Wait a little bit 'till I'll be really fine against, and you'll see if anyone has lost interest on what's incoming! And BTW, I've received the decals Mike, and the damned song, hillarious!!

So Darkstar, Judy Judy, I'm going in for guns! Los Gringos, "Going in for Guns", of course!

I would kill for Wings over Korea!

Forgot about the Skyraiders and F4U, eh?

Yeah, and a one-piece falling satellite with a previsible trajectory is not exactly the same as a multiple nuke launch, equiped with MIRV and decoys...

There's a small error on the last picture, it's not a Guéneau, but a Gallet LA-100 helmet.

Hehehe, most excellent!

The best weapon FOR WHAT??? Ah damn, sorry but again it depends on the purpose of the plane!! And no, the Corsair was an awful dogfighter, read anything you want about it made by men who flew it, it was a wonderful boom'n'zoom plane, but nothing of a good turning fight champion.

Well, I repeat myself, but I think it's a simple choice of compromise depending on wich kind of plane you wanna make, nothing more, nothing less.

Yep, as well as the Bearcat, me think, but neither of them saw combat during WW2.

No no, there's no problem, no offense taken here mate, we're between more or less adult people here I should maybe reconsider the technical data and see wich engines are heavier. And well, yeah, radial engines were among the fastest, but THE fastest in WW2 was an inline engine, the Hawker Tempest, so much for the radial engines

Just like you said...

That's pretty right, except that the Jug and the Corsair were never good dogfighters neighter, but they were perfect for boom'n'zoom. Yeah, inline engines were lighter and more aerodynamical, but as you stated, they were more complexe than the radial ones, wich can sometime come back with one cylender or two shooted up. Think about the Napier Sabre from the Tempest and the Typhoon, those were mechanical horrors, with a very small life time, and with a real tendance to break for god knows what... But yeah, for ground pounding, prefer a good radial engine! Think about the Jug and the Skyraider!

As C5 stated, it's a question of utilisation, yeah. Inline engines are not good for ground attack, they are a lot more easier to damage from groundfire than radial engines, wich are really sturdy, but for a pure fighter, the aerodynamic of an inline engine is more efficient than a radial one.

Whoah!!! Very very nice!!

:tomato2:

Damn, can you image, I'm less than half your age

Mike, those are your tanks lol. Ah well, guess I should make you work less, seems to affect your perception of things Kidding appart, you sure did a hell of a job with those decals mate, I'm proud to work with you on those, thanks!! Cédric

Nah, chocolates doesn't make you fat, at least, not the good ones, the ultra blacks Well, with small orange pieces... Or nuts... Ah damn, I need chocolate!

Ah yeah, one day late, but you know, birthday yesterday, alcohol, all those stuffs... Glad you enjoy them!

Just saw the approval, thanks mate!
