what is it....new game.

[bobbysocks]

ok here's the rules. #1 you have to guess correctly what aircraft from BoP <<<<that is the restriction ( must be a BoP ac) the pic is from. #2 IF you do guess correctly....you have to post a pic of a part of a BoP ac for us to guess....and so on. so here ya go. SO you better have something good for us if you win....lol. this is the first pic...good luck. What is it??

[McQ59]

I wild guess... Tailweel Me 262.

[P-51]

I wild guess... Tailweel Me 262.

The 262 had the more conventional and stable trike undercarriage did it not?

I do agree its a tail wheel though. Meaning it could be one of many things..

I-153 tailwheel?

i-16 tail wheel

[Balderz002]

Correct, although some of the prototypes did have tail wheels, untill it was found to be VERY unsafe, and a few planes went pop!

[P-51]

That prototype must have been a death trap, if you throttled up to quickly and you'd have an afterburner unit in the engine!

[bobbysocks]

Good catch olife. you are correct. its the tail wheel of a I-16. ok now its your turn to post a pic for us to guess.

[olife]

[QUOTE=bobbysocks;167504]Good catch olife. you are correct. its the tail wheel of a I-16. ok now its your turn to post a pic for us to guess.

thanks a lot bobbysocks,i was lucky...
very good thread

now what is it?

[bobbysocks]

i'm going to guess its a D520 like the sig you have under it... :grin:

[olife]

i'm going to guess its a D520 like the sig you have under it... :grin:

no,sorry...

to help u, i must say the plane of my pic is in the game il2 birds of prey

[P-51]

Spitfire? From that angle I'd say a mark2?

[olife]

Spitfire? From that angle I'd say a mark2?

not a spîtfire bud

[Davedog74]

is that a p51b olife?

[bobbysocks]

looks like it could be a P51 with a malcom hood. but the 3 blade prop is throwing me.

[Davedog74]

is the p51b in the game really a p51a(mustang II) ?
bobbysocks ,this ones an p51a ,i think

[FOZ_1983]

Could be a YAK.....

[bobbysocks]

is the p51b in the game really a p51a(mustang II) ?
bobbysocks ,this ones an p51a ,i think

i think you got it dave...olife is the official judge tho. this one has to have a merlin in it because i do not see the air intake above the prop. i never saw a 51 with a 3 blade prop before ...but never saw too many RAF 51s either. as for what is in the game...i never paid attention to the B. always flew the D. looking at a yak3 i see a lot of similarities ...just the front windshield seems too far forward...but it could be the way the pic is angled.

[Balderz002]

I'd say it was a Yak-3

[Davedog74]

im leaning to yak3 now,i think foz has this one,ive got a good one lined up .

[olife]

I'd say it was a Yak-3

yes foz it is a yak but what yak?,and yes bobbysocks a lot a similarities with the yak 3 because it is a yak3.
foz guess it is a model of yak,bobbysocks have a doubt about the windshield , balder002 find the complete name the first.he have the credit.
davedog74 find it too but lightly too late.

[Balderz002]

balderz002 find the complete name the first.he have the credit.


WAHOO! I won something! Ok, you guys will have to wait until tonight when I get home from work to see my offerings!

yak 9

it is a yak 3,but agree with u there are a lot of similarities with the yak 9

[FOZ_1983]

it is a yak 3,but agree with u there are a lot of similarities with the yak 9

I didnt read the replies before i posted, so didnt notice the YAK3 had been pointed out. My bad.

[Balderz002]

OK then! My go! Nice easy one! Bonus point for naming the pilot!

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b208/neilbaldry/pics/Untitled.jpg

[bobbysocks]

well....its a 109 in africa colors. so i am going with,,,,,Hans-Joachim Marseille???

[Davedog74]

i think marseille only got oak leaves ,this guy has oak leaves and swords,only 53 luftwaffe members got both,
total guess,adolf galland 109f

[olife]

bf109f-4/z trop "yellow 14" 3/jg 27 hans joachim marseille


but too late for me,bobbysocks and dave are the first to think about marseille and bf109...

[Balderz002]

Davedog74 got the type and model of the aircraft right, and Bobby got the pilot right!

"He reached the zenith of his fighter pilot career on 1 September 1942, when during the course of three combat sorties he claimed 17 enemy fighters shot down, earning him the Ritterkreuz mit Eichenlaub, Schwertern und Brillanten (Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds). "

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b208/neilbaldry/H-JMarseille.jpg

As the rules go, its Dave who won this round, sorry Bobby!

[FOZ_1983]

well....its a 109 in africa colors. so i am going with,,,,,Hans-Joachim Marseille???

Your right, it is indeed his 109. Sept 42.

One of his pics is him standing next to the wreck (good conditioned to) of a Hurricane he shot down!!! Not amused, its a sorry sight to see :(

[olife]

I didnt read the replies before i posted, so didnt notice the YAK3 had been pointed out. My bad.

no probs bud

[Davedog74]

well i got the plane,but i was about as wrong as you can be on the pilot ,iknew he got oak leaves in 42 ,but thought hed be on more kills by then,what was he playing at?,i dont know.

well, a shallow victory, but heres my effort chaps

[Balderz002]

at first i though it looks like a Blenheim 4? Then i thought a bf110 - and thats wha i am sticking with. a BF110 -the roundall being a bit of a cheeky side stepper!

