This P39 is gonna be fun
« on: March 19, 2008, 06:25:39 PM »
All kinds of new ways to wreck airplanes.  Great fire and Pilot Wounds.  Much more blood.  And the broken nose gear strut is a nice touch.

All landing takes on an all new meaning...er...well....kinda :rofl

Was a good time in the TA last night as  pilots tried to learn to fly the new bird. And some pilots tried to learn what would kill the new bird.  :)

<S> Bighorn, really appreciate the time sir.

37mm hitting a GV makes a nice looking fireball. I used the 50s the most and only ran out of 37mm once.

What did HT set the ENY to on this baby?  I haven't had a chance to get on yet.

P39 was my vote back in the day.
