This was on Facebook.... Let's see if it works here:

Not trying to provoke anything, but thought this was funny. Found this on facebook.

 

"...and the Mustang versus Thunderbolt argument continues."

I'll take the P-40 as soon as it comes out - already bought. I'll shell out for the Spit, too. But my preferred ride will be the Jug.

 

And like you, I'll go for an American bomber - any of them.

 

Me too, can't wait for the Jug to come out. Watched a TV show yesterday, that highlighted Gabby Gabreski's career. Pretty cool pilot.

 

Was interesting to hear that a common mistake for rookie LW pilots, was to dive away from the Jug. You just ain't gonna do that....

Being the namesake of the A-10 you would think it would be higher priority.

Yeah, that has no bearing on it at all ;)

I know, it was more of an observation and slight sarcasm. :music_whistling:

:music_whistling: It ought to be cancelled really to save confusion - we shouldn't have 2 planes with the same name! :music_whistling: :music_whistling: :music_whistling:

[VIKBELL]

Great Video it looks very stable when doing taxi and takeoff

[MAD-MM]

Economic VW engine burn in the start-up first 10 liter oil :music_whistling:

[Kurfürst]

Yeah, judging from the smoke, its a VW turbodiesel! :D :D

Uh oh.. Nazi powered Allied aircraft... look out :)

In lassie video Sith posted there are 2 different kill markings on the aircraft, does anyone know what they mean?

From what I can find, the victory symbols picked out in red were air-to-air, while the plain swastikas were for kills scored while ground strafing: the USAAF recognised that ground strafing, particularly of heavily defended targets such as airfields, was dangerous enough that aircraft destroyed on the ground could be categorised as kills. Down to Earth: Strafing Aces of the Eighth Air Force.

 

 

Some further material related to the USAAF's tactical operations

Nice video, I wonder if we will get ground crew on the wing to direct us to the runway?

[Apache600]

How the heck didn't the prop vibrate itself loose!?!?! that's incredible

[Barrett_g]

I don't know about you guys but I sure could use a WIP screenshot!

[DSR_T-800]

YES PLEASE!

 

...well the model has already been complete I believe they are just working on the flight model.

 

I would like a HD screenshot to set as my desktop background picture :).