[Davedog74]

sorry no, balderz mate(rubbing my hands together,derek trotter style)
edit. edit edit ,im not doing well today,spot on bf110
how long was that 10 mins,im going off to cry

HAHA, good shout! Thought it might be a while before someone got that one (it is indeed a 110C captured by the RAF), i dont have any pics so didnt answer because i didnt have anything to post. Well played in getting it so quick!! The aerial and the rudder are the give away i think :D

now what is this plane?,i must say a plane of ace...

[Balderz002]

Thats right cheeky olife! having some tarp over the canopy!

Is it a P-47? Or a P-51? I would say a P-51 as the RAF didnt use the P-47 in Europe really.

[Soviet Ace]

And I thought they didn't have guns in the wings Soviet!!!! Yep it is!

They did (later models) but like the FW, were inboard, rather than so far out to give them better roll. But I don't think the guns aren't properly positioned in that picture, as they would be in a real wartime I-16... mainly because if you look at pictures and stuff from WW2 you see that the wing cannons are much closer to the fuselage than that. (I'm not sure why they'd move them though?)

EDIT: Just learned why they had them out so far. Because it put less vibrations on the pilot. :P

I was just looking through the duxford pics the other night and noticed them sticking out. In guessing they've been either moved of position there for aesthetic reasons although they look as if they'd only just clear either side of the prop

I think prop clearance would be the main reason for putting guns farther out in the wings. There also might be other things like fuel tanks, landing gear, wing structure or ammo bays to consider. No such thing as free lunch.

That's possible, but on the original I-16s, the cannons or machine-guns on the wings were really tight against the fuselage (kinda placed where the FWs were) and they were much farther in barrel wise (not so elongated like they are in the picture). So being hit or hitting the prop wouldn't be an issue if they'd kept them farther in like they had during WW2.

Also, I-16s shouldn't and never had fuel takes in the wings because that'd add weight in their rolling which would be bad since that and turning sharp is all they pretty much had going for them later on. Usually their spare fuel tank was behind the pilot, or not at all and they just had the main tank.

[bobbysocks]

soviet, what kind of MGs were these? make/model?? they have the gas tube extended beyond the leading edge...very interesting. almost looks like a modified dshk...

[Soviet Ace]

soviet, what kind of MGs were these? make/model?? they have the gas tube extended beyond the leading edge...very interesting. almost looks like a modified dshk...

Depending on the type, but just sticking with the Type 24 since everyone's familiar with that Type and it's what most airshow models simulate, they'd have twin 7.62mm ShKAS in the nose and twin 20mm ShVAK cannons in the wings. Though models starting from the Type 1 (Prototype) up to the Type 10 would have had just ShKAS 7.62mm MGs. Though it was the Type 6 & Type 10 that had four MGs all around (two being where the 20mm cannons would later be placed on the later models. Type 1's up to Type 5s just had twin MGs in the nose.

But sticking with the Type 24, the cannons weren't all that long (just look at the size of a I-16s prop that's still,) I think they just made them farther out for dramatic effect or something?

My comment on prop clearance had more to do with line of fire shooting through the propellor disc than gun barrel length. Given the Soviet military's belief in the philosophy of KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) I would imagine that they would avoid using complex gun syncronization if they could. Most US fighters carried their guns in the wings, but roll rate was considered less important in US designs. US fighters also carried fuel in vertually every nook and cranny that was available, and a significant part of the pilot workload was involved in managing the weight and balance of this fuel.

US fighters also carried fuel in vertually every nook and cranny that was available, and a significant part of the pilot workload was involved in managing the weight and balance of this fuel.

Lol KISS (I like it.) But more on gun synchronization. I'm not sure it was all that big of a deal to the Russians since all it did was slow down the rate of fire for the cannons or MGs in the cowling. (The reason why 109s have their cannons in the nose, is so they don't fire so slow as they would on say a La-5 because cannons already fire slower than MGs (Obviously.))

I mean, Russians kept their guns synched because it took unneeded weight off the wings and they could roll or turn better; plus their guns were more likely to hit the target ahead of them at any distance (Like I always say when flying Russian planes; Just point and shoot). The reason US and British forces had guns in their wings, was because to them it was easier to shoot an enemy down and they could fire off faster (plus they did carry more rounds than Russian planes). But the problem with having outboard guns, is that you can only hit the target at a certain range since the guns fire in an elongated X shape, and firing too close to the enemy, the guns won't hit and firing too far out, the guns won't hit and the rounds will just got to either side of the enemy.

Plus, why most British and US planes had large fuel loads, was because unlike a country such as Russia, they had to cross water and were focused on long distance dogfights and escorts. Russia's idea was that they'd only need fighters to go as far as the infantry was at the point of time. The Russian's main idea for fighters, really was ground defense from enemy fighters. (That's why you see planes like Yaks, Las, Polikarpov's, etc all low altitude.) Plus more fuel= heavier planes, and less likely to be able to dogfight properly in their chosen realm of fighting (which was more or less horizontal dogfighting as I've said countless other times.)

The wings don't look right to me, for it to be a La-5. And, I don't even think they have any La-5s in existence that are in flying condition.

Is it at least American or British, Gilly?

Nice game you have going there. I usually post in the IL-2 forum, so it would be bad manners on my part to win this one, post the next one and then forget to check the replies :grin:

So, instead of saying what this is i'll just give some hints. I may be wrong, who knows, but guessing from the shape of the horizontal tail and the size, this should be bigger than a fighter (two engines). I think it's not a fighter, but it's not a bomber either.
Also, take notice of the shape of the main wing trailing edge. The wing middle section is straight, but has a slight sweepback at the outer sections. Another notable feature is the single flap under the wing center section. Finally, is that the outline of a door in the left part of the rear fuselage? ;)

Looks like a Dakota (DC-3) to me.
