    War Thunder

    That doesn't mean much. Doesn't negate any of the comments I added. That just means "the community is looking forward to this" -- well my comments come from actually trying out the beta. Besides, the STEAM community greenlights a lotta idiotic games that get no further than a hype-filled...

    War Thunder

    I had high hopes from the developer commentaries before the beta... But after the beta and seeing what it actually was.... It's a BS arcade game. 3rd person mouse flight, simplistic forces acting upon the planes, etc. They may be trying to put nice graphics on it, but much like some other...

    FW-190 D-9-13 vs. Ta-152 C

    I've read it the other way around, that the RLM wanted engine interchangability way back before the war. The DB engines were too scarce, and their production runs frought with delays and disruptions, meaning aircraft were built before the engines were. The ability to swap out an engine in an...

    Looking for late Fw190A with RLM 81/82 uppers. Any leads?

    Interesting thought on Kennel, but he's more of a special camo. I'm thinking of more of a traditional splinter camo on top with side mottling to whatever degree. Something more along the lines of "Black 1" from JG26 (a 190D9) as seen on the EagleCals decal review here: Eagle Cals 48-01...

    Looking for late Fw190A with RLM 81/82 uppers. Any leads?

    I'm interested in finding a Fw190A-8 or A-9 that flew late in the war but had RLM 81/82 upper colors like you might find on some of the long-nose FWs. I think it's an interesting look and coupled with the short radial engine would be rather unique as far as paint schemes go. These late-war FW...

    Me 410 Rockets?

    Erich, Forgive me if I overstep my own limits here, but I have a thought about that bulge. The first person to have the 4x20mm bomb bay setup was unhappy with the BK5. He got permission to modify his ride to take a 20mm battery instead. If you look at BK5 setups they have this bulge. I...

    P40: The underated underdog, or just behind the times

    In my humble opinion, the reason the P-40 would never be a great fighter was because it was draggy. Giant bulbous fairings over the open-wheeled gear wells, bulky, sturdy, but thick and draggy wings, giant front intake (from E onwards) and a high abrupt cockpit. The fact that P-40 pilots...
