1° open il2. and fly an Me262 and shoot only one cannon MK108 against a P-51D and tell me what happens

2° try to make that loop 360° (like WWI) with a P51D

3° P51D against Bf109G6 ??? at that time you have BF109G10 and G16, maybe you can have G6AS. OMG

4° and the fockewulf???

When watching this movie a week or two ago, i laughed out loud, at least 4 or 5 times during the flight sequences....

if i saw this in the theater people would be looking at me funny thinking i was crazy for laughing at these flight sequences...since it wasnt the jokes i was laughing at...


edit, one more observation....it was funny the 30mm rounds the Germans were shooting didnt explode anything....but every other bullet fired by the red tails squadron seemed to ALWAYS end with an explosion....i mean this is really the one thing i came away from the movie with....why after every shot fired by the red tails was an explosion...i mean this movie was so unoriginal at best, it was an american version of dark blue world (that foreign language film ,for me anyways)....

LOL

This looks like it will be just as bad (if not worse) than that Pearl Harbour rubbish.

Hammer down!

As with all action block buster movies.. it is never made to be like real life.. What exactly is the surprise about all the explosions. What did you expect? a movie called Red tails to be a spot on war reenactment.

i dont expect much of anything from Tv or Movies...in my opinion its all garbage...i might watch 5 hours of tv a week maybe...i certainly dont go to the movie theater...the last time i went was only cuz some idiot got me gift certificate to some movie theater...

but its still comical and worthy of laughter...i guess to add to your point, since its not a reenactment why not give the p51s under wing laser cannons...i mean it wont take anything away from the movie right?

If and when we get a P51 in this game I want what ever rounds that P51 was firing at the war ship at the end of the clip.

I could say I didn't expect it to be Starwars: Attack of Tuskegee, but it would be a lie given Lucas put a hand on it. Even if you ignore technical/historical incorrectness, it is just a terrible movie, in which characters look like they are reading a script in front of them.
