  1. Certainly a Brit engine, the P-51 would have been floundering around in the weeds without the Merlin.
  2. 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.
  3. Oh no, don't start any of that crap, bombs are bombs and everybody dropped them on civillians not just the RAF.
  4. ??? 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.
  5. Good idea, SDK so the community can create content and quality is kept up by submitting it to ED/RRG to implement
  6. Hopefully nothing
  7. Please make this absolutely final.....it's the most sensible approach.
  8. 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.
  9. 1. paypal 2. only 1 free combat aircraft for non pledgers 3. a cute little trainer for free.....not a Tiger Moth, T-6 or a Bucker is good 4. do it now.....clocks ticking job done!
  10. Map, it also expands the timeline of the Normandy campaign to before the Allies established forward bases.
  11. this sounds different... http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114788
  12. so you pledge $40 and get everything they ever release in the future?
  13. I wasn't talking about an entire fanbase of one title, I appreciate this might not have been clear so I apologise for the misunderstanding.
  14. You clearly don't understand me then, I am a premium pre-orderer of BoS so what hate? Yes I am a fan of Luthier by default, guy never did anything wrong to me, and many years of one of my most enjoyable hobbies were thanks to him.
  15. If I was accusing the whole ROF community I think the rule would apply, I'm talking about an element of that community and I'm not suggesting it's the blame of the community.
  16. I see.......not going to be an encouraging sign for the title or genre if suddenly there is a lack of funding.
  17. It's not moot, alpha access is a gift for pledging not a selling point, unlike BoS pre-order. if kickstarter suddenly fails funding then what criteria do you actually have for reasoning it will still be made regardless?
  18. A good reason would be to support the genre, these same people were happily pressuring everyone to pre-order BoS, what for? so we can play an unfinished version early?
  19. 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.
