Oleg Maddox's Room #2 QUESTIONS & REQUESTS TO OLEG ABOUT BOB SOW

[Flyby]

Oleg, will the new SoW engine take advantage of new GPU architectures? Specifically will the new Nvidia Fermi GPU be relevant to SoW? Here's a link to an Nvidia article over at the Firing Squad: http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/...ew/default.asp

Here said that over 60 Blenheim Mk IV was a Fighter in early Battle of britain thit 4 20mm cannons. I need the list of Flyable Aircraft to check this. I dont see any Cockpit of Blenheim Mk IV !!!

Not 20mm, 7.7mm, i.e. 0.303 inches, same calibre as the Spitfire and Hurricane, it was intended as a nightfighter I think, and didn't do much good.

you are all right!!!

The Mk.IVF (fighter/attack plane) carried six 0.303 machine guns, four in a belly pack, 1 in the port wing and 1 in the rear turret. This model was also employed as a night-fighter using ground-controlled radar direction.

what a stupid english people hahaha!!! I lock pics and I suppose that they are 20mm cannon.

...bullets from Fighters of Battle of Britain
...
15mm MG 151 (15x96) (Bf109G)
20mm MG 151/20 (20x82) (He 162)
...

The Bf 109G wasn't involved, and I'm certainly glad the He 162 wasn't! The Battle of Britain was in 1940. Try to at least think, and do a little research before posting.

Every time I see those munition comparisons I get a strong "wow" effect. Despite seeing it before. The difference is just so enormous visually.

Does all this mean that the Bf 110 is going to have some major firepower vs the Hurricanes and Spitfires? Especially being nose mounted with no convergence problems.
