Wow that's a stupid assumption.
I find the lack of IL-2 sturmovik and the massive amounts of this jet powered shit severely disturbing

That's your shit.
Missiles and jets ruined aviation.

Also A6Mx was considered a piece of shit amongst japs, and it wasn't all of that good plane. It wasn't that fast and even your regular paper plane has more armor than a zero.
Ki-43 oscar was the shit back then.

And yet you found a picture of one of the very late-war versions, that is ugly in comparison and has far weaker turning abilities.

Except there were a shit-load more of them and they were involved in combat for a longer period of time.

Anyone want to see a total waste of money, something that became out-of-date even before it was finished?

I've always felt that helicopters are the only real kind of piloting left - Fast-movers are mostly computer-controlled now. And the AH-64D Apache longbow is the baddest motherfucker that ever flew.

It wasn't all that useful, actually.
The biggest single-prop in WWII.
[IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/31/P47.750pix.jpg[/IMG]
8 .50 machineguns. Enough to rip everything into shreds and back tenfold.
A-10 is the modern version of that, fuck that sluggish, slow stutka.

Oh and my personal favorite:
[IMG]http://www.richard-seaman.com/Wallpaper/Aircraft/Fighters/AmericanProps/RnzafKittyhawk.jpg[/IMG]
Sure, it's not the most manouverable, and it climbs like a para-dropped artellery piece, but once I get my pilots licencense, I'm going to track down and buy me one of these.

Big =/= better. That thing's maneuverability was majorly flawed, especially in climbing and turning. 8 .50 machine guns? Big deal. Machineguns are good for shooting down planes... something the P47 was not good at for the reasons just listed.
If you were to praise it for anything, it should have been for its ability to highly withstand fire and its abilities as a weapon platform for ground-attack with a hearty payload of rockets and bombs, not its machineguns.
Btw, it wasn't just the biggest single-seater in WW2 but the biggest single-prop fighting aircraft ever (and heaviest and most expensive).
Oh I'll do the fixations. dunno why I wrote seater.
It was good at ground attack plus 8 guns is most guns ever mounted on a single prop as well.
They were not cannons sure, but they managed to blow shit up pretty well. And it was a ground attack plane, big one as well.
not going to argue with you cause you know what you're talking about.

[/QUOTE]
You made some good points but I'm afraid this is false. The Hurricane II B had twelve .303 machineguns. Those aren't as big obviously, but numerically that is more. Maybe your fact is something like, the most combined power in machineguns mounted on a single prop.

I'm sure they thought the airplane was impossible and the helicopter nothing more than a failed experiment, a hybrid will possibly be the future.
[QUOTE=doommarine23;21327091] a hybrid will possibly be the future.[/QUOTE]
Of troop transport perhaps... but I doubt even that. It has very little benefits over a helicopter that would cost much less to design and produce. Even if the technology advances, some sort of VTOL jet-powered troop transport would be much more cost-effective and efficient.

[QUOTE=Methylparaben;21323536]this thread is quite short, and those napalm bombs that the A10 uses are banned by the Geneva-Conventions so what ever website you got your infomation of was also incapable of checking its research.
also you say the F22 rapter has a "advanced helmet with a HUD system", it dose but so dose very nearly every aircraft the US airforce uses, $150,000 a piece[/QUOTE]
Not only the US airforce, almost all airforce's across the world use the HUD helmet.
