Tell the designer of the F-4U Corsair that.

The '31 also has major engine trouble. Tends to go 'flame-out' under hard acceleration... (this is outta the horse's mouth from a captured/rescued russian pilot when they tried to 'buzz' the USS Independance).

I think that's US intelligence propaganda. Russians engines are excellent. This was probably a way to say: show, their planes aren't that good.

No, that's what they said after we fished thier dumb asses out of the water after they tried to run away from our F-14s. I was on the damn ship that day.

ah, well, I suppose this can happen to any plane no? (the engine "eats" a bird for exemple)

Two planes? On the same day? During the same incident?

Of course this happened back when the bird was still pretty new, the prob may have been corrected by now.

If you study most Warsaw pact equipment you'll find the same "shock-trooper" mentality (ships, tanks, most MiGs). But you'll also find that thier artillery is pretty scary, as are thier helos. Most of thier later stuff is also pretty good (MiG-29, SU-27), but it wasn't produced in much quantity before they went bankrupt...

I like the Fulcrum, by looks, and it does have a good armament.

Setekh · **Reply #51 on:** September 22, 2001, 11:41:00 pm

Actually, I've changed my mind. Gimme a Comanche.

Anduril · **Reply #52 on:** September 23, 2001, 12:58:00 am

Setekh, that's cheating. No changing aircraft types!

What's with the comanche btw? what's up with it?

Tachnyrus · **Reply #54 on:** September 23, 2001, 02:28:00 pm

I think the RAH-66 Comanche is a scout helicoptor. It is supposed to be very quiet and quite stealthy. It has some chaingun and also 6 hellfires or stingers or something. Was in Tom Clancy's Debt of Honor...

Thanx, I know what the comanche is, since gunship2000, it's even made by boeing. I wanted to know what was up with it.

jonskowitz · **Reply #56 on:** September 23, 2001, 05:48:00 pm

Hasn't been deployed yet to the best of my knowledge.

Anduril · **Reply #57 on:** September 23, 2001, 06:56:00 pm

Yeah...what IS up with that helicopter? I also learned about it from GS2000(a true classic

) and haven't seen a whole lot of it since then...

There is a little info here, but not much on the development schedule. It is a dang fine looking chopper though.

heh! don't forget the "comanche" series from Novalogic

Btw the 4th one is under prod, and they finally left Voxel for a (trully) kick-a$$ 3D engine.

Setekh · **Reply #59 on:** September 24, 2001, 05:34:00 am

I love the Comanche. Paper-thin armour though, so if it gets hit it's a goner, but I like the stealth and jtus the sleek design.
