After hearing from Pyro about what he envisioned for the Aircraft pages, I got permission from Soda to integrate his Aircraft Evaluation pages as part of the Aircraft Pages layout. Wantok and I then made minor edits Soda's evaluations to reword or remove the subjective opinion comments for the pages where we personally copied over info from Soda's site. Soda's info is only meant as a starting point for others to tweak though. Someone else copied Soda's page over without any editing on that particular page though.
You are more than welcome to edit that page or any other page with better information that you are knowledgable about. That's how wiki is supposed to work ;) Moot for instance re-wrote much of the Ta152 page since he is an expert on that plane. Likewise Saxman edited F4U pages, and I the P-38 and P-47 pages.
I think you fit the bill of one of the "experts" that are needed in regards to the Ki-61 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/wiki/index.php/Ki-61-I-KAIc) info :salute
I will. I just wanted to inform others that they need to exercise caution when writing these things. Wait, you know stuff about the 38? How? :D
<<S>> Murdr. :devil
I was going to finish the 152 page but it's been long enough that I'd want to fly it again before speaking from old memory.. Will it be ok to upload some films to illustrate parts of the wiki article, or is it better to have em elsewhere on the net? Would direct links to those pages/films be ok within the article?

I've got stuff I suppose I can upload for the Mossie - will AH host them or do I have to use my own space?
the sdk page is good, but still missing the most important info - the rocket range at 23deg and 45deg...Yep, I'd done the ranging but somehow forgot to add it when I wrote it. Saw that myself today. Gonna add it in a bit.
Come to thhink of it Ive gotten ranges offline by firing next to a gv drone, and driving out to the craters myself.

You can upload everything to the Wiki.
By the way, regarding vehicles. The armor thicknesses by chassie location are posted by Pyro on each vehicles discussion page. The thickness values just need transfered over to the infobox. The SdKfz_251 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/wiki/index.php/SdKfz_251) page is the most complete example of a vehicle page, if anyone is looking to contribute to tank/vehicle pages.

So as an experiment I added my data to the Ki-61 Wiki page. Ya'll take a look and give me some feedback on the good, bad, ugly. If the community in general likes the idea and we can put together a format folks like, I'll work on adding the data to all the planes pages.
Take a look. I made a new template to display that type of info. There is flexability to add more data fields or switch the layout around.I like it. I see you have a copy of the secret spreadsheet! The source you quoted, my old turn list, is little outdated, there are new planes and I think some flight models have changed. And thanks to Badboy I have a more accurate formula for computing the results than I used back then. I'll have to redo the sheet with the new data so we can post the correct source. I'll also retest a few planes.

Would scanning and pasting the pages cause problems
You are also promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a public domain or similar free resource (see AHWiki:Copyrights for details). DO NOT SUBMIT COPYRIGHTED WORK WITHOUT PERMISSION!
Just reporting that I think someone messed with the "Fighting in the P-47D-40". Currently it says "You will soon notice that nearly any enemy will be easy to get." Just notifying someone who has a clue about modifying it. :lolChange it ;) ...that "editor" was given a long break for excessive posting of nonsense by the way.
Is there a "brains trust" where we can upload / store data relating to aircraft and vehicles not currently in AH, but which might, possibly, eventually, show up? I mean, I've assorted Me 410 stuff, some He 219 stuff, think I even have a docco on the optics in the JS-2 tank...
Just try and mimic the other wiki pages' conventions.
I can create the page and stick the template in there for you. What's the formal/in-game name for the Panther?
I've spent pretty much my whole life learning about WWII in all it's aspects, with a focus on aviation. I am sure I can help with the wiki, if so please PM me.
