thanks for all the hard work and patience that you have put into these uploads. It is very appreciated. Am I the ony one who noticed the remark about the SPAD XI? I'm giddy as hell over that ;) if memory serves there was just an engine change between that and the SPAD XVI?

WW2 Screenshots Thread

ok I'm just throwing this out there,I have no idea how to do it or if it would work but what if you made two objects. One a large "fire" and the other firefighters hunkered down.give the fire fighters zero for movement and have the fire move slow and be armed with an invisible rocket with almost no range.the fire would creep towards the firefighters,or buildings or what ever ,and when in range would fire it's weapons that just happen to have crater effects that mimic the fire spreading? that would allow "close support" missions to save the fire fighters from a fast moving blaze.....morbid but I wonder if it's doable. I guess if a suitable transport fire could be made it might be useful in armed recon missions too......

I'd love to see some Polish aircraft. We have most of the German types we would need for a decent polish campaign but we only have one for the Polish side. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PZL.23_Kara%C5%9B https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PZL.37_%C5%81o%C5%9B https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RWD-14_Czapla https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LWS-6_%C5%BBubr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lublin_R-XIII

70 years ago: Day 1 of the Nuclear Age
whiteknight06604 replied to Capitaine Vengeur's topic in The Pub
so it would have been moral to use conventional weapons and kill upwards of a million but it was immoral to use 2 bombs that killed a couple hundred thousand and ended things right then.....yeah makes sense. Things have changed but I don't give 2 shits how many Japanese died as a result of the bombings. they were at war with my country. All loss of life is a horrible thing but the bombing saved thousands of allied lives. The Japanese were arming women and children with pikes to attack allied landing troops. they had thousands of aircraft and almost a million men under arms on the home islands. that was a force that while low on fuel and supplies would and could have cost tens of thousands of allied lives. Sorry the bombings saved lives and it was done. I still see no difference between using 1000 bombers to destroy a city or 1.The sheer magnitude of the destruction and it's shock value was very helpful in saving millions of lives on both sides since the Japanese had already shown that large scale use of conventional weapons had little effect on them thinking about peace. I think if they ignored 300 thousand deaths in Tokyo firebombings they would be highly resistant to further such bombings. yeah maybe in time they would have but what after another half million deaths? yeah that seems much more moral than using 2 bombs and ending things there and saving at least a million further deaths including an estimated 250,000 Allied troops -

70 years ago: Day 1 of the Nuclear Age

I see no moral difference between killing a bunch of people with one big bomb or a crap ton of smaller ones. Durring WW2 it was common to target cities with even the slightest ties to being millitary targets so I see no difference between the 2 atomic bomb drops on japan and any other attack targeting similar targets. A nuclear bomb is no more or less "moral" than any other weapon. dead is dead and if you are killed in a bombing raid I doubt anyone is going to feel better about being dead simply becaus it came at the end of a convention detonation rather than nuclear.All loss of life is a bad thing but durring a war i'm not going to worry about how people 50,60 or 70 years are going to wring their hands over a bombing that in the context of the war and it's time was just fine. I seem to remember there was a time when the crossbow was considered evil and was condemed by the moral authorities of the time. Same goes for the bolt action rifle. Heck today the word "drone" carries an "evil" overtone. a tool is a tool and it's how it is weilded that makes it good or evil. -
the Tegas is one of my favorite modern aircraft. This is a beautiful rendition! thank you !
