Even calling their bluff would have cost many thousands of dollars in legal fees, which a small development studio like Maddox Games simply cannot afford, and a publisher like UBI or 1C will not tolerate on a small sales title like a flight sim.

Point of the matter is that NG has no rights to a bureau of ships design and they should have been reminded of that. The fact that the NG lawyer played that card was either ignorance or over reaching.

Admittedly, I am still grumbling as I would like to have had the Yorktown and more importantly the Essex carriers in the game.

FWIW, here is a link to a site with some images of the original Bureau of Ships drawings: http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum...4759&start=120

The Essex class are in the sim.

I emailed NG's department that deals with copyright issues a few months ago to ask them whether they claimed any copyright over images or models of USS Yorktown CV5. Funnily enough I got no reply.

If anyone else wants to enquire:

Default .50 cals

Probably on the wrong page, and I know it has bee mentioned before.
Will a future patch increase the destructive power of the .,50 cal armament.
When you consider old gun camera footage of American Strafing causing transport ships to explode etc, they seem a little weak against aircraft in IL2- '46. I just spent about 40 minutes (single player) putting dents in a FW190
with the .50 cal potato guns on a P-38. Even point-blank didn't make much difference. The Focke-Wulf collected enough ammo to make a stew with!
In the end ramming was the only option. I am quite exhausted.

That's an old bug with the FW 190's DM. From dead six you can shoot your whole ammo belt or even the 37mm cannon from a P39 into the fuselage with little to no effect.

Aim for the wing root or cockpit.
