I'm working to find the flight-test data.

So far, I'm having problems finding C_L vs. AoA -- any help there is appreciated.  Also, I found one source on critical mach.  Dragon enthusiasts will likely complain that the dragon sheds parts at too low a speed, so if anyone has more sources there, it would be good.

We definitely want them for scenarios, though, and are already working on a scenario based on the historical engagement in the movie cited by Waffle.

I'm worried as to how HTC will model the dragons fire breath. Will it be explosive bolts or a napalm effect? Also will we have to RTB and land on the pad to rearm or can we just go to the nearest town and eat villagers to refuel?

Don't worry, there are quite a few Dora pile it's that can teach you how to out run them.

Absolutely!

The scenario design is taking shape nicely.  Look for "Lair of the Dragons" scenario sometime in the first half of next year.

Clearly those dragons are undermodeled and should have been easily able to cause the ponies to overshoot simply by tucking in their wings and dropping

That film is as historically accurate as Redtails was.  Same writer/director team?

Luft-Dragons will just get the same feedback K4's do now:  "It flies like a UFO, but I can't hit anything with it."

For those of us playing this game for well over a decade, Aces High is more of a social club. The game just provides the framework. I keep logging in for the people and Pipz was the kind that you keep coming to meet again.

Funny....Michael Wacha has a pitch like that...

How in the world do straight-to-DVD PsOS like that ever get financed?

 :bhead

And how on earth do the actors grit their teeth long enough to get through the shoot? "So, OK, I'm upset because my best bud just got shot down by a Nazi dragon, and I'm, uh, trying to tell his girl, and uh,

o jeez just gimme the bong again."
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
