It was very good. No CGI or anything, just a classic documentary.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Thuds remind me of the last Anzio Scenario where I flew 190F8 - fly straight, fly fast, avoid the spits and for cod sake do not turn!

BS you can turn the F8 like a charm !
2 degrees max though :D

It's probably the only plane in game , when fully loaded, rockets,big bomb and fuel, that struggles not to get outturned by a CV.

F8 pilots do not refer their so called wings as wings, but running boards :cool:
