Whats a RV-8???

It's one of the new planes the player base has been asking for. It helps fill out the gap in the planeset so people can run scenarios without borrowing something from the other side.

Hitech used the RV-8 for the con. Then he let everybody fly it that was not at the con. Then he came into an arena one day and hooked us up once more.

It outturns about EVERYTHING, accelerates instantly, and they slapped 30mm rotaries on it.

Was fun flying it.... only problem most tried dogfighting with it.. turns and excellerates incredibly, however, it's true calling was in straffing GVs and flattening towns.  

30mm rotaries... high rate of fire :aok

rumor has it that it also sinks CVs and flies backwards. :noid  I'd never touch one, so I can't say.

Title: Rv-8
Post by: zorstorer on November 16, 2006, 01:29:07 PM

I think it's .showrv

Post by: macleod01 on November 16, 2006, 04:03:25 PM

WHAT IS WITH THE BOX BEHIND THE SEAT? BOMB! Or Hitech forgot his post!

P.S Code is .showrv typed whilst in hanger, then u exit hanger to let plane list formulate again (or sumthing like that) Go back, and its there!

Ahhhh....thot was a fun, ...and late...., night during the Con.   :rofl

Especially once the means to get hold of one leaked arena wide.... RV-8's ALL over the place.

Then they shut them down... only ones left were those still in the air and hotpadding between missions.  Once word got out, whoever was still in them would not tower out.... once you did, you lost it.

Mine took damage, and I still rearmed 3 times before I was finally downed.  

And, yep, all sorts of experimenting done with them that night..... dogfighting, killing GV's, flattening towns, flattening hangars.  

Great movie there too.  Gives a small idea of what they were like.
