Name another plane in AH that didnt see combat.

I cant think of any either....So, no matter how cool the plane would be, there are many more in line that have a better claim on HTC resources.

the F7F tigercat

..ummmmm....

Handy, I'm not sure what game you've been playing, but the F7F and P80 aren't in AH. Not being a tech/spec guy, can't comment on the 1.98 ata issue; but the K4 was clearly a combat aircraft.

We don't have the 1.98ata K4, we have the lower boosted version.

Ah, got ya.

As an extra bit of info -
There is still no solid proof that even 1 K4 ever used 1.98ata despite what a former poster on the BB's liked to claim.

handy169 · « **Reply #24 on:** November 09, 2006, 11:12:36 AM »

yes there was like 78 produced and delivered from my understanding but never flew from my understanding

Various things have come up -

A document dated March 45 showing the 'intention' to use 1.98ata for ALL K4 units.

A document dated end March 1945 showing them still using the B4 fuel, so no 1.98ata.

So you would have to believe between the end of March 45 and the end of the war in ealry/mid May they managed to convert them.

Bearing in mind the C3 fuel required for them was scarce, and allocated to the 190 units anyway.

It has a been a big bone of contention.

Got a feeling I know where the 78 came from.
Same guy who has been trying to prove K4's used Flettners also, despite being shown they were ALL locked shut on K4's.
