Gentlemen,
What new planes will you be flying in FB? As most of you know I am partial to the Dora, but quite excited about a lot of them.
What say you all on prefered mounts?

Nights until wednesday morning I think this is my last batch of night shiftsat least the 7 days in a row thing. Will be back to Monday-Friday with weekends off by March 10th, or somewhere around that time. Sorry I haven't been around much these last couple of weeks I despise my work schedule as it is right now. They should have marchs schedule posted at work this weekthen i'll know for sure.

To mimic the old flick:Dora! Dora! Dora!heheheedited note: of course I will probably be testing all the new birds on the first night... think the German pilots will totally clean house, until the VVS community learns the more advanced engine systems, and break out that La7...  ~TX-CageBlack 5... end ...

looks like we will have to still use Cuda's AI cockpit loader for the pe-8.I think only the he-111 and the tb-3 will have in game cockpits. I am anxious to see how the he-111 will perform. i read that it was a blitz bomber and was faster than early war fighters until the spit decided to stick its nose in there....TX-CageBlack 5... end ...

Top speed of all aircraft back then was around 300mph in level flight, with BF109 achieving something near 350mph if I remember right. The notable exceptions of the day were:Mig 37,000 mphYak 42,000 mphLA5 Warp 10A favorite tactic for Yak drivers back then was to BnZ from the relative safety of the dark side of the moon, or occasionally take the long dive from Pluto. I hear these record breaking aircraft will not be modelled properly in FB out of fear that some players will claim them to be uber. But history speaks for itself, I remember quite clearly dodging LA's in my 190A3 and commenting on how pretty the moon dust contrails looked as they came in for a gun pass. Aahhhhhhhhhhhh, the summer of 42 over the Volga. Those were the days indeed. PS I hear the P47 is a pretty sluggish plane in FB. PPS Sometime remind me to tell you the story of when I led 6th panzer across the alps to attack the persians who were using their war chariots to threaten the inca's in south america. That was a hoot!TX-ZenBlack 6TX Squadron CO

Jeez Zen you crack me up, you should go back to writing. If I am not mistaken I think the VVS also came up with the famous Pichard Maneuver shortly after warp speed was invented by admiral Chekov. I think the order will go like this.------------------------------------P47ME 262, if I can't kill'em I'll just harass the hell out of them.DoraK4LA7Tempest or Hurricane which ever one they added from the Brit'sand both Bombers.B~

I break this down by patch. . .ie. CD version of FB:P-47P-40me262190 D-9 and a9109G14 and k4wait. . I guess all of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Probably I will not be as focused on a single pair of airplanes as I am now. . (ie, one red, one blue) I mean now we have jets, bombers, more american planes, 190s that might need to be taken seriously. . .and that crazy LA7 that we will have to outfly. .. which probablyhappens best in the K-4.I am excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Now. . the hangar will be much smaller I think by the second patch. . .as I will get the P-51.I have to say that I think I will probably fly that most often, no matter how it competes in DF.It is interesting now too, that we could actually fly three team full real games as well, kind of like the 16 army maps. . .only without 16 armys. . . soviet, german, and American. Seems that this might add more excitiment to the potentially boring full real game of cat and mouse. (gotta love when you stalk someone forever, get nice and close. . and they are another cat!!! heheheh)hmm. . I have a bad feeling that the Americans might loose that one unless they are really practiced at their bird. . but we shall see what happens!!S!TX-MustangDragon!!!!!!!!heeheCurrent mount: P-39 Q10Favorite Plane: BF109-G6A/Sand a bandit on my 6Most feared/resented FB addition: LA-7Characteristic noise during dive as reported by a third party witness: GGGGRRRRRRRBBBBBRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWK!!!
