  1. How come? What Hiromachi posted, while highly interesting per se, has absolutely nothing to do with what ED may, or may not, do. Would absolutely love a Pacific module myself though, mind you; but who's going to do them Hellcats and Zeros and all that stuff then?
  2. Thanks 8L mate, that was reassuring to hear. S!
  3. Indeed a sad episode. But then, what else could they've done? There was a severe shortage of raw materials for the civvie market and the demand was huge, plus the jet era had already started making the piston prop technology kind of obsolete, plus those birds were not "vintage" back then, plus everyone and their rear admiral's dog were decommissioning anyway because the war was, thankfully, finally over. What would _you_ have done in their place? And you've got to understand those birds were not "cool" or "awesome" right after the war. They were a reminder of a tragedy everyone wanted to forget as fast as possible. So again, what could've _anyone_ done really?
  4. The P-47 was not deployed to Korea for the Korean War.
  5. Was used on ops in Chechnya in the early noughties. IIRC destroyed an ammo dump with rockets and an insurgent strongpoint with Vikhrs.
  6. Yah, that's an AI plane. But you've gotta start somewhere... ;) :D
  7. Other. Gimme an A-20 Havoc to go with the new free map, please.
  8. Так ты русский? Because that is where I heard the expression - and it's very apt IMO, BTW - and I've never heard it elsewhere.
  9. Hey Gizzy, thanks much for the script - saved. This is something I've heard about but never stumbled upon. S!
  10. A dead horse, plus a wrong thread anyway. Go check the WW2 wishlist sub-board for a pertinent thread. Though I'm not participating anymore, since I really don't care that much one way or another. Anyway, there're some older threads about this on the boards too. One of the devs gives his opinion on the matter in one of them, and suffice it to say that I agree with him wholeheartedly. Toodlers for now and happy flying mate.
  11. Thanks for the clarification, thought so actually. S!
  12. Ehhh... pardon me, but isn't what we've got now the new graphics engine already? I.e. v2.5xxx a.k.a. EDGE.
  13. And that is entirely correct. They shouldn't be able to.
  14. You don't seem to understand. It's YOU who needs to produce evidence for YOUR case, since it's YOU who wants things changed; whereas folks like myself and Weta are content with things the way they are, and thus under no obligation to prove anything. So where's YOUR evidence for this having been universally available for everyone on a mere request?
  15. This precisely. You either have to earn it, as IRL, or you just won't get it.
  16. OK - at least no ground effect, no working radios & no realistic engine startup. And these just off the top of my head. Any ETA for module completion please?
  17. So they wouldn't have to earn the right then? OK, games for gamers, understood.
  18. No, the point is you should fookin' earn the right for adjustment, just as IRL.
  19. So you could just hop in a plane and adjust convergence on the fly before taking off? Agh :doh:
  20. Would buy a Fortress DLC in a heartbeat, provided that the beast was relatively complete at release and wouldn't hang in EA for ages. But then, our maps are kind of small for heavies anyway...
  21. Yeah, perhaps so Weta. But we'd need a gatekeeping mechanism regardless IMO.
  22. Yeah, but it was mostly done for experienced pilots only. So this should be tied to your virtual pilot's scores as well, now shouldn't it? I.e. the feature would only be unlocked after achieving, say, 5 aerial victories and/or 20 ground kills.
  23. Yeah, it was done at least occasionally. But how common was it is another question altogether.
  24. Well that's a controversial one. We had a debate about it a while ago, and I think the conclusion was that it wouldn't be realistic since it wasn't done on a whim IRL either.
  25. I'm pretty certain they're not. See my post above. It's the DM.
