Yeah Raaaid, you're right, damn us.

And now tell us : why almost all US weapons were / are called the M.1?

Think of the Garand, the Abrams, the Carbine, the helmet, the Thompson etc etc etc...

Smells like a conspiracy there...

Cheers

Raaid, I think that it's a coincidence mate. I don't think they knew the 109 or 190 would've been as successfull as they were and as important to us as subject matter. If they were discontinued after say 1942 and superceeded by the Me150 and the Fw500 I think we've be having a different conversation.

Keep 'em coming!

And who ever is responsible for USN aircraft type numbering was a vicious sadist.

Raaaid..... not to be rude, but is there any chance you may be slightly retarded? :)

Moderator Edit: Watch your manners guys and stay off the personal attacks.

Really? A bit touchy aren't we?....... in Australia when you give someone some light hearted stick it means you're mates!
Raaaid didn't seem hurt by it.

Didn't anyone notice the smiley after the sentence....geez:rolleyes:

Hmmm...

I think maybe Paxx is Raaid, and he is answering his own question..

Multiple identities are common amongst great thinkers and idiot savants..

Aren't they, Mike..?
Why yes, Mike, I do believe they are..

Paxx is definitely not Raaid.

Paxx is well known on another aviation sim forum.

Paxx does however have a sense of humor when answering forum idiots and trolls.

Paxx was also a bit drunk when responding (US holiday at the time, not that I need that excuse), hence the drawn out edits to fix typos.

With Paxx you can expect a knowledgeable accurate answer to software and hardware questions.

Paxx may also insult you and piss you off, although by carefully reading what is said you will see that he is right.

And that my friends is how Paxx rolls - Hi.

Off to the patch, see ya.
