i have a problem with this statement fulamr:) . there is no piont flying a plane like the typhoon low nd slow as it has fugg all of a turnign circle, the plane is flied best when it is able to dive down and catch some speed. so you can't really call ppl names for flying planes the best way. although when you see 20k LALA's i would consider it to be an 'alt monkey' because a) the lala stinks at that hieght, and b) lala is one of the easiest planes to fly and there is no need for alt.

The Typhoon wasn't designed to be a tankbuster.

the millenium Dome was designed to be a museum and futuristic avtivity land, now its just a performing arena.

basically, no it wasnt orginally designed but it evolved into a 'tankbuster'.

The same question applies to the Panzer IV, is it possible to "remodel" (edit) it so that we could have the D model from 1939?  

- SEAGOON

I do not think that is really possible each and every single model of tanks had numerous changes in design including armor, cupola, completely redone gun statistics,ball mount of mg34 in hull, plus a few visual corrections such as access doors, and extra vision ports. It would probably require a real good makeover of the tank to recreate a model of the PzKpfW IV Ausf D

Bombphoons and Rocketphoons (with 60lb rockets) were very effective in killing tanks.

One squadron commander didn't ask them how they did on a return from a mission, but how many tanks they killed.

A rough guide -
Mossies with the same rockets were reckoned to have the same punch as a light cruiser.

Kev a link you should read, http://web.telia.com/~u18313395/normandy/articles/airpower.html

The warhead on the 60lb rockets were 6" shells.


Nilsen, believe it, the Typhoon only had 2 hardpoints. You need to brush up on your a/c IDing.

It was a typhoon

[MiloMorai]

You know that the Fw190, P-47 and Typhoon were all mis Ided with each other.

[Nilsen]

yup.. but none other than the typhoon had that radiator chin thingie..


The short vid was from behind and below. I have narrowed it down to one show i think and ill look for it further. It was the last operational sortie of some RAF squad attacking shipping bound for norway with officals and fleeing german troops off the german coast althought the vid may ofcourse have nothing to do with what the guy was talking about.

It could have been an experimental version, not bombs but pods with gear, dt's.

I was really baffled when i saw it the first time, and the second time i had a better look. I know this sounds wierd.

[Larry]

These big arse rockets are only 60lbs?

[Nilsen]

the warhead is prolly 60lb

[Laurie]

The onesin AH are nowhere near as good/big as they should be judging by that photo.

once again we ahve another occuranceof british planes being toned down for some reason beyond me.

We have a weak spit 16model,(underpowered, reduced boost)
a morphed seafire
our typhoon should have 7 lb's of boost for half an hour(it was an hour in real life)
we dont have any '44 or '45 RAF planes, and the '43 one is 5 ENY when the mustang -D is 8. go figure.

sorry for the hiijack......
