oh yeh, i knew something about those me262s looked weird.
1. they roll incredibly fast;
2. during their roll, they don't yaw at all. something that often seen in arcade flight games.

another thing about one of the ME262s was that its nose was painted entirely of yellow, which i don't think is historically accurate.

I read that the yellow on the 262's, though isn't accurate, may help them in removing any swastikas/markings in post-processing, for countries/organisations that object to it.

Also, there is a love story. Confirmed by someone involved in the filming.

Exactly... Don't get me wrong, I love women... I mean my wife! But there a time and place...
Otherwise, it's an insult to history.
Many brave women have put themselves in peril throughout history, but they would not want their sacrifice belittled by Hollywood stardust...

Night Witches...?

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH
GREAT ONE MATE, very true i'm still laughing.

just of imagine people watching indiana jones with a book of military tactics complaining about everything

Maybe all swastikas should be reversed... Just to take the edge off?...

This whole movie could be fixed really quick, with the opening "in a galaxy far far away..."

If the film does justice to the story then ok il prob watch it and try to forget the P51 pulling a tie fighter turn and the rest of the awful CGI.

Did they get the roll rate in there from the AI roll rate in COD? :o

Oh and David Hayward, nice work again... they stuff you wrote in this thread actually made me gasp :grin:

If that movie got you into airplanes, that's great. :)

People who were already into airplanes went to see Pearl Harbor because we wanted a remake of Tora Tora Tora with modern visual effects, but saw three hours of sappy soap opera instead.

Here's hoping Red Tails is closer to Tora Tora Tora than it is to Pearl Harbor. Even if the planes handle unrealistically, it can still be a good movie.

[QUOTE=Hooves;317035]Jesus, you ingrates. Forget about the CGI, and the damn paint schemes. This is a movie celebrating one of the most successful fighter squadrons of WWII, not to mention the pure astronomical adversity that these pilots had to fight through just to prove how brave they were.

I had the honor of listening to one of these Tuskeegee Airmen speak at my squadron and let me tell you. Nothing that has happened in this AIR FORCE Since vietnam has been more heroic and downright humbling than what those pilots did in Europe.


I swear, reading this forum feels like a kick in the gut sometimes. You fools have NO idea what the GAME is all about. Or what kind of real men it took to go up and accomplish what so many before us have. You, nor I have ever seen war like these men did. And hell, Ive been shot at in Iraq.


Un-believable. Absolutly ZERO respect.[/QUOTE]

Yes, and it will proberly turn into a stupid love story

in fact this movie is just a remake of the 1995 movie "Tuskegee airmen".

really good movie!
