Just one request, a pair of 20mm's on that little VERY maneuverable RV8 :)
-
Be realistic - RV8 ord loadout:
1. Bottle of Scotch (cockpit)
2. Bottle of Scotch (cockpit), 2 BBQ Sandwiches (cockpit), 2 Cole Slaw (wingmount, cause nobody eats the stuff anyway).
3. Bottle of Scotch (cockpit), 2 BBQ Sandwiches (cockpit), 1 25Kg Barrel BBQ Beans (center pylon - cause nobody in their right mind would get into a cockpit with HT after he ate a load of BBQ beans) :rofl
4. Perked loadout: 2 x .50 cal MG (wingmount), Bottle of Scotch (cockpit) - cause you can't play with the automatic weapons without a good snort of scotch....

20mm cannons one on each wing and a couple of beers will make me happy, do you have any idea at all what I could do to those pesky little spitfires with one of those?
-

-
2 cowl mounted .45 pistols with 1000rds each.:aok

Look in the back seat ;)

Either way give me a gun in that thing that I can use and I'll kill spits right and left.
-
one 30 cal would be fun..
-
have it for a few days in xmas for some FUN, with green, red nd white tracers haha, check 6 could be, ho,ho,ho lol.
-
No what the Rv8 needs is a pair of paintball guns.
Don't do damage but leaves visual proof of hits. :)
-
shoot the cockpit up w/ paintballs :D be worse than an oil leak
-
lol HiTech i think u should..."think" is key word
u should give us back those vulcan cannons for the offline arena AND offline arena only!:D

Eat all of my .303 lead??
and it my be maneuverable but its slower than a Lancaster during takeoff, a hurricane would look like a 163 passing a 109k4 in it
but guns on the RV8 would be fun

Yeah, that would be cool

Rv8 = WHY? :huh
Wouldn't the work on this been better channeled toward one of the aircraft that is missing from the planeset?
MIG-3?
P-39?
LaGG-3?
Buffalo?
Pe-2?
He-111?
GRACE?
JUDY?
etc......etc......etc......
Once you get past the "NEATO" factor what is it good for? :rolleyes:
-
One can never have enough RV-8. They are so great I'm building my own.

It is HiTechs personal plane in real life and it was made for the Con this year. What's it good for?? Were you online that night we flew them at the con? The whining was PRICELESS:rofl That's what it is good for. I wish it was available in all the arenas. It was for a short time in the MWA and I got a couple of proxie kills in it I was able to land. That was priceless too, getting people to try and turnfight that thing on the deck....oppps look out for that tree:D Makes a good spotter plant too.

They have a lot of Rv8's flying around during WW2?
-
It was created for the con.Your "neato" factor was only supposed to last a few hours for the con. The only reason we have it now is probally because theres no reason for us not to have it, instead of being wasted and not used again.
-
JESTER silly goose of course they did :D
-
BTW the Rv8 is available in the TA if you use the .showrv command first.
Fun bird to barnstorm in.

It could be a possible trainer plane for newcomers, just to get used to flying and not giving up their first time, althou some of em should give up after 1 / 2 flights...

As far as a trainer for newcomers.........
Would it not make sence to start them off in a WW2 aircraft that they will be flying in sim-combat than a modern a/c that has nothing to do with the era AH represents?
The dynamics and performance of the aircraft can be set for any level the programers of HTC like - would not a "easy" version of one of our aircraft work better for the newcomers before turning them loose with a real "Warbird"? (This really isn't a bad idea all in all). Plus it would negate building a whole new A/C. Besides most people that join AH I imagine want to fly WW2 AIRCRAFT.
As for the Rv8............
It's Hitech's company and I guess he can pretty much make anything he wants to. I am all for new aircraft, new vehicles, new gizmo's to use with the aircraft and for the development of AH which I love. I have been flying for 5 years + and been a CM in the old Combat Theater which I spent my own time to try and make AH better.
Still I think it looks kind of funny when all us loyal players that pay our $14.95 a month and beg and plead for new aircraft and vehicles or modifications to existing A/C see a "Modern Sport Plane" come out first.
But that is just my opinion.......
-
The RV8 didn't just come out. It's been around for a long time. In the past it's been Hitech's personal play thing. He just decided to share with the rest of us. Personally I think it's cool. Gets my juices flowing and motivates me to go back out in the shop and keep building on my own RV8.
