Et oui cest Francais
(apologies for my probably poor French)

NO APOLOGIES
i m french and i know how french language is difficult
it is good from u

i quit. for now...

wow i acctually remember something from my french gcse

shut up... ^^

^^ what?

leave me alone, with this ugly plane... ^^
i wasted almost 2h, to spotted plane pics from breguet, french airforce, french navy, close support, recon, de haviland, vought, twin engined, and so on...
couldn t u post an easier plane ? like bf109 ??^^

and this was only the 1. pic.... ^^

Aww, those are quite difficult i guess, still leaving them up for grabs but here is a nice easy one http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/image...nberra_203.jpg

ha !!! this is a trap !!!!!
i should thinking this is a gloster meteor !! but for real its certainly a prototype from the austrian navy. a carrier heavy jump-bomber.
got u....

btw. why are the engines so small?

cause. its the canberra ....
omfg... im a nooob.... lol ^^
ok. i go playing silent hunter...

lol. Made me chuckle.

yeah ee camberra.
I love silent hunter cant wait for number 5

i was realy thinkink, this is the gloster meteor . but these small engines ...
then i was remembering the canberra. ^^

The engines on the Canberra are not small....the wing is BIG. I've always thought the Canberra was extremely good lookin' and bad-assed :cool: It flew with the RAF until 2006 and a handful are still in service today with various other nations. Gotta love that.

very beautiful planes...

until recently i always saw the canberra flying over my house, it was easy to spot as it has huge wings and they were black and yellow!! was a pretty sight.

Now i just get buzzed by the damn eurofighter typhoon every 20 seconds!! night and day.

Where do you live?

They say there's a shortage of choppers in Afgahistan, there's loads where I live (no less than 3 army bases in close proximity) see chinooks all the time.

ah but they wont be cleared for health and safety abroad or something stupid like that

Actually the engines on the canberra ARE thinner than the Meteors. The Canberra was the first British plane to use axial flow engines as opposed to the Meteors old centifugal engines.

uhmm.
we have to name 2 more planes ^^

Im in blackpool, but also next to warton aerodrome which is an assembly and testing place for RAF planes.

Well here is one.

http://i46.tinypic.com/1688mjd.jpg

ouragan ?
Lockheed T33 Shooting Star?

That's a good choice. I would have said something along the lines of say a P/F-80. But that would have been my second choice. :D

but the Lockheed have the jet outtake near the tail end... :(

I got some insider intel on this, if you're interested... ;)

The majority of our Chinooks are currently grounded from combat operations thanks to software. You see it's a rule that the software for primary and secondary systems have to be developed by different companies, as then it is highly unlikely that the same bugs or problems will be present in both systems. So if one fails you can be reasonably sure the back-up will function.

But it turns out that the guys that did some of the software for primary and back-up systems both went to the same university and learned the same things from the same teachers, so make the same design mistakes. I don't know what the systems were or how many of them there are. Could be just one system, could be all of them... But whatever - a lot of Chinooks are grounded.


P.S: now I have an opportunity to post in here without being off-topic I can finally congratulate you on keeping a thread on topic and civil for soooo many pages. WP ;)

looks like its in a anti nuclear flash scheme, i would say TSR2 but its the wrong shape.

Got me stumped!!

look how far back the wings are, narrows down the possibilities a bit, then you have the colour scheme.....

I have no idea. Its been rattling my brain for some time but i've not got the foggiest. Each time i think of something i then see the pic and realise it isnt what i was thinking because it has a unique shape to it.

to me it has the look of a lockheed but i just cannot say which one.

Its gotta be a lockheed surely lol

Looks like a TS-11 Iskra?

f104 starfighter?

Hmm bit vicker vallenty but is to small
Blackburn Buccaneer?

North American (Rockwell) T-2 Buckeye ?

nope none of those. Vulcan is on the right track though. It is british.

Saunders-Roe SR.53 !!!

He's right. On display in cosford??

Yes is at Cosford

http://www.targeta.co.uk/images/062_3194ww5.jpg

name this planes..

Soviets?

are they old SU-25's ?

no, now I don't think they are.

Wouldn't happen to be Mirage IIIs or IVs would they?

Su-25s usually have a hump back behind the cockpit. :D

http://www.aviafrance.com/image.php?im=7352[/QUOTE]

sud aviation voltigeur ??

no russian planes. but a little bit east seems ok... :)

Mirage's are French actually. Not Russian. :)

sure.
i was looking at the "Su-25"... :)

im not so sure it is a mirage... could be wrong though.

no mirage. Warsaw Pact plane.

Ahh cool, i live next to Cosford :grin:

No they're not Mirage's. Figured that out because I figured, they had to be some kind of Eastern European nation. Which during the cold war (which these jets seem to be from) all had that Soviet-esque look. Well they may not be directly Soviet produced, constructed, or planned out. But they are Eastern European. Which leaves me to my conclusion of calling them the Romanian IAR-93B

Which miraculously, wouldn't be such a bad jet to try and fly. I think, it was actually one of Romania's last home grown jets because afterwards, they mainly stuck with Soviet ingenuity like the MiG-21, MiG-25, etc.

ding ding sing we got a winner!! :D

sud aviation voltigeur ??[/QUOTE]

DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER!

@ soviet ace
100% correct !! your turn.

DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER![/QUOTE]

but i find it at: french recon planes... :)
was a very difficulty search... ^^

Ok, here's mine. Obviously I would have to put something like this up, (I'm Soviet Ace, I mean come on! :P) Anyway, here it is.

http://www.targeta.co.uk/images/051_7576w5.jpg

only going from the info i had.

hahaha, cutting edge soviet technology :P made me laugh

Ilyushin Il-28?

i think, the wings are different...

