Three American, Three German, One British aircraft...
bongodriver replied to Avimimus's topic in Western Europe 1944-1945
Certainly a Brit engine, the P-51 would have been floundering around in the weeds without the Merlin. -

Roy, I agree that discussion is silly, but it evolved from the topic, this thread is simply to highlight the lack of commonwealth representation, clearly for some the commonwealth is best eradicated from history, it really does feel like we will have to see several more sub variants of 109's and 190's before somebody realises a major player in the conflict has been forgotten. -

Oh no, don't start any of that crap, bombs are bombs and everybody dropped them on civillians not just the RAF. -

??? the Spitfire doesn't fit?....the 1 and only British aircraft and you think it's 1 too many? Yes, must not boast about RAF dropping bombs, the B-17 just flew pretty formations for the Germans to shoot at. -
Good idea, SDK so the community can create content and quality is kept up by submitting it to ED/RRG to implement

The Battle of the Stretch Goal, Part II - Changes!
bongodriver replied to luthier1's topic in Western Europe 1944-1945
Please make this absolutely final.....it's the most sensible approach. -
really need that paypal option, even some of the harshest sceptics say they'd pledge on that basis, might even push the kicktraq trend to the first stretch goal, $40 pledgers would get a free 262 and a major chunk of credibility restored.

[REPORTED] Fw 190 Cockpit Bar! (answer Post #173)
bongodriver replied to Krupi's topic in DCS: Fw 190 D-9 Dora
it proves the bar is visible despite any apparent refraction, physically this just is not even up for debate, the bottom edge of the glass is above the instrument shroud and the pilot can see above the shroud and refraction 'does not' eliminate the bottom edge of the glass. therefore the 'bar' is visible. The gunsight sits only slightly above the instrument shroud, from many images the tolerance in how much higher than the 'bar' is almost negligible, it really wouldn't take much head movement to get a position where part of the 'bar' could obstruct a tiny portion of the sight. 'IF' we were to allow for refraction, then it is now clear that in actual fact we lose a small portion of the lower part of a natural view, this is also likely the part of view where the target sits in attempting a deflection shot.
