Ah, good, another fancier of Napier Sabre engines
. Nothing like 24 cylinders arranged as an H with 2 cranks
. One of the main reasons I bought EAW was to fly Typhoons and Tempests--too bad that game's AI and campaign structure totally suck
. So, I still want these things in an online game.
>>>>>>>> and yes the Tempest really saw action! since 1944, not like the other uberbirds continually asked for. sorry 1 or 2 Ta152s were thought to have seen action? <<<<<<<<<<<
Right, Tempests spent most of 1944 on V1 intercept duty, then did a lot of ground attack due to absence of German aerial targets by that point. They did chase some jets down, though.
Typhoons, OTOH, so a LOT of action. 400 IAS in 1942 but compression problems from Hell, not to mention tails coming off, engines dying, etc. But still a great plane when it was working.
Neither was particularly maneuverable, but they were fast, tough, and had big gunz. What else do you need?

You disappeared from the squad, while I was on my Everquest sabatical and I lost your email, get ahold of me, my email is in my profile. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
VERM!!!! Well, as to that, one day while you were gone, Popeye announced w/out warning that he was quitting, busting up MOL, and take the name with him. So the squad scattered. MOL was the only reason I was in WB, so I went back to AW at that point

>>>>>>>>>>>>Early on this board, there was a discussion on planes and which Pyro would include. He said the first Japanese plane would be either a Ki-84 or the N1K2. You can better believe that I was lobbying for ole "Curious George" <<<<<<<<<<<<
Yeah buddy! Would be especially nice to have "Curious George" in AH because Kesmai has recently de-nutted it in AW
