The Tractors are already well-represented. What about some Pushers?

i dont think they ever fought in the war :huh
-
The Ascender had cooling problems, the Shinden didn't see combat and the J21 was supposedly neutral :)
How about a compromise..the Do-335? :D One of each!

That just another uber 109..

Has absolutely nothing in common with the 109.

the DO-335 looks nuthing like a 109
at least not the ones i have seen
-

It's German. :noid

It's German. :noid
or is it? :noid

It's German. :noid
not only are they german but they also both have wings and a pilot to fly 'em :D
-
It's German. :noid
Lol, I was about to say that.
It was designed by a different company, uses different engines, has TWO engines, doesn't even feature 109-like radiator ducting on the forward engine... no.

you are right :O :O

looks very like a 190 with no angle from the cockpit back, looks slow

It, again, has absolutely nothing in common with the Fw190,
looks slow
It would be the fastest prop plane we have in game.

Dornier 335 is an excelent choice, as long as you dont mind having no rear view, and occasionaly knocking that bottom rudder off when landing....
-
My vote for a "Pusher Aircraft." :D

DO-335 never served in squadron strength I believe,correct me if I am wrong? Plus with the exception of one running DO-335 there is no recorded instance of them being in combat.Again correct me if I am wrong. So with those issue's per game policy it wont get in.

The Ass-Ender had worse problems than cooling.
The way I understand it, modern canard planes like the Rutan designs, they make them safe from the stall/spin traits of a canard plane by basically not giving them enough elevator to pull them above the critical AoA when loaded within the CG limits. This is problematic for a combat aircraft, for obvious reasons.

I didn't know it was "canard" in english also :D
-
BnZ I believe you worded that incorrectly...
A canard aircraft is not designed as you stated. Elevator authority is not the deciding factor. They are in fact designed in such a way that the canard stalls before the main wing. This in effect makes them to some extent "stall proof" so that once a specific AoA is attained the canard will stall and the nose will drop until it generates lift again. This is know and the classic "canard bob".
It must also be known that the canard design is not entirely "stall proof" as a deep stall condition can be entered under extreme circumstances where both the canard and main wing are both in a stalled condition. Though rare, and usually the result of exceptionally poor design or treatment this is generally a non recoverable situation and can lead to fatal results.
-
You are right sir, I did have things a bit mixed up in my mind.
But wouldn't that be a bit like flying with the stall-limiter on in AHII?
I googled and found MUCH debate about the safety of doing aerobatics in a canard design.

That Rafale at the bourget airshow seemed alright :D

Um...it was a joke.

Always on the mind eh Mip? :D

Back in 81 I saw a pusher at Rhinebeck Aerodrome, but I'm blanking on the type..DH2?
One thing I do remember that it had an extremely short takeoff roll due to wind conditions.
-
i've already asked for the 335...HTC wont put it in the game...sorry guys
-
a few pushers would be a nice adition to the game

I don't think there were any that saw unit-sized service. Thus, none that meet the requirements for addition to the game.
Not that we need any late war uber planes in the first place.
