An idea for a "What if?" scenario

[Volksieg]

I'm not entirely sure if this would even be possible in the CloD engine but I had a rather odd thought the other day about a possible future mod.

My modding skills are absolutely non-existent but I was wondering if anyone else had considered the following possibility?

Imagine the scene.... you are up in the air with your Spitfire squadron, just doing a routine patrol, when you notice a series of dots on the horizon that appear to be getting closer every second. They are definitely not 109s, of that you are certain........

Enter the Hanebu Mk II!

If anyone here is unaware of what that was (Allegedly), I suggest you watch one of the trailers for the new film "Iron Sky" ;)

You gotta admit, as a "What if" scenario, it would be rather fun, no?

Haunebu, 'au' instead of 'a' - for those like myself who have no idea what that was and have to go check the wikipedia :)

LOL. I typed it before my first coffee of the day.... never a good idea. :D

I stand corrected. :)

I think I was thinking of Haribo for some ridiculous reason. The perils of having the PC next to the television, perhaps? :D

Personally, I never dealt with 'what if' series or thing like 'luftwaffe 46', maybe some aviation artworks attracted me a bit for evocative atmospheres...
sorry

[Volksieg]

No need to apologise. lol Different horses for different courses and all that...

I just think it would be a fun distraction. There is something rather sad, flying for blue team, knowing that no matter what you do..... you ultimately lose. The idea that, if D Day had never happened, or at the very least happened too late, our skies could have been filled with saucer craft is rather fascinating to me.

I definitely believe they were considered as a project and, perhaps, even a couple of prototypes were constructed. I draw the line at them being used to spirit the Fuhrer away to a distant star system, mind. :D

You should for sure appreciate this

maybe you know it already...
check them all per author, some of them are a really great piece of art...
here is my limit in accepting this kind of things, I'm very interested in 3d modelling and digital art..
cheers

Thanks for the link! :)

I was not aware of this page at all...... and now it is bookmarked. There are some great examples of experimental craft there.

" I have personally never seen an actual, real drawing or photograph of any of these purported German flying disks. I would like to believe these were actual built and flown, or at least designed, but until I see otherwise, I'm afraid I must remain skeptical...."

A fair analysis of the "Saucer" conundrum though, once one starts looking into such things as the Vril Gesellschaft and their influence on party doctrine.... adds some serious weight to the idea. :)

Of course it could all be Werwolf propaganda......

Oh boy! :D I'm almost tempted......... if I can stop thinking about "Wings of Prey" everytime I see the name Gaijin, I could be sorely tempted. :D

Edit: And then I saw the date. PMSL

Why have they made this over England? It is clearly written in the books of history that this was how the Japanese arrived on the shores of Darwin (Australia) in WW2.

LOL I think I know the kind of books you are talking about.... no index or bibliography.... adverts in the back about Israeli death rays and pyramid power..... :D I have many of them myself. :D

LOL. Yeah... throw in some Daleks as well. :D Do I get to have Amy Pond sit on my lap whilst I'm flying? :D