Nope. Good guess though, I probably would have said the same off hand the first time.

I've just noticed it dosen't have the tail gunner...

Ilyushin Il-28 RT ?

nooo...
il-30

Got it! Yak-28

I actually thought it was the Yak-25 at first.

he says yak 28, well i'll go with the yak 27 :D

though i was just saying that to be different, i think he's right with yak 28 :D

Both are very similar

hmmm, product-piracy ??
the il-30 looks identical too. :)

very good, you're right it is the Yak-28. ;)

Would have put up a Yak-27, but I figured it would have been to obvious to call it a Yak-28. :P Anyway, your turn He-111.

Also, here's a complimentary Yak-25 picture. :)

http://www.aviation.ru/Yak/Yak-25.jpg

yup, though isnt the 27 slightly smaller? never really took much notice of soviet aircraft since they are inferior to anything the west can put up :D :P (for soviets benefit) haha

Fixed:grin:

Most Soviet planes, all have similar qualities. Some even have the same body, just different size or maybe engine difference. Something, that's not quite noticeable.

Yeah yeah, say what you like. But we all know, that with Soviet ingenuity, Soviets can pump out twice as many fighters/bombers etc. than any Western nation. :D That's what makes them so great. And the simplicity that is put into them, is just amazing. hahahaha

Knew that was coming hahaha.

Great more targets for western fighters.

must admit though, the SU33 is my preffered method of flight when playing over-g :D

yeah some wise bloke told me that but i cant remember for the life of me who it was:-P

If you want to take out a base in one go - thats your plane!!

i should of followed you in, watched you release all bombs etc :( i failed you as a wingman i think because not alot of damage was being done. Was the right set up on your SU33, but between take off and attacking target something wasn't quite right but i dont know what :( sorry mate.

Wanted you to destroy targets to get your score up etc while at the same time making the game quite quick. Next time we'll sort it.

dont sweat it any advice is good advice.
I think it was because i was level bombing not diving and then when i dived i dived too steep

Ah right, yup that will be it :D

level bombing seems a bit strage in the SU33 (only plane ive really bombed in) because the bombs wont go where the target reticule is. Must be a knack to it but i dont speak russian so have no idea what my computer lady is saying haha.

Best bet is come in from height and dive down (not a vertical dive) but close to a vertical dive and then from a good height release all your bombs, the second they are relased then level out and head for home. If you get a lock on then turn away from it and just head for home at great speed. The speed you generate from the dive will be good enough to get you away from the missile.

Wait, why are you two using the Su-33; which is the Russian version of the American F-14 too bomb? (Not really, but both are made with the same idea of protect carriers. The Su-33 is just a Su-27 that is carrier capable. :D)

I don't if this one is going to be hard

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...eug_Me_210.jpg

Me 210

Because in over-g (you played it?) each plane has its countries weapons, and where the F14 can carry four 2000kg bombs the SU33 can carry a hell of alot more!! the SU33 is a superb bombing platform, it carries a huge amount of bombs. The SU27 on the other hand - garbage. It seems better for air to air than air to ground and cant carry half as much as the SU33.

This is all in over-g btw.

The superior planes for bombing ground targets i found were -

SU33
F15E (think it was the E, theirs about 4 models in over-g)

i still prefer the Saabs because of there sheer agility, sure they cant carry a big payload but by god they can fly.

For such a little plane you'd be amazed at what they can carry in over-g :D

Hmm, interesting? No I've not played Over-G, but maybe I should start too. Both of the Su-27/33 should be superb air-to-air jets, but the Su-33 shouldn't be very air-to-ground friendly. I mean, not that it's not capable of carrying bombs, but it's should be modeled to be more air-to-air like the Su-27. If they want a good ex-Soviet air-to-ground jet, they should have gotten a Su-25 or something. Most Su's are air-to-air jets. Like the MiGs. But most MiGs now, besides the 29/35, are high altitude interceptors ie MiG-25/31 etc.

Russia has kinda taken the stance of heavy bombing and 'dogfighting' rather ground attack like the American A-10 or something along those lines. Though I do think, that there are still a couple of Su-25s still being used by the Russians?

Impressive, most impressive.

your turn

The SU33 in over-g is a good all rounder, though when it comes to air to air i prefer to use the F15 or the F14 with phoenix and amraam missiles. Though the F22 it the best air to air but takes alot of fun out of flying due to the fact its practically invincible.

The russian planes in over g are -

mig 29g
mig 29s
mig 29a (luftwaffe colours)

su 27
su 27 (russian knights colours)

su 33

It's the best plane after the 22. It can take a ton of missiles, and is one of the few with mid range IR missiles and thanks to being able to take 4 1500kg bombs its one of the few "1 run" jets, meaning it can destroy a symbol tower in 1 pass. It really is pretty much the best at everything after the 22

And the cannon on it is a beast!

edit as over g has hi jacked this thread, name these planes (well they dont have a name but what are they?)

Its a plane made by a child in their pottery class ?

Erm.... something you get inside a kinder egg?


Not to east to tell what they are to be honest.

a plane from Chitzen Itza. Quimbaya culture. insect in gold.
on display in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC.
but i think it is a fake.

name this plane

...http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3555/...ee2c4d6591.jpg

its not a plane its a shipwreck with barnicals
serious though no idea

Ju 87?

Thats what i would of said at first, a JU87 due to that long engine. Failing that... maybe one of the italian planes?

i was looking at the shape of the cockpit and the wing root. seems to be quite thick.

I agree, and the fact that the exhaust ports are along the bottom of the engine. Does suggest it to be a JU87

for getting the 210 here is mine
http://aircraft-planet.com/wp-conten...m-belgrade.jpg

exactly. stuka...
the only one in germany... hmmm. ^^

p80 starfighter
