Why the B25? Yossarian! yay!
« on: April 09, 2007, 09:01:04 AM »
many have asked "oh great god, vishnu, or allah, why do the evil doers of AH2 plauge us with democracy and then crap planes?"




the reason is simple.


Catch-22.









READ BOOKS! you might appriciate the mitchell more. Catch-22 is a hilarious but starkly scary book, a must read!

OK, I have to admit that I really thought the P-39 was a shoe-in!  So the new plane is the Mitchell huh?  z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z

The film is poor.

The book is a classic.

Dowding is spot on.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Im amazed the B25 won, thought most AH players wanted a plane sooner rather than later, as it is the b25 will take much longer to make than the P39!
