Title: Petition for additional P-51 Mustang versions
Post by: SunTracker on April 01, 2005, 03:18:48 PM
If you would like additional P-51 versions, please post in this thread.  The P-51 was a very famous U.S. fighter, and I feel that we should have most versions represented here.  Most versions of the plane had mid to late war performance.  I don't think it would unbalance the game at all.  For our first 'new' versions, I suggest this P-51

Are those jets or flamethrowers? Because if they're jets, that'd be abused. :D

How well did that thing fly?

Did the kill the engine and feather the prop after the jets ignited?

OMG!!! I'm starting a petition to bring flamethrowers to AH!  That would be freakin sweet!  To set a group of 24s ablaze with my p51 from d200 out... muahahahahahhaaha

Then shoot down all of their little fireball parachutes as they bail out!  This is a fantastic idea, I say we do it!  :aok

too bad you'd set yourself on fire with the flamethrowers, unless they were mounted to shoot backwards. That'd be kinda cool, actually :D

They're modified ramjets such as the V-1 flying bomb.  The airplane takes off under normal power and when at a reasonable cruise setting lights the ramjets.  If something goes wrong or one does not light, simply pickle them away using your bomb release.

How do you think Jimmy Franklin go his idea?

Why not a Ju-52?

That way when flying in ToD and stuff we don't have to shootdown c47s supplying german fields.. feels so wrong..

My guess is that it was a sight that used a Gyroscope to give you a better estimate on where your shot was going while turning or moving around.  Kinda like the gunsights on modern aircraft, where the reticule moves around depending on the current motion of the jet.

That's just a guess though, seems to make the most sense to me because I don't see how a gyroscopic stabilized sight would be useful in an aircraft.

No offense, but how many more versions of the same american planes do you want to see before we get the ones that are really needed to fill out the stable?  The holes in the Japanese and Russian planesets alone are enough to keep HiTech and his crew busy for a couple of years.  We still have no German bombers save the Ju88 and 87, no Japanese bombers save the Ki-67, and no Russian bombers save the Il-2.  

We have 2 versions of the P51, 3 versions of the P47, 3 versions of the P38, 2 versions of the P40, 2 versions of the F4F, 4 versions of the F4U ............... and then the american bombers, the B17, A20, SBD, TBM, B24 ........................ and thats just the american planes, that doesnt even add in all the versions of british planes we have to round out the allied planeset.  

Dont get me wrong, I fly the F4U anytime I can.  I'm not against seeing american iron in the virtual skies.  But there are more important things that seeing another pony added to a stable thats already over represented.

Are those boosters not a prototype and were never used? I'll have to take a look in my books.

The sight we have on the mustang currently should be capable of what Kweassa is asking for. It should also have other options that it's currently not capable of.

I really think it's photoshopped.  I'd never seen or heard of any Ramjet mods to the P-51.  Hence the :D at the bottom of my other post.

Check Wright Patterson link here. They were "pulsejets" there was also a modified P-51 with ramjets. It's the 10th and 11th photo starting from the bottom.

I'm not BSing when I say this, but I would like to see V-1 rockets available to launch at stationary targets(no CVs). They would cost a certain amount of perks and have very few launching points. You would have to calculate the distance to target, speed, altitude, etc., so when the engine shut off, it would glide into the target just like the real ones did. In other words, they'd be highly inaccurate if you messed up the calculations. They'd also be highly destructive when they did hit a target.
