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.

Yet April is the same time the all these 152 are buzzing around Thats by all you experts? The fact is we simply do not know...... and 1 chance encounter prolly means there more around <like cops>.We can see that there was a cannon version with lots of dirt and oil stains, making it more possible than just a prototype wouldnt you say?I would,
And .....(Image removed from quote.) NO
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.
Though about half of them were of the civillian version used by the Lufthansa (Image removed from quote.)
It was a 'run-like Hades' story with a 'whew' ending for the German test pilot if it's the same story I think I kinda recall.
Yes, that one I'm going off the one and only story I've read of it being sited, unconfirmed and by a pilot that apparently liked to spice up stories, and that single Do 335 only. No other encounters that day mention two, thats an assumption on your part that maybe 1 was in the area and then we can assume it was escorted by He162's while were at it. Find service records of it's operational use is all you have to do. You'd have better luck with the F7F and F8F.Here is another thread on the Do 335, you can play the part of EVZ. http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,326133.0.html
the thing about the F7F though is it was in a squadron and in route to okinawa from iwo jima the day the japanese surrendered. that that is clearly in service during the second world war. despite what gyrene saying as "active squadron" any squadron in a combat zone is an active squadron.
Wow I find it hard to believe it has been almost 38 days since our last path. We should have release another 38 versions by now HiTechQuote from: PyroQuote from: JollyWhat on Earth makes you think that i said that sir?!My guess would be scotch.
