This is the important one Viper. This were you can strategically manipulate the 3d pprocess so computer doesnt spazz and drop conn

Night Mare you should Download this and it should smooth out your connection problems. I think the problem is the graphics card your using as default. With this app you can customize

Dude, that is so funny. It's been so long since I've gone against Skeet that I forgot about his defending of his base.
Just ridiculous.
I can picture him respawning over and over, and taking a swig of bourbon each time during the other teams bomb run.

Right on Cyper thank bro...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOooooooo

Hey night you want to tell me your password so that I can get your banner set up.

I sent you a pm

I have been really busy the two days. Had some union business to take care of and doing some work around the house. This was one of my more enjoyable jobs. I built a fishing rod holder for trolling in my kayak. Little bit of pvc pipe,glue,heat gun and hand grinder. It turned out pretty cool.

Stayed pointed nose-down at top speed and pulled up suddenly at only 20 meters above ground. What a rush! Then Dire showed up with same plane and we had a mutual admiration session until others showed up with Zeros (heh heh heh). Dire had to leave, but I took great delight in shooting reds with my new plane.

This is kinda like my Zojirushi coffee maker!

As I recall the P-40's strength was its dive rate, and because it was solidly built and very sturdy could easily out dive the Japanese aircraft of its time. The aircraft weight was due to its being heavily armored, and it was able to withstand lots of bullets and remain airworthy. According to a first hand account from a long time family friend, the Japanese aircraft were so lightly armored that it appeared the bullets he fired missed the aircraft but were still able to down the various Japanese aircraft. The lightly armored Zero's were quite nimble, however Japan suffered from a lack of well trained replacement pilots as the war wore on.

Anyway, I am looking forward to spending some $$$ (I don't have the coin to buy one outright) and seeing what the new birds can do!

oooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooowwwww

Great to see you again Viper. And everyone! Gg Sir Viper

I didn't realize it until after I bought the new P-40, coupled with Eagle's comments later on, but Zuperman is giving subscribers a huge break right now by selling the new planes at half off. As you know, I jumped on the P-40 right away, but decided to go ahead and spend the coins on the new Japanese ZERO as well before Zup comes to his senses.

I want that new tank BADLY, but I think I have just enough left to get it when it becomes available. The sad part is that all that coin I spent so long earning is almost gone. On the other hand, I used to complain that I had nothing to spend it on because I already owned every plane in WW1 with upgrades and paint jobs. Sigh...

At any rate, I hope to be able to give you some info on performance characteristics of the ZERO. So far, having flown beside and behind it when Drummer was testing his new one out, I can tell you that it is very nimble, just as Viper said about the real ones in WW2. It's slightly faster than all the other planes except for the F4F Wildcat. It may well be that Viper's report of lesser armor holds true for this virtual one as well, because my first sortie in it, I went down 4x in a row out of the gate. I dunno. I'll get back to you on it.

One thing that is wonderful about both the P-40 and the ZERO, is that they hold 325 rounds(after upgrade), as compared to the puny 240 rounds by the other WW2 planes, either German or Allied. Gotta love that!

The P-40 and Zero are great planes! They were some of the best of WWII! Has anyone noticed that the Wildcat's name in the game is Wildchat??? Lol!

Can't get to much done today drank to much beer.

Hey Tas,

I'll have to look for that!

Hey MayDay,

Not sure that's a 10+ age pic. I know Zup has been pretty strict on keeping it clean. Hate to see WP get kicked and we all 'yelp' at once.

The P-40 was originally conceived as a pursuit aircraft and was very agile at low and medium altitudes but suffered due to lack of power at higher altitudes. At medium and high speeds it was one of the tightest turning early monoplane designs of the war, and it could out turn most opponents it faced in North Africa and the Russian Front. In the Pacific Theater, like all Allied Fighters it was out turned at lower speeds by the lightweight fighters A6M Zero and Nakajima Ki-43 "Oscar" which did not possess the structural strength of the P-40 for high speed hard turns. The American Volunteer Group Commander Claire Chennault advised against prolonged dog fighting with the Japanese fighters due to the resulting airspeed reduction which favored the lightweight Japanese designs' low speed turning superiority.

Allison V-1710 engines produced about 1,040 hp (780 kW) at sea level and at 14,000 ft (4,300 m): not powerful by the standards of the time and the early P-40 variants' top speeds were only average. Also, the single-stage, single-speed supercharger meant that the P-40 could not compete with contemporary designs as a high-altitude fighter. Later versions, with 1,200 hp (890 kW) Allisons or more powerful 1,400 hp Packard Merlin engines were more capable. Climb performance was fair to poor, depending on the subtype. Dive acceleration was good and dive speed was excellent. The highest-scoring P-40 ace, Clive Caldwell (RAAF), who claimed 22 of his 28½ kills in the type, said that the P-40 had "almost no vices", although "it was a little difficult to control in terminal velocity". Caldwell added that the P-40 was "faster downhill than almost any other aeroplane with a propeller." The P-40 had one of the fastest maximum dive speeds of any fighter of the early war period and good high speed handling.

The P-40 tolerated harsh conditions in the widest possible variety of climates. It was a semi-modular design and thus easy to maintain in the field. It lacked innovations of the time, such as boosted ailerons or automatic leading edge slats, but it had a strong structure including a five-spar wing, which enabled P-40s to pull high G turns and even survive some midair collisions: both accidental impacts and intentional ramming attacks against enemy aircraft were occasionally recorded as victories by the Desert Air Force and Soviet Air Forces. Caldwell said P-40s "would take a tremendous amount of punishment, violent aerobatics as well as enemy action."Operational range was good by early war standards, and was almost double that of the Supermarine Spitfire or Messerschmitt Bf 109, although it was inferior to the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, Nakajima Ki-43 and Lockheed P-38 Lightning.

I have to agree on Dire we all think that it is funny but the younger folks might not and I would like for WP to stay a bit longer so if you can edit it to where its not to over 10 and under. (it is pretty funny though )
Thanks

Looks like I almost nailed it off the top of my head. Good reading Lunas... thanks for the article.
