+Veltro2k Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 View File Handley Page Halifax B2 Handley Page Halifax The Handley Page Halifax was one of the four-engined heavy bombers of the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. A contemporary of the famous Avro Lancaster, the Halifax remained in service until the end of the war, performing a variety of duties in addition to bombing. The Halifax was also operated by squadrons of the Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal Australian Air Force, Free French Air Force, and Polish forces, and after the Second World War by the Royal Egyptian Air Force, the Armée de l'Air and the Royal Pakistan Air Force. 3D Model (Veltro2k) Textures and FM (Charles) Cockpit (Kesselbrut) Best Sim : Thirdwire unzip ad folders to their appropiate places...have fun THIS MODEL IS ONLY TO BE DISTRIBUTED AS FREEWARE AND IN NO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL IT BE USED, EVEN IN PART OF ANYTHING THAT IS PAYWARE.

RUSTYMORLEY Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 One of the classic British Bombers of WW2, although like so many other British Bombers of WW2 which took part in the nocturnal bombing campaign against Nazi Germany - little more than Cannon Fodder for the waiting BF-110 Nightfighters of the Luftwaffe. Many thanks for this Veltro2K. Quote
Spinners Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 little more than Cannon Fodder for the waiting BF-110 Nightfighters of the Luftwaffe. Really? I beg to differ. You make the courage, skill and sacrifice of the men of Bomber Command sound like a complete wasted effort. OK, there were dark days early on but by mid-1943 the RAF's heavies (and the Mosquitoes of the Light Night Striking Force) were a potent force that made a major contribution to the war effort so much so that during January 1945 the daily average was 1,420 sorties. The two-pronged strategic bombing of Germany during WW2 (USAAF by day and RAF by night) remains controversial but I'm pretty certain that the RAF's night bomber offensive would have been sharply curtailed if the Luftwaffe's night-fighters had the upper hand to the rather glib extent you've indicated by stating that they were 'cannon fodder'.

+Wrench Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Easy Gents!! ----- is the /Decals folder supposed to be empty??? Quote
Gatling20 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Great looking aircraft! And I love the weathered look of the skin - she looks like she has seen plenty of late nights over the Ruhr. Decal folder empty for me too, though. Edited April 28, 2014 by Gatling20 Quote
+Veltro2k Posted April 28, 2014 Author Posted April 28, 2014 don't know how that happened but the original folder was fixed and will post the decal folder aldo in my Veltro wip thread if you haven't downloaded it yet Quote
MajorKong Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 The Luftwaffe night fighters frequently found themselves being hunted by RAF night fighters, usually Mosquitos or Beaufighters. It wasn't as one-sided as you might think. Quote
