Believe it or now, we STILL unable to find anything about those flame dampeners! Lots of pictures and stories of those involved with TA-B are pouring in, but nothing on the stack. Anyone take a second look?

phenomenal success in fund raising! Unfortunately much less success in finding about those dampener!

I think more back pressure as longer pipes reduce flow, then the dampener itself. Thanks for all your input! Thanks!

Some fantastic seaplanes!! Any Soviet types posted by chance? (if anyone knows, 44 pages long to look though)

Those alternate names are great to know! I knew the Wellington had same engines, but images with those engines did not have the rasp ones, still did find this: and on Sterling

Great to see nothing serious, but it will take a while to fix it up right. Pilot error? Real rotary engine?? Looks like.

Early? Later tiers are full of big gun Russian fighters that will dismember anything with one shot, yet I am finding opposite is true with other nations. It may be player bias but Germand and Japanese planes seem to be less effective, and it is true their cannons are not quite as powerful...

Excellent thread. Would like to get a MG-131 round, not easy to find.

I have video of this position, pester me to upload it.
