WHY IS THIS ?!

[rosco-]

  Actually it was the superior RAF Pilots "mainly the  polish ones"   that won the BOB. Sure the spit was a good plane but in the hands of the LW it wouldnt have been nearly as sucessfull.

 Aces high models higher octain fuel than the LW had in RL so I can understand how a 109 turning inside you would be confuseing but its all proper on the up and up and within game prameters. Of course I want the spitfire with the car wax  field mod that smothed the skin enough to reduce drag and give it an extra 20mph. Then you would have no problem with those pesky uber 109s. I also want the 8 cannon version. This is all histroicly correct info I got it from a book, "forget the name but I remember it was about WW2" I didnt get this info from Movies and off of tv, which as we all know, sometimes isnt true. I deal in facts.

As a dedicated leather wearing, sweaty jock-strapped Luftwobble ( nothing like the obviously Brittish gent in Seawolf's post  I fly one of those horrible planes that have National Socialist leanings, those awefull bloody Nazi machines, goosestepping around on their tricycle gear and barking Heil some idiot out their exhaust stacks at every opertunity, cruising the skies looking for dedicated jewish aircraft with funny little hats..........theres no such thing as a 'Nazi aircraft' dolt, perhaps some of the men who flew them where Nazis, but I have yet to encounter a peice of machinery that has a political opinion.

---------------------------------------------
Yes, the engine has a cutoff, but when later Roll Royce Sabre was added it waas solved. And the engine had more than 1000 horsepower !!!

---------------------------------------------
And that cutout bit fixed by the Sabre??? what are you on? exactly how many Sabre engined Spitfires where made? for that matter, the Sabre was made by Napier, RR had bugger all to do with it.

Any 109 driver worth their salt can 'out-turn' a Spit by using roll in the vertical, especially if you roll right and the Spitdweeb tries to follow you....fair enough, in a flat out horizontal turnfight at stall speed, your Spit may just stand a chance, pretty much any other situation, if the 109 driver knows what he's doing, your Spitfire is gonna start spitting fire.....from it's ruptured, flaming fuel tank, conveniently positioned in the best possible spot to BBQ the pilot.

The Hurri won the BoB.....Weave IS a funny guy.....allmost EVERY fighter aircraft of WWII had over 1000hp engines...opertunists fly Jugs, Lightnings or Runstangs....and it was fuel injection that fixed the inverted cutout caused by carbureter aspiration.....RR Sabre....he he he.....dude, can I have some of whatever mind bending stuff you smoke please? sounds like wild gear

All Jewish, (true) Brittish people, and any who actually know a bit about both the various marques of Spitfire, and the politically non commited aircraft that they fought against, please do not take any offence at this post, it is intended entirely for toejamstirring twits that think because they can fly EAW with moderate success that anyone who can actually get a flight model like AH has work for them and know some basic ACM are cheaters.
Thanks  


Oh, BTW, two of my Great Uncles flew Spitfires in the Battle of Brittain, it is an awesome aircraft, and I have the utmost respect for the men who flew them. The Yanks are right, the BoB may have saved England from Operation Sealion....but it certainly didnt win the war, the B17, B24, B25,Lanc,Halifax,Boston,Wellington etc  (Bomber Command and the 8thAF) did that by pounding into dust Germany's ability to make weapons of war and the fuel required to run them.....along with the courage and tenacity of the thousands of Allied troops who actually fought it out with the Wermacht on the ground.

Nice troll, you would make a good Gustav pilot

Maybe I'm being to serious for this thread, but I'm of the opinion that the Ruskies are the ones that won the war for us. Mebe not in their air power, but in manpower. Sorry for getting serious. Now back to your regularly scheduled troll

Wasn't 1.944 the peak of German War Industrial Production? That puts a big question mark wether Buff Strat force won the war.

The war was won by terrestrial warfare and occupation of land. No doubt Strategic Bombing helped, but (and this is a personal opinion) given the results in terms of industrial output, the main contribution of the 8th AF to the end of the war was the killing of German interdictors.

OTOH, should UK lose the war, that would give Nazis a HUGE relief. First, would make U.S. entrance in the war blurry, second, would put the Lend&Lease in a doubtful position, third, would eliminate the 2 front war and free resources for Hitler to use in Barbarossa.....U.K. won the war?...possibly not, certainly not, but U.S. won it alone? ....

As newguy says, sorry for ruining such a fantastic troll...

Germany produced 21,000 single engine (Fw 190s and Me 109s) fighters in 1944 alone, the highest single year fighter production rate of the Third Reich.

....and it was fuel injection that fixed the inverted cutout caused by carbureter aspiration.....

It wasn't - Germans pioneered the use of fuel injection in combat planes. It was as far as I recall a penny-sized washer placed in a carb that sorted the cut-out in Spits' motor

[MANDOBLE]

IMO, BOB was won by three main factors:
First and most important, extremely short range of german fighters.
Second, Radar.
Third, spies and inteligence service. And this includes the alteration of german radio signals to keep his the bombers in the correct bearing, making them to fail the targets over'n over with deviations of up to 100 km.

Without any of those factors the british hadn't have any chance. You can review the RAF results in the german advance over France and extrapolate.

And yep, in certain circunstances the 109F and G2 can outturn the nikkis, and even the spits. Obviously not at almost stall speeds.

Well... if there were an option on the spit 5 to pull a couple of plug wires, screw up the floats in the carb and remove the cannon... Would you do it?   If you did you would have a Spit one.   It would be fine to be virtually unarmed and slow if all the other planes you faced were (BOB) but not in the current arena.  I think a manly plane like a Hog Hellcat or P47 could just ignore a Spit one shooting at em.

I do believe it was Hermann Göring's stupidity that lost BOB for Germany more than any one Britian plane won it for GB.
