HTC, what else to look forward to?
« on: November 30, 2001, 04:58:00 AM »
Hello All,

I know we are getting the Ki-67, but can (will) you let some hints loose about what other airframes we can start drooling over for 1.09?  I am getting a little dry in the
information bottle!

Many Thanks for some excellent work

Four ship bomber formations per player.  Redesigned bombsites that are LESS accurate, and redesigned strategic targets that require a severe pounding by lots and lots of bombs to destroy.

AKA, strategic saturation bombing instead of single bomb pinpoint accuracy.

Other than the Ki67, not much else.  There are rumors of a Russian bomber and cargo ship/barges as well.

Looking at the P-51 H, a question comes into mind. What was the maximum speed a prop driven plane ever reached? Cos 487mph must be near the sound barrier. Has any prop plane ever broken mach 1? Also, anyone know what the limiting factor is in prop planes? Is it aerodynamic, weight or the prop not having enough power??

I think it would be intersting to know...    :cool:

BTW, the plane I would really like to see in this game...


 

How about it HT?  :p

To my knowledge, no prop plane ever broke the sound barrier, which is much higher than 487 mph.

At normal atmospheric pressure and a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, a sound wave will travel at approximately 343 m/s; this is approximately equal to 750 miles/hour

You mean "no prop plane ever broke the sound barrier in level flight ..."  right?

Of course, Rip.

Hell, I've broken the sound barrier several times on AH, in a B-26...no wings, no tail, nose perpendicular to the ground. 750 MPh....No problem. Of course, I was no longer a prop plane at the time. I was more like a meteor.

Cc, sound barrier alot higher then 480. There were stories about some WW2 planes who broke the sound barrier in dives, the pilots didn't live to tell about it though. RAF did alot of tests after the war, they took Griffon Spitfires, climbed like hell and then dove em straight down, most of the pilots who did this died, without reaching teh sound barrier. Allmost all, if not all planes got wrecked.
