I see two photos. One with the 20mm inboard and one with it outboard. I read a reply form pyro that explains both occurances and both photos support that.

I read something from someone else that only supports one of the photos and not the other.

I wonder who I'd put my money on in this situation.

So... when is 1.09 going to be released? Now that everyone is looking at this thread!:D 2 weeks?!

Ok ok, just need to ask something here.

I know it maybe stupid question but I thought SNAFU stands for Situation Normal All F#@$# UP.

If that is the case, then Visual Snafu to me amkes no sense, call me a brit and pick my nose but isn't it meant to be Usual Snafu?

Yes Moose, that is the most authentically restored B-25 in flyable condition. Though it has not flown in a couple of years nor will it be anytime soon. Jim Cavanaugh has stuck to his word in that he would only fly it for 2 years after its restoration. That's an example of an aircraft that is too historically valuable to continue to fly. Black 6, the Bf-109G2 that was the most original flyable 109 should have been taken off flying status long before its accident.

"So yes I do have first hand knowledge of the armament configuration being slightly different than depicted here, so started this thread. I just didn't expect to get jumped on like I was flying an Ar-234 through a fur ball.
"
But you see you landed here being the very interesting combination of incorrect and inpolite. You touted off a bunch of nonsence and insulted people while you did it. Nice troll technique but hardly the way to garner respect if that is what you are after. No matter how long you have spent sitting on or walking around or polishing spitfires, you dont know the fundimental characteristic of E wing spits that Pyro corrected you on. When there is a 50 Cal it is mounted in board of the 20mm. When there is no 50, the 20mm is typically mounted inboard..
Could there be variations..yes but the standard case is what Pyro implemented in AH. And your nit pick is incorrect. So your store of credibility is depleted in a poor cause, which judging by the resume you posted for us, is important to you.

Hey Pongo, lighten up... but thanks for your post. If ever I need the omnipotent arrogant point of view, I now know whom to ask.

Pongo · « **Reply #40 on:** March 11, 2002, 07:24:03 PM »

No prob ewe. Or you could save time and review your posts in this thread. Or did you want accurate and arrogant?

Is the 4 20mm loadout option ever going to be added for the Spit V and Seafire?

If not, why not?

(Polite question)

Head for cover!

Spit 21's had 4*20mm standard.

*drool* spit21 *drool*

Spit's 14's also had 4*20mm optional aswell as the standard 2*20mm and 2*.50cal loadout.

Would be nice too see spitV 4*20mm loadout too. Oh yes, spitVC's had 4*20mm loadout *drool* 2,447 built too- oughta be modelled in AH.

dunno how manyof the 2,447 VC's were 4 cannon armed tho- anyone have the numbers?
