Well... Pyro said that "Perk" planes would be classified on the basis of performance and not the date introduced or the number of aircraft made.
So the other day we were talking and I asked him if he could model the F2G Super Corsair.
After all, it was merely a 430mph aircraft at 16,000 ft. Very slow and low for a 1945 American Fighter, and actually slower than the P-51 Mustang and the Me-109G10, and its big brother the F4U-4.
Plus it was armed with only x4 .50 cals.
After alot of convincing and promise of several bottles of GlenLivet, he agreed. Now today I was told that NateDog is working on the Art already.
So none of you would object to this aircraft right?? Wow its gonna be great! Here is a pic

I think we have enough super luftwaffle (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) rides. Lets concentrate on good American and Allied aircraft. Particularly something NOT known for wingshedding (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

Uber P47 isn't good enough for you?

Vermillion,
OHHH MY!!
I hope it's modeled with 4 20Mills. instead of 4 50cals. The 50Cals were more or less test armament for the day. All 1945 Navy A/C were switched to 20mills. It took the AAF another 10Yrs to figure it out. The early Bearcats had the same configuration but were also switched to cannons as well as all production F4U Corsairs.
Who am I kidding. I would fly it if the pilot could only flip people the bird on the way bye.
Here is a better pic.

Hey how about filling out the Russian & IJN planeset a bit first! Maybe even the RAF side could use a plane or 2. (Can you say Hurricaine II?)

Now THAT'S art! Verm as much as said "I am trolling - look at my fine bait"....and he's STILL baggin' em. And he caught the same fish TWICE inside of an hour. Good stuff (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I hope that this thread is a joke..
Because thing is so that we will soon see allied fight with F-86's against 109G10 and Fw190A-5...
IF they are doing F2G, I hope theres some surprise german fighter too.. *thumbs up*

ROFL!

LOL, even knowing it was a troll......

-
So it's joke.. knew it (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Would be suicidal for anyone to do F2G.. (hmm, I haven't really even heard of that yet until now (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif))
Hmm.. looks like some of those racing fighters today (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

**As Verms boat slowly eases his boat back into the dock, he see's Hangtime tying his boat up**
Verm: Hey Hang, how was the Catch?
Hangtime: Ahhh... not good. You?
Verm: Excellent!!! I told you that the checkered nose blue lure would really haul them in.
Hangtime: What yah catch?
Verm: Well, I knew I that the Luftwobbles would bite on that lure, but would you believe I also caught a Lightning Fish , a Giant Squid, and a extremely rare phantom fish !! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
And I even caught the Grandaddy Luftwobble fish (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) He was mighty wary at first, but I got the hook set really good.
They were biting so good that I threw a small Luftwobble back at the start and caught him a second time (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
If that game warden Karnak wouldn't have come along I could have caught two or three times that number (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Here is a picture of the catch. I had to find a few guys on the dock help me hold them all up.

I have to say Juzz wins the grand prize (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
He's was the only one to spot the troll within the really blatant troll.
The picture I posted is a plastic model of a F2G, not even a real one (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) And no I didn't build it.

It's kheeeling me.
Did you see me go right for the 20mill. debate. I'm already argueing it was undermodeled. I need a vacation from the message boards.

Look how sadistic Verm is, killing innocent civils!
-
Too Funny!
BTW, what's the limit on Luftwobbles anyway? Or are they considered a "trash fish"?
-

YOU GOT A PERMIT FOR THOSE? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
