I hope people realize what a huge amount of work is going into this next release.  Its not a simple terrain adjustment or additional aircraft.

Thankyou HTC for all your hard work on 1.05!

When a Spitfire is shot down into the sea the burning flotsam is called a 'seafire'.

 Pyro said that they were hoping to add them in for 1.05. If not definately 1.05.01. Most likely when we get the flying boats. I was told they were worse than pirhana when they find you.

Help me out here........but I thought the Seafire had clipped, or squared off wingtips?
Am I correct, or did I just imagine that I read that in one of my books............

Hi eddiek,
 Some Seafires did have clipped wings but basically the Seafire was a converted Mk V (C I think).

3 blades and an arrestor hook , definately a Mark II Seafire  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

At least that *looks* like an arrestor hook. dunno why a white surface would show up like that otherwise.

This means we don't get it during the holidays.. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)  Oh well, I'd rather have them take some time off and enjoy the season than be a slave to us!

Seafire MkII, aka Spitfire MkVb, aka Meat on the Table.

Still, its a British carrier aircraft.
