Dude, didn't I just point out that we really won it? Sure South Vietnam fell to the communists a few years after we withdrew, but we got movies out of it like the Rambo series, the Deer Hunter, numerous episodes of Airwolf, Delta Force etc. Thats more than you guys ever got out of the War of Spanish Succession, so whos the real winner, I ask you?

But seriously, lets put aside the nationality issues and just think of this from the perspective that all of us are game players and BoP fans:

Waht would you guys think about high altitude bomber escort? Bear in mind that a lot of the planes in BoP are designed for peak performance over 12,000ft like the later 109s, the 190s the P-51s, later Spits etc. I think it would be really cool and different from whats already there, if done right.

Yep.. the B-52 also has those blast shields.. Also.. I will not say that I have one , because of course they would be US Government property, and maybe even "Classified".. But They had Flash blindness kits in the pilot and co-pilot seat kits. They are a plastic case, with a pair of the coolest black with gold lenzes goggles. Also in the kit is a sealed eye patch. The concept is while bombing with nukes, they were to place the eye patch over one eye, then the goggles. The goggles, you can actually look strait into the sun with. WHile bombing low level runs, the goggles would protect your eyes from the nuke flash. The eye patch was a secondary procaution in case the goggles did not work like they should. In that case, you can remove the goggles and the eye patch and at least have one eye to fly home with.. I still have "memories" of one of those kits...
