remember indiana jones it was this air craft that made a big impact during that film

the flying wing could carry 3x 3000lb bombs

it could fly 1000 naut miles

it could be adapted to take of from a cv if wings were hinged

it was a great aircraft capable of 600 mph in a dive with 4 nose mounted cannon

Alrighty Captain Shadespam, did it see combat? Was it in squadron strength?  Thought so.

Sorry, but it doesn't fulfill the the requirements to be put into the game. One of the basic requirements is that it had to have seen combat. Which it didn't.




To everyone else, lay off of him just this once or at least be helpful instead of flaming. Actually, it would be great if someone could post all the requirements for entry.

Looks like I was too late.

Hes actually listing 4 different aircraft here...  let me fix:

Role Fighter/Bomber

Number built 3

Role Glider
National origin Germany
Manufacturer Horten Flugzeugbau

But there are no model numbers listed.  Its not had to assume the first one is the HO-229.  The second is the HO H.III.  The third... the "Hoffman Flying Wing".  And the fourth is the "Baynes Bat".  The first was jet powered and only experimental.  The other 3 are all gliders.   None of them saw service as far as I know.

And for the record... the info you have posted david is a direct copy and paste from 4 wikipedia pages.  If you want to be taken in the least bit seriously... do your research.  Simply copying and pasting is pretty obvious to everyone... and will only earn you more scorn and ridicule.

Oh and good call on removing the link to picture of the XB-35 before anyone else saw it  

[MAINER]

Nope all of them had under 4 built and never saw combat. They were all prototypes. what was there purpose? fighter, bomber, recon? Please listen to us when we tell you the requirements and believe me we have...

[4Prop]

once again..the child still hasnt learned that there is requirements for somthing to be added to the game.

we get your ambition. cool..but even after u make a legitamate idea i doubt it will even be added. so all you are doing is wasting your time honestly

[davidwales]

ok i did get the info of wiki, but i have read about its role in books which i cant copy and paste , it says in my aircraft for the luftwaffe , that it was designed to carry 3 1000lb bombs and it says it was built, to attack allied aircraft during the battle of britain but its cooling system was so fragile , that 1 bullet woould see it unfit for action, and production ceased , but was a major threat , as there was proto types ready for action .

take a picture with your camera phone.  also make a reference to the book including page number and paragraph.  believe it not lots of people here have lots of books too.  just trying to help you out.  but onerously people like to have planes that actually saw combat.

[davidwales]

ok ill do that then if you guys say what aircraft you want ill email you all the info , i got loads of aircraft books .

[Vadjan-Sama]

i cant see anbody in this forum who has asked for the flying wing yet

Ok kid, just be sure to read this before you post something again... Why nobody asked for them?

They need to be at least:

1.- In Squadron Strength

2.- Saw Combat (for this its mean he needs to open fire to any enemy)

A PROTOTYPE: 1, or 2 even 3 planes isn't Squadron Strength even so, they never saw combat so stop trolling, if you want to ask for something be sure that they got those 2 points and then read about them and not only in wikipedia, then you post the plane, specs, and some pics... until then be sure to stay away from the BBS.

Most of us do as well, but here's some info for ya: read the books and if you think a plane should be added, see how many planes were produced, by which companies and what data they provide on them, then copy that data onto here and try to provide some photos. Make sure you also add the book title and author, this helps other cross reference the data to make sure its close to correct. As others said - it needs to be squadron strength and in combat.

If you want an example, look up the He-111 or Wellington Bomber.

It would behoove one and all to ignore and not reply to posts in this particular forum from some people.

Otherwise, all I'm seeing is

Instead of those... what we really need... is this:

P-262 Thunderkitty






The Curtiss P-262 Thunderkitty was produced by integrating stolen, then retrofitted German jet technology into the existing airframe of the P-40 KittyHawk.  Substantial hardening of the airframe was required to produce the P-262, and while a 3 engine version was built and flown only as a prototype, the 2 engine version saw over 250 produced, and were assigned to squadron duty in the Pacific theater starting in February of 1945.

Surprisingly, the P-40 airframe adapted quite well to the jet technology, and was later used as a test plane during testing for the F-86 Sabre… which was based almost completely upon its design.
