GRUNHERZ, please point out the whine in that statement?
He merely pointed out the fact that the D-11 thread got him to thinking, nothing more, nothing less.
Fact is, I would love to see an arena set aside for just such aircraft, of ALL countries. Criteria? Proof that a plane was set up that way for combat AND that the mods in question were commonly used. Did say, 60% of the 109G6's use MW-50, and GM-1 in unison? Great! Model a G6 that way. You say the Jug should have 68-72" MAP and paddle prop? Uh huh........show me the proof. Oh? You have testimonies from P&W techs and Republics techs who say it was commonly done? And, you have data supporting that from pilots from the "ABC" FG? Okay, let's give it a whirl.
Same criteria for all planes.
And before ya say it, gonna call BS on the "a pilot's word is not any good", 'cause we been reading about what LW pilots said forever, how their plane was this, it did that, and because THEY said it, it has to be true. But an American pilot's memoirs(???) of his combat experience is unreliable?
Give the idea a chance, GRUN!
