The next plane to be introduced/updated and shown on the front page...

[Simba]

I'm with Mano 'n' Chilli, about time the WW1 Arena began to be expanded to its full potential.

First a PROPER SE5a, not that funky li'l replica - here's the Shuttleworth Trust's example getting airborne at Old Warden airfield:



For the RFC in 1917 (and RNAS, if ever we get a 'flying-off platform' on which to take our biplanes out to sea), I give you - the Sopwith Pup:



And, last for now but by no means least, the most important type of WW1 aircraft when it came to killing the maximum number of enemy - the artillery-spotter, here exemplified by the ubiquitous RAF RE8 'Harry Tate':



The Huns to have their own equivalent favourites as well of course; Albatros single- and two-seaters of various marks in particular.

If HT will build them and a more realistic WW1 Arena than the present simplistic Furballer's Benefit, they will come.

It's a long way to Tipperary-e-e-e-e- . . .

AHAHAA Russia's attempt to copy the P-51 's Performance But very nearly got it as well.

Well i call it a copy as from some angle's and a distance it would look similar to the P-51

i was scrolling through the page really fast and i thought that was a 51 until i looked at it more

And for the ww1 arena i shall be looking for info on Gotha's And the RFC's early planes aswell as medium bomber's

I would really like to see one of the following:

Me410
Beaufighter
Ki-43
G4M2

[Wmaker]

Me410
Beaufighter
Ki-43
G4M2

Sounds like a good compromise, best of both words. But I think VVS is far too big player to be neglected in the near future.

You're right.  Toss the Pe-2 and Tu-2 onto the list.

I don't think we're getting the beaufighter, unless they pull another 47M on us. They have to be working hard on the new town and field, not to mention the new field guns  .


Personally, I feel the biggest holes in the line up are the Russians fighters (and bombers to a more limited extent), the Italians need more of everything, and the Japanese need a few more fighters, and the G4M before we have a reall pacific theater lineup.

OK, hold the flamethrowers on this one, I'm just tacking it on at the end of my post.

I was bombing with a B5N, and I hit the 'look forward'. What happens? You see the bulkhead, and windows and all that good stuff.

I got to thinking, one of the big objections (well, one that isn't just speculation anyway) is how to model the remote control guns. Clearly we can slave head positions to a certian area, and limit their movment, and have this for multiple possitions. We also have windows that you can see through (B5N, and the Ju-87's floor window). So why not put a window where the gun cam was, have something like the bombsite, where you can't see the surounding interior of the plane, and slave the head possitions to wherever the gunner was seated?


Sorry about the Hijack, I just didn't think this needed a new thread.
