not griping - not upset. amused. although BadAim brings up a good point, I have forgotten where the V13 came from. maybe Oleg, not Daidalos. sorry, if that is the case.

the V13/B-2 had the armor that wasn't installed in the A-0 (is it included in the game's damage model?). the most obvious was the windscreen. there were also two rear view mirrors, a larger nose wheel that had to rotate 45 degrees to fit in the wheelwell and some minor changes in the cockpit. are these variances important? eh, maybe, or not. what i find amusing is occasionally when people ask if a certain plane can be added or made flyable and the powers that be seem to be not very interested in it they say they can't do it because they don't have precise and accurate references and they don't want to make a mistake. odd, since many of the existing models have mistakes of one sort or another. I don't think a game on this scale can be perfect and i don't care too much, anyway. it is what it is, and i like it. Daidalos is a good outfit and overall seems to put out higher quality work than Oleg's crew, actually. (i am seriously looking forward to 4.10) but, if someone went on an easter egg hunt they could probably find a nitpick or two to at least disagree on with them as well - but i, for one, won't look that close - lol.

example of a stupid nitpick (Oleg): all nosewheels in game are treated as steerable - in RL absolutely non of them were, not even the B-29's, they were all castoring. but, dammit, this ain't a taxiing game. lol

carry on - sorry to have interrupted ...
