lol that thing will never defend against the lovely lancy... for a start a good defence in an air war would be a plane, not a flying tv aerial set!  ;D

Overweighted Elephant? OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH no MATE.

I doubt that the heinkel could be looped and rolled as the lancaster could.

Oh and by the way this is the first project that I will have been in since joining TLUK although not making the sounds I shall be putting them together.

He-111's were jumped and killed by hurricanes and spits all the time, and i'm sure the bf-110 was, well, limited in performance or something like that.
As i said, go take a look at the vulc. Another AVRO BOMBER that can LOOP ROLL and kick supreme ass. Just as the lancy can.
Plus it actually did its job and could carry bombs. Unlike certain counterparts...

but, as i say, pit your word against mine and lets put our money where our mouths are. 3 v 3 multiplayer, night raid on a factory or some other facility. Be also an interesting arrangement for both groups i think too.

Far be it for me to divert a thread from a discussion of which bomber/fighter flew faster/looped better/had a cooler paintjob  :) but my quetion is for Mathias;

Are those antennae just for decoration?  That was, after all, the primary reason for converting the bf110 into a nightfighter.

Not sure if CFS3 even allows for radar sets...

LOL, gentlemen, don

[d0mokun]

nonononoo no fight here mate, i genuinely want to challenge you!

so comon! I lay down the gauntlet. 110's v lancs on a night raid; what do you say lol?


and btw, i love the 110 you made lol.  8)

[Mathias]

Yeah, good one!!!
we need a "neutral" instance to take care of the performance of the both planes.
What about offering your plane to the guys at http://www.avhistory.org/ for tracking down damage profiles and flight model?

err, ehm, what about scanning your other Lancaster shots for me? always loved the bird and always looking for references.

Mathias, talking about Heinkels, you have promised us an He115 for YEARS.   Your avatar says it all.  C'mon, we seaplane nuts are feeling very underprivileged in CFS3. I think there is a Sunderland on the way so you have to square the picture.

i was working on a shorts sunderland but recently stopped work on it due to lack of plans etc.
however, it may well appear for fs2004 from me.

LOL...if you'd like a detailed book about the night air war over Germany, get Bomber by Den Leighton.  Gives the mission from the German and the British point of view.  The Brits in a Lanc, the Germans in a Ju88 night fighter.  Powerful stuff... ...a classic read, if you've got the patience, because it takes it's sweet time getting started!

The 110s came up a with a novel idea once the Spits and Hurris realised they couldn't turn...they simply flew in circles guarding each othes arses!  The fighters left them alone and concentrated on the bombers!  They may have been fast, but they had two big engines slung on, that meant it turned like an truck!
