I can see a flaw!

I think you guys left something out.


P.S. You need to get away from that dinosaur named TW. You should move to Texas and work for HTC. Maybe *then* we'd get a G.55 and a remodeled c.202/205, and a c.200 or a g.50, or a SM.78, or a.... I'm gonna stop now ;)

It truly looks awesome!  

 Thats the one nice thing about Target:Where? software. It's good for making good screen shots. Lord knows it's not attracted much other use/




 (although keeping Stiglr "happy" and aiding in his migration away from the AH/WB communities has been a very pleasant side benefit)

Good one Westy! ;)  You could say "Target:When?" as well :)

Heya Krusty! Howdy!

BTW, TT its a nice way to continue our researches about italian aircraft. And who knows, a new engine could come out in a couple of years, maybe even before the MED expansion for Oleg Maddox's BoB  :rofl

Gatt: It's clearly a Serie 0 craft, as it has no wing cannons, but it does not have the slots for the gun barrels underneath the engine, on both sides of the oil cooler.

Serie 0 had 4x 12.7mm guns and 1x 20mm (through the prop).

2 were on top (like the C202) and 2 were on bottom (like the top, only inverted).

Serie I dropped the lower pair of 12.7mm because they were too dificult to service (due to their location) and put the wing guns in place.


So, it should either have the wing guns, or 2 more MGs underneath the cowling. It has neither!

Its is cleary written they are old WIP, so I apologize. I can assure that TT has the most skilled development team that both IL-2 and AH2 could ever dream of. No Oleg Maddox no HT-PYRO coud even imagine what we have dug from archives of original documents. Whats more important, is that:
1) average Northwood P4 with average AGP cards are able to run such beautiful graphics;
2) TT graphic engine is not young, while AH2 aircraft engine is awufully old (I talk about Macchis and many others);
3) 202-205 AH'2 are old, so forget about 50-100 italian customers (same thing for French players), but looks like AH could ignore them. That why we left AH2. Not why is not the best.
I'll be back after the summer (1 year after) to see what changed after the awful three capped arenas. Lets see.

I think it's your ISP.

I like the skins they've chosen. (*sigh* if only we had them in AH :cry )

I don't think the gun trough (my term for it) was like that, though. I think they are longer, deeper, and lower. I have a photo of the prototype that clearly shows them, but I'm not at home. I can PM you later, if you like.
