F8F Bearcat

[indian]

Yea gorf the F15 photo was a joke also never wanted it. This is a prop sim game and only prop planes should be in it we dont need a 262 we may not need a F8F but it would be fun to try it. Im not a fraide to see any plane added to the game, I dont have the WB mentality that if it didnt see combat it cant be added. This is a WWII era combat sim, Im willing to bet there aint many out there playing this game that was alive during WWII, much less fight in it. So if you werent there and didnt see combat you shouldnt be able to play, its the same thing as saying a plane didnt see combat so it cant be in it. You will see the mentality of some of the guys out there when they post to these threads the want it thier way and only thier way. I want it all give me every damn plane that was made during WWII and lets go to war!!!!! All chickens check your wings at the door.

Indian,
AGREED with everything you said.  And by the way, got a kick on the F15 pic.  Also, one thing that is a major pet peeve of mine is when people get on line and say that the ??plane is not modeled correctly.  How in the hell due they know! They never flown it.  One guy said..WELL I GOT a pilots liscense.. errr Cessnas dont count as a Typhoon. ANyway, I have whined about this topic once BUT I had proof that I was right, My brother Grandpa-inlaw flew with the 23rd Fighter Group in Asia and he flew P-40, P-51, P-38, and P-47. He a big sim buff, and one thing he sasy that the P-47 is the one plane that is almost under modeled in every sim.  Said the P-47 was the Cadillac of the skies for comfort and smooth ride of any of the fighters he flew.  ANyway,,  went WAYYYYY of the subject for this posting.  I agree, it would be FUN to fly the F8F in AH. NOt afraid of having any WWII plane put into the arena because its the PILOT not the plane that make you an Ace.

My pet goldfish has had exactly the same effect on the outcome of WW2 as the F8F hence it should be modelled. I do though accept that every other plane who fired a shot or flew a combat mission in WW2 should be modelled before it.

Yah but did your GoldFish, I assume it was a MkII chinese built model, with the gold finish, see combat????

GoldFish is still a prop plane, so it should be there, regardless if it saw combat or not !! At least its aquarium was on the way to frontline when Japan surrendered. And we all know GoldFish pilots were not just rushed into action like those sneaky LW youngsters...no, they were fully trained and well prepared before going into combat  

Now if only Germans knew that WW2 flight sims would have no 262s, they would have probably concentrated more on Me 209s and such

Unfortunately, Hristo, isn't a Goldfish at all... it's a Pirana and it's going to eat all the Goldfish in the aquarium.  Of course, then the only thing left in the tank would be Pirana... but, hey, they can eat each other and console each other with the thought that aquarium pH balance isn't important.  And, of course, the idea that other aquarium owners might want more than just Pirana isn't important... so long as all the other fish in the tank are realistically dead, that's all that matters to the Pirana.

 

PS - Anyone want a set of horse blinders to complement their tunnel vision?

But Snake Eyes, you are forgetting that life for a Pirana is not all that easy. It sure has a deadly bite, but it has to get close to make it work. Any half-decent fish can deny Pirana the bite all day. And Pirana is no turner. Once it loses its speed in frustration, it will die even to the youngest of GoldFishes. And what about all those gull winged Hispano GoldFishes ? They are more deadly than Piranas, with their bite extending as far as 3 times the bite of a Pirana. No, Pirana can make it s living only against unaware fish, playing turngames at the bottom. Its greatest quality lies in ability to choose when it wants to fight, but hardly more than that.

[SnakeEyes]

You really should try a WB Jet Day or an ETO HA with the 262 enabled.  

Again, I agree that it should be modeled at some point, but its inclusion has to be bounded by alot more checks and balances than Brand W.

Ok, you can have your Goldfish, you can have your Piranha, you can even have a Barracuda.

I Want the Great White Shark modeled NOW !!!

WB Jet Day is great!  One of the only thing that kept that outdated software on my HD for so long!

LOL..
they definatly wouldnt have snubed their noses at the hispano factory in france either.. All the crappy french stuff the germans interned and used, and they left the hispano cannons in the crates...
Hitlers asrologist must have told him not to allow the LW to use them or something.
