More than anything I love the camera work. Is that IR Tracker? I need to get one of those.

I've seen pictures of the inside of a Betty, just a hollow tube. Nothing to hit but a few crew members and some crates. My first runs on the Betty with a -51 included pouring rounds into the fueslage and seeing the same results. Second pass I aimed at the wings and almost instantly started the kiss of death flames.

I think the big story is when are we getting the Me-410. Seriously Skuzzy, let's get with the program here. I still want an F8F Bearcat or the German Arrow fighter (push/pull) but alas, since they didn't make combat apparently this isn't to be.

Reviewing your score--- I can't say I believe that *you* know where to hit aircraft... Maybe more time in the cockpit and less time trolling on the message board might be warranted?   :neener:

A little more time on the message board for you and you'd realize that by typing this you've just signed up for a heap of grief :)

The fuel tanks are in the wings though, shooting the fuselage isn't the best way to kill a G4M.
its not just tanks in the wings karnak, the wings are tanks themselves... They put a fuel bladder AROUND the fuel tanks in the wings for the required long distance 2 engine bomber the Japanese navy wanted. a tracer round to the wing and the G4M is dead no matter what. Though i believe a tater to the fuselage should damage it more than that?


(Its kinda funny that if Mitsubishi got to build their 4 engined Betty like they wanted to, it would have had self sealing tanks, armor, and 20mm cannons for all defensive armaments :rofl ) Those darn Imperial Japanese commanders! What were they thinking?!

(also, i love this one... The Betty's engine out did a B17G's engine by (150-200?) HP each) :rofl

Eh, the people with the fewest posts seem to care more about post count that anyone else.  They take pride in it for some reason.

Oh well, here's a dancing banana:   :banana:

I couldn't find where to send it originally, and since I haven't been verbally abused in a while, I posted here :)

As of a couple hours ago, the full film and all detail has been sent to support@hitechcreations.com for review.
