Just say NO to

Its been a while and the message has been deleted from my inbox, but i did find it in an old post on the forums

Now im sure someone will say that service means shooting at the enemy. but seeing service can also mean entering into service during WW2 aswell. and there are many aircraft that do fit that profile. but the 335 does not. it was still in prototype stage.

good find. entering service would be deployed to active squadrons...at least in u.s. terms. there were a number of planes that went "production" to varying degrees but never were distributed to active squadrons.


*edit* i see photospammer Arlo did his thing again...

[Zacherof]

Lol damn Germans spent alof of time and resources for their designs

Enjoy. I will never have to take that much time on a similar post again. It's recyclable. Feel free to use it, yourownself. Y'welcome.

[Skuzzy]

never saw either say that...you got a link?

I'd like to see that myself.

[Arlo]

We will not waste time modeling 1946 super-duper aliens helping the Germans win WWII in an alternate reality setting type stuff.

(Ok, I made that up. Forgive me, Skuz.)

Skuzzy you yourself said in the MA that there is "No standing rule for aircraft inclusion".

Skuzzy you yourself said in the MA that there is "No standing rule for aircraft inclusion".

I do not recall saying that.  However, assuming I did, for giggles.  It would have been in the context of Pyro makes the decision on what is included in the game and there are far more variables than simply whether or not the plane saw combat in the war.

I could have easily said, "I do not make the rules...", or "I do not know what all the rules are..." and so on.  For me to say what you claim, I would have had to been under the influence of some really nasty stuff.  I know who makes the rules, I simply do not know what they are.

HT's bribelink: http://www.internetwines.com/pa95154.html

[Megalodon]

 I believe he just got it wrong when he included you he meant HT and Pyro and I believe it was Pryo who made the statement....

anyway... would this count I mean were talkin similar numbers here to the 152.

"The first 10 Do 335 A-0s were delivered for testing in May. By late 1944, the Do 335 A-1 was on the production line. This was similar to the A-0 but with the uprated DB 603 E-1 engines and two underwing hardpoints for additional bombs, drop tanks or guns. It was capable of a maximum speed of 763 km/h (474 mph) at 6,500 m (21,300 ft) with MW 50 boost, or 686 km/h (426 mph) without boost, and able to climb to 8,000 m (26,250 ft) in under 15 minutes. Even with one engine out, it could reach about 563 km/h (350 mph).

Delivery commenced in January 1945. When the United States Army overran the Oberpfaffenhofen factory in late April 1945, only 11 Do 335 A-1 single-seat fighter-bombers and 2 Do 335 A-12 trainers had been completed."

"French ace Pierre Clostermann claimed the first Allied combat encounter with a Do-335 Pfeil in April 1945. In his book The Big Show  he describes leading a flight of four Hawker Tempests from No. 3 Squadron RAF over northern Germany, when he intercepted a lone Do 335 flying at maximum speed at treetop level. Detecting the British aircraft, the German pilot reversed course to evade. Despite the Tempest's considerable low altitude speed, the RAF fighters were not able to catch up or even get into firing position."

forget that and put lots of sheep instead.

  more sheep please... and maybe some sharks with lazer beams

[Skuzzy]

I would be speaking out of turn if I tried to guess, if a plane should or could be included, into the game.  That is up to HiTech and Pyro.

that story has been discussed many times since I've been here and the results every time were a one time chance encounter isn't a combat run for the Do 335.

edit: and going back reading some of those threads that encounter most likely was a test flight with a slight chance of an acceptance flight. there was no where safe air space in Germany to fly prototypes and test planes without the chance of contact with allied forces.
