another tally to the Group score..

Who in God's name wants to see another redundant US fighter?  P-47 can't do anything that the F4U or P-38 can't do better.

Me 262 did not have dive recovery problems.  It was controllable at much higher Mach numbers than any WW2 prop fighter.

More planes, more vehicles, more jugs and more beer...


Did I say I want more.?

Funked, thats a brutal attitude considering the German Iron actually outnumbers the American Iron in this game. I'm all for modelling planes which have been given short shrift in other sims, but c'mon, the Thunderbolt was the most produced American fighter of the war. The FW190, ME109 and P51 and P38 have all seen extensive modelling in other sims, but are included here because they define the era...without the Jug, the definition loses something. Sure, bring on the Yaks, Ki's, Macchis, Lagg's and anything else, but criminy....don't ignore the plane that broke the Jagdflieger's back.

As to the 262 dive, maybe it could outdive a Jug, but sooner or later it's gonna have to land.. and then it's .50 cal time!!

I was wondering where I left my beer......

Funked is just worried that it'll be able to catch his Typhoon in a dive <G>

Add one (non-player) vote for the Jug. And one more bash on Funked (cripes I thought you knew better than to challenge the Jugoons!)

Funked spewed:  "Who in God's name wants to see another redundant US fighter? P-47 can't do anything that the F4U or P-38 can't do better."

Mr. Jug is gonna have to teach you an 8x.50 cal lesson my friend!   The Jug is better at high altitude than either of those.  It dives better and is faster than either of those planes.  It's tougher than everything but bombers.  AND it's got more guns!  8 fifties are a beautiful thing my friend, and no other plane can lug those puppies around. <G>  

The P-47D is THE BnZ fighter for the allies.  No namby pamby E fighter like the Pony or even the Hog, BnZ is all the Jug does, and it does it damn well!  I'd also rather have a Jug for any A2G work there is... nothing can take fire and keep flying like a Jug.

Any WWII sim without the Jug is like a works pizza with no pepperoni!  Sure, it's still a pizza with lots of good stuff on it, but it's missing something...  It's like a 6 pack that somebody stole one can out of... it's like... uh... flat beer!  (Just trying to put this in terms HTC will understand.)

"MY P-47 is a pretty good ship
And she took a round coming 'cross the Channel last trip
I was thinking 'bout my baby and lettin' her rip
Always got me through so far
Well they can ship me all over this great big world
But I'll never find nothing like my North End girl
I'm taking her home with me one day, sir
Soon as we win this war"

Lephturn, might I just add, that a WW2 aircombat sim without the P47 is like a woman without, umm...well....Jugs!!!  

Love the pizza analogy though...<g>
