ITS THE ARADO!
« Reply #60 on: January 26, 2001, 03:06:00 AM »
Ive watched this damn tape 3 times now, and in fact it said the PROTOTYPES had the skids. The PRODUCTION models widened the fuselage to accommodate tricycle landing gear, but it shortened the fuel capacity, hence the reduction of range to 1000 miles. (even with rocket assisted takeoff)

 They then even towed a "winged fuel tank" to extend range. What a waste.

End result is, what a worthless, fuel pig, and I can't wait to blast 450 kts across the pond!

I have stood inches from the bombsight of the Smithsonian Arado, which is actually kept right now at the Garber Facility.

Of course I was looking from the outside thru the plexiglass nose.... but hey, it was still BEAUTIFUL!

Isn't the Me-262 going to be modeled as a perk plane or some other type of jet fighter?  Can't that be used to chase down the Ar-234?

Bah, I don't need no steenkin' ME 262!  With a few extra thousand feet of altitude, my Jug will be the perfect Arado killer.  

It's gonna be really easy meat when I get my P-47N.

BMF, it is explained to the left, when you make a reply, in the "ubb code.."-link how to post pics. You need to have the pic placed somewhere on the net, either your own homepage or or somewhere else (right click and copy link location of pic). You can't add pics directly from your harddrive.

The reason the AR-234 are not in the game you downloaded (v1.05p5) is that this is just a pre-view of the planes that will be in v1.06
