This has always been one of my favoriote planes not only for the design which was and is fantastic, but for its amazing accomplishments against great odds in WWII.

Wow, nice shots! I remember reading a story of 3 Fairey Swordfish who took on a squadron of 7 top of the line airplanes to save an island, and won... Shocked

Tells you a lot about the "top of the line" technology, eh? Roll Eyes

Do you enjoy putting others pictures down? In this one you are saying the aircraft looks bad, in the To Honour Those Who Served, you said that you had an idea for an evil repaint of it, my God you are a story. Angry

Thanks for your replies,

I thought it would be interesting to see what would happen and what responses I would get if I went back and reset some clouds in Fs2k2.

These shots are from Fs2k2 not Fs9!!!!!!

To the pilots who flew these machines they were beautiful because they could take massive punishment and keep going and when your life depends on it that is beautiful......................................PERIOD

As to the Knight's Cross being for the best of the best I think that that would better be said..............................

" the Knight's cross to the those who thought they were the best until they got their as.................handed to them over and over again"

Which is just what Goering, the Luftwaffe and every flyer and soldier who fought for Hitler deserved and still deserves.................if you get my drift.

If you manage to drop a torpedo at a battleship, escorted with cruisers and BF190's with 20mm cannons while flying a biplane only armed with a few machine guns you can be called a hero, even if you die in the process

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

Propellor and moving parts of this one don't work in FS2004

And those clouds are a replacement pack, just as the water

Hey ramsa old pal I actually prefer your 2004 shots they were excelent. Although these ones are very clear and thats a really nice plane. Does it have a none float royal navy version? I've seen that one at airshow quite a bit.

Nice shots anyway

and what about Bär,Galland and Hartmann? all of them survived the war and were pretty successful fighter pilots.

Silent Exploder,

The successes of individual flyers has nothing to do with what I was talking about. I never said that some of them couldn't fly or shoot.

Although a good argument could be made that the majority of their victories were against inferior forces much as with the Japanese. Who also got their as...........handed to them when they had to face free industrial nations.

No excuse in the world can be made for the actions of any German who fought in WWII and that goes double for any of the Elite forces.

Men have the freewill to say no and if enough had done so.....................maybe the truly brave British and American and Canadian and Australian and every other ian wouldn't have had to die.

The Germans did not fight for their country they fought to take over other peoples countries and they fought for Goering and the glory of the Reich which was A VERY BAD IDEA.

To you in some strange way that cross represents your individuality to me it represents the greatest evil the world has ever seen.
