I agree.  IMHO the biggest success of the strategic bombing campaign was not the bombing results but the pulverization of the Luftwaffe.  If the Luftwaffe had been able to deploy a full-strength close air support effort against the Normandy invasion, it would have been nasty.  Likewise if the USSR had not hammered the bulk of the Wehrmacht for three years, I don't think the invasion would have even been attempted.

Holy piss, you just actived the Skuzzy "Dont punt old threads" signal



One question - Why on earth would you punt an 8 year old thread just to say "Whoa, this thread is 8 years old!"

As to the TAS vs IAS stuff, I've grown pretty weary of it.  It's not intuitive for people to know the difference and most people don't keep a whiz wheel handy to make the conversions.  So what we've decided to do is add a secondary gauge to the airspeed indicator for TAS.  It will show up as a little extra tick mark much like the 10K needle on the altimeter.  Hopefully, that will put an end to the "why are the planes 200mph slow" questions for the most part.

 


Pyro,

I haven't played since AH1 (when the 38J and G were introduced) and recently im seeing the game again with the 2 week trial.

Are the speed gauges now any different from AH1? Jus' wondering.

Necormancer has a supernatural ability to bring long-dead forum discussion threads back to life. After having been flogged to death the thread may have been deceased for many years, and bringing it back may have scant relevance to the current topic, yet Necromancer will unexpectedly exhume the thread’s rotting corpse, and strike horror in the forum as its grotesque form lurches into the discussion. The monster, instantly recognized by all who knew it in life, seems at first to breathe and have a pulse, but, alas, it is beyond Necromancer’s skill to fully restore the thread’s original vitality. The hideous apparition may frighten away some of the weaker Warriors or Warriors badly wounded in former battles, but the thread is only a shadow of its former self and very quickly expires.

:rofl :rofl :rofl

At least you picked the right time of year to bring this one back.

I worked in a veterans hospital for years.. This is not a popular point of veiw but, it is one that was shared with me MANY times by men who flew the plane.. Most of them I would gestimate 85% felt the P-51 was exceptional as a long range escort plane but, in the overall grand scheme of things was CRAP.  Ive heard multiple stories of its inability too withstand any kind of damage and return home and also the danger of the fragile liquid cooled engine.. Most of the guys would have rather been back in their thunderbolts over the poney.. One guy even called it and I quote "the brits attempt too get back at us for F***king their girls."
Enjoy your plane at least you didnt have too risk your neck in one over the skies of germany during wwII.
