It'd really be funny to see the vulching breed eradicated this way

Course then you'd have them waiting in medium base orbit waiting for jato/rato to wear off and swoop in in a timely manner

"It'd really be funny to see the vulching breed eradicated this way"

How about the idiots that try to take off from a capped field and then squeak about people vulching them......they should fly too

If we're getting JATO in 1.06, there's only ONE reason for it.

The Me323 Gigant, which often used JATO packs to assist during takeoff.

Fingers crossed

Actually JATO is needed for Ar 234 blitz which used it too.

when did the arado ever need them??

I think Jigster was referring to people that only fly to bases that are ack-suppressed, hoping to run up those big streaks in a "defensively diminished, optimum opportunity" environment.

SwampRat, theWobble... you're both wrong.

The first thing you should know about the Legend of the Rocket Car is that it's been around longer than most people think. It started years ago, as a vague rumor passed from one guy to the next by word of mouth, usually in bars or during lunch-break roadkill sessions. The kind of story someone hears from a friend who read it in a magazine a long time ago. It's a story that comes out of nowhere, gets passed around for a while, then dies out. And whenever it flickers back to life, it seems to spread like a grass fire. I used to think it was funny how it managed to spread so fast purely by word of mouth, but now that it's become a subject of Internet interest, its popularity is downright spooky.

Read the rest here.
