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...

i get what you are saying that is just too cool mate i envy you guys who got to fly in these thing i allways wanted to join the raf as a bomber pilot but i was just too stupid (should of paid more attention at school) so lots of respect to you mate

not missing much mate,

serpah and morgoth are online and they work well together. Just lost 20-6 to them. They both had the LA-7 and its like using a cheat lol. Its just to damn good. Thought i could maybe out run it in a straight line with the spitXVI but its not happening!! its crazy

[MorgothNL]

seraph was using the La-5FN to be correct . nice game though foz .The outrunning worked for a few sec, untill you made a turn

[Tudorp15]

thats no fair.. MOST of that score was MY deaths.. lol... I would spawn, die, spawn die.. Jeesshh. Give a drone a break, hahhah

Ive always used the XVI ina mass dogfight so this time tried something new, sisnt work to well though. When i was damaged enough i was flying straight for you so you could shoot me down and get your kill.

Maybe the IX would be a better bet next time. The turn is slightly better with that one but the tops speed isnt.... hmm choices to make.

Great game though, you both work well together

Reading this very interesting thread, I never read whether or not anyone would actually like to have high altitude bomber cover missions from the American perspective as some kind of DLC.

And would also be curious what kinds of missions or perspective you'd rather have.

[Tudorp15]

Yes...

I am a SAC kinda person myself.. I doubt that would ever really happen though, because high alt bombing missions are rather boring and not filled too much with action unless of course the bomber is attacked.. I have flown in a B-52 on a mock mission (yes a real one, in real time), and to be honest, as interesting as it was, I questioned what the hell I was thinking when I decided to ride with them. I was sitting in that B-52 in the EW officer seat for 13 hours, and never really saw much (that seat does not have a window)... I sat there in the dark for the most part staring at a huge panel with red back lighting reading gauges, etc listening to radio chatter for 13 spine numbing hours...

Wheather or not I buy any DLC will depend on:
A) how well the upcoming patch solves current issues and
B) how expensive the DLC is

[Robotic Pope]

crap that doesn't sound good for our Hurricanes. I'm online now.

Did you know that the Vulcan could out turn an F-15 at very high altitude? cool huh.
