My new dream.
« on: September 24, 2012, 06:17:47 PM »
After a bull sesion at school today that was inspired by Aces High, I have a new life dream:


To own a full-sized, street-legal replica Tiger tank, and drive it to a job interview.



I would also want to have replicas of the Panzer III, Panzer IV, the Panther (would be my sports car), and the Tiger II.




Anyone else have crazy, improbable, and AH-2 inspired goals.

If you live in the UK, you could drive a tank around town from what iv'e been told.

But now to my "dream" - I want to go skydiving from a B-29 or try to get myself an M4A3E8. (Easy 8 in small terms)


Instead right now I am more concerned with getting the money for a used car + driver's ed. courses. I didn't have the cash for it this school year, so I might take it in the summer.

I would love to find an online game, based on WW2 aircraft that has civilized adults to play it with.

Do you kids even know the going rate, per ton, of tank-grade steel?  :devil  Start saving your pennies.

One of my flight sim related dreams is if I ever win a big, big lottery, I want to build a replica fw190A-8 after first consulting with say, a dozen of the biggest luftwaffe proponents in the game so I am sure to use the appropriate specs.  I will also build a P-51D to the appropriate wartime specs.

I will then hire a couple of test pilots to really wring them out, and will publish the results however it comes out.  One side would then shut up.

I wouldn't have to use tank-grade steel. Government probably wouldn't much fancy me owning something that could stop anything this side of an anti-tank missle or sabot-round.


Honestly, I would make it just thick enough to retain structural integrity on impact with something like a wall.

What model A8? Up-armored and gunned bomber-hunter, early model, mid-model, or one of the late-war but non-up armored versions?

Whichever one they feel was the best, the one that should match up with the P51 in a dogfight.
