RV-8 With Gatling Cannons
« on: July 28, 2010, 10:11:58 PM »
I noticed that our famous, yellow, peaceful, and "unarmed" RV-8 has 2 gatling canons.







HiTech can you teach us how to use them and allow it in the MA?  :devil  :bolt:

Do you really think that I'm asking to put this in the MA?
I just found them and posted a picture, as I thought before they were unarmed.

Ya'll have got to admit those was two of the best EVIL CON's he has produced, well the sheeps with the quad 50's the year the ME262 came out was pretty good too, and the PizzaMan throwing pizzas at you, well I don't know though the flying Pt boats that took off at 30,000 fpm and then stop inverted and fired all guns at pursuing planes, that was a hoot too especially when you saw it on a 6' x 6' screen up on the wall,   HECK I have enjoyed every one of them.


LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS FALL FOR THE NEXT ONE ! ! ! ! !

I can't imagine where I would get such an idea.

That was meant to be a joke, that's why it had a smiley attached to it.

I've never had the fortune of being on for an evil con mission. Someone please explain it, and, more to the point, when will the next one be?

 The best evil con mission was the flying PT boats...  Might be because HT tried to take my B-26's down and I got 5 kills on him and landed them. :P

The truth is often revealed in jest, you closet Rv-8 w/cannon/ laser-f***in'-beam equipped shark luster.

I just want them to tie the opponents to a virtual tether so that the fly in predictable circles so that I can blow them from the sky without risk or challenge - like exterminating caged rats, then shout my uberness from the rooftops. I'm honest that way, though. You probably would rather hide behind some semantics.  :)

You might want to try playing Space Invaders. It's this old 80's game where you get to kill large numbers of virtually defenseless cartoons. Wrongway and I will hang around here and talk about boring aircraft-y type stuff. Maybe we should start a new arena - one in which Machfly gets an RV-8 equipped with a Vulcan and everyone else flies WWII stuff speed-limited to just above stall.

I'm sure HTC wil comply with such a request. After that, they can go back to prepping that vintage Triumph for the jump over the shark tank.

Just kidding, Machfly. I found the reaction to your fairly innocent observation to be amusing, to say the least.
Some say revenge is a dish best served cold. I say it's usually best served hot, chunky, and foaming. Eventually, you will all die in my vengeance vomit firestorm.
