Toad, produce the data, I don't believe it!!!HTC would never make that kind of outlandish set of  errors!!

BTW, PERK THE HURRI!!! NOW!! Clearly it looks overmodeled and it's HO ability has been spoken of on this BBS to the point it will make the chog look like a popsicle cat!!

Actually, Hristo, there's more to it than that.

I wanted to be FIRST with a new LW whine.

Not an easy thing to do, as you well know.

Well, you should have done it right then.

Armor plate is the way to go  ;).

Boooooooooooooring

Fly straight. Hope no one sees you. Rip them up with 30's.

Alternatively: dive. hope the enemy doesn't see you. Rip him up with 30's.

Or: Fly straight. The enemy sees you, extend for 10 miles, then come back. Repeat

Or even: Or: dive. The enemy sees you, slowly pull out of the dive, extend for 10 miles, then come back. Repeat.

Sure it's untouchable. But is it fun?  :).

It'd kick the Meteor's arse any day btw :=)

I am no expert in the abilies of the ME262. However if its anything like what I have heard in the past, it cannot turn worth a chit. But I guess the 4x 30MM would be great for hunting buffs, if your willing to risk the perks. BTW what kind of fuel efficency do you think it will have? I mean about how many miles (IN AH) will it go on a Full tank without DT's, if they are even a option????

Range was greater than 109, and I think it could take 2 DTs.

 Awesome graphics HTC. Both the ME and the Hurri look fantastic.

Had to go with what I knew would be popular LW whines. Admittedly, they are the old standbys. But there was a need for speed; only beat you by :46 as it was.

I could afford to let the esoteric stuff wait for a true professional.

Well, you definitely are a talent.

Too bad you belong to the bright side which simply cannot whine.

BTW, anyone have a pic of 262 with pilot armor ? Hard to find, it seems.

You are far too kind.

I know I have no real talent as a whiner but it's nice of you to try and salve my feelings.

Guess I just wasn't born "LW" enough.

I know the "masters" when I read them though.

I'll look. Was that a field mod or factory selectable option?

 I do have a picture of a production P 47D-r11 with the waste gates altered in the field for much higher MAP which gave it greatly improved performance and a paddle blade prop.

I could be wrong here, but isn't this the preferred method of the he-man, 109 Luftwaffle pilots?  In the latest survery, 9 out of 10 Leather-wearing "real" cyber-pilots (read 109) preferred this method of "fun".   :D

In the same survery in a follow-up question 8 out of 10 he-man, "real" cyber-pilots (read those who fly waffle irons in their leather pajamas, while making cute little putt-putt sounds) said only the really super-duper, highly skilled pixel pilots fly the planes with those little cross thingies on their skinny wings.

As an extra bonus question in this survey, these most talented of all pixel pushers said that the luftwaffles are getting the shaft in every sim ever made and every sim that will be made.  This question had a surprising 10 out of 10.  And in the best tradition of the oppressed called everyone else a chog/niki/spit/pony/c-47/ dweeb.

The only exceptions to this poll were the Assassins, they couldn't figure out how to fill it out.  :)

Hmmm...maybe I should cut down on the caffiene.  :)
