People bring forward anecdotal evidence left and right but the matter of fact is, often it can't be trusted and more often than not anectodal evidence from different source can be very contradicting, so sticking close to the available official data and manuals is a sensible thing to do anyways. P-47 looks sexy as hell, can't wait to handle both those heavy weights in the new update So without going off topic here essentially then just to reassert, this is the main thrust of why the Japanese planes won’t be forthcoming. Most would be based off of conjecture, not OFFICIAL hard data sources/manuals. Damn. Frustrating to the team and player base - but yet understandable. Really a good rule to stick by. Somewhere I picture a bunch of blueprints and manufacturer data by the reams all sitting dusty and untouched for decades in a bunch of file cabinets in a dark corner of some long forgotten room somewheres in Asia. “Yeah, right.” I hear everyone saying. “Good luck with that one.” But yes, I’ll be interesting to see the intricatecies between the two models. Interesting about the wind airflow between the two models and the canopy itself. Mmm...exhaust smoke...too bad there isn’t Smell-O-Vision... We know return you to your regularly scheduled post...

Haha yeah my buddy flew P-3 Orions for the Navy and has a good story about let's call it an "extremely aggressive approach and landing" precipitated by a case of the S.O.S. (Sudden Onset Shits). 1 1

Raptorattacker Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 I'm WELL aware of the 'perils' of the Black Stuff!! I love it and my record is 12 pints at a sitting (I was much younger!!). It definitely reminds you it was there on the day after...
BornToBattle Posted July 2, 2020 Author Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Lol...what memories! I had just gotten done refueling one of Continental’s 737”s. The jetway was clear and the tug was moments away from pushback. I was outside pulling out the truck chocks when they initiated the startup on the number two engine. She must have had some excessive fuel cause there was a loud bang followed by a thick trail of smoke going over the right wing and looping away under the fuselage. The look of the people’s faces sitting next to the fuselage windows - priceless. Edited July 2, 2020 by BornToBattle 1
