[the lancaster kicks ass]

ah, doesn't really do it for me.............

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

I have to agree with you, lanc...



Amazingly...

 

[Nonskimmer]

I dunno. I think it's kinda cute! :fadein:

 

[cheddar cheese]

Its a great a/c!

Perhaps the lanc and GrG will understand when theyre older

The good thing about the P.11 is that it's so slow, that on-line players roar in, expecting an easy kill - totally misjudge just how slow it really is and fly right over the top! Then you can maul them a bit as they go over! heh heh heh.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Wow you actually use it in battle?! Good man! its an amazing Ground attack aircraft and bloody tough too, my engine was seriously smoking but it made several more passes before being taken out by a 210

 

[Nonskimmer]

And it turns on a dime!

One of the quirks of online games, you can fly the AI planes, and on one of the servers I found you could fly the business end of a Mistel - Fools! I had loads of mindless fun, trying to ram people, and vulching an entire airbase just by crashing down onto it! (hey, they said bombs and rockets were okay)

 

[cheddar cheese]

Cool! 8) Hey No-one told me AI planes were availiable in online games...

Now Im gonna join the HG's 8) (Tomorrow though)

 

[Medvedya]

There's only one rule with the blasties - you're not allowed to shoot at any other H.G's apart from a guy called Black Scorpion mm'kay?

 

[cheddar cheese]

Ok...

Wow, 2 file types, didnt think that was possible

 

[Medvedya]

Oops, yes, I had to convert it to a .jpg in photoshop so I could use it when I was making up a sig.

 

[cheddar cheese]

I would not consider airships and balloons to be aircraft. Some might but I don't due to the fact that they are deriving their main source of lift from a bag of helium or some similar gas over the cockpit/gondelia (However you spell the name of those Venice boats). I suppose I'll accept gliders although I was mainly thinking of powered flight if you'll notice that all the planes on my list have engines. To be a plane though it has to have wings or something similar, the blades in the case of helicopters providing the main lift. With an airship all the rotors do is drive the airship forward, they don't keep it in the air.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Oh, ok 8)
