Ripsnort:
that link you provided http://www.nova.org/~sol/core/deanfile/SHIP0028.HTM

...says the typhoon carried:

18*launch rails, 4*20mm autocannons w/1200rds, Typical external
ordnance load=18 12cm rockets

LOL! can you imagine the typhoon with 1200rds of 20mm and 18 rockets?!!!

oh my, you thought f4u1c could spray, if this is true (which I doubt) you would see a lot more typhoons flying and spraying around than f4u1c's.

Citibria: I believe that's 1200 rounds total, or 300 per gun. Not a bad loadout, nontheless. Now, was that 18 separate launch rails? I'd love to have that many rockets (with my marksmanship with rockets, I need that many just hit anything

).

Huh? You mean no for 1.03 or no as in "never"?

How can you say no to photographic proof?

Say it ain't so, Pyro!

For the first time in my AH career, I've been forced to crack open an aviation book from my childhood.

Ahem, according to Combat Aircraft of the World by John W.R. Taylor (1969 G.P. Putnam's & Sons, page 391):

Typhoon Mk IB
Max speed: 412mph
At Height: 19,000ft
Service Ceiling: 35,200 ft
Combat range(miles): 980 with drop tanks!!!!

Not this version, or at least very unlikely to make it.

Most plans are just inaccurate predictions.

But eventually yes? You have to rework the .ord types for the Typhoon I guess, seperating the rocket and bomb/DT pylons?

No problem, 1.03 has got some kick-ass features and I'm glad you guys are spending time on those.

Wanker · « **Reply #26 on:** June 14, 2000, 07:44:00 AM »

Whew! Ok, thanks for the clarification. As long as they eventually make it into the game at some point.

<Punt>!

1.04? Yes?

Ok, I've asked this before, and I'll ask it again:

What the F^@% does "Punt" mean?

Its just a way to kick ("Punt") the topic to the top of the board.
