That's one of the main questions for both "sides".

Maybe we have to choose between 2-pitch (Hurri, Spit) and manual variable pitch (Bf 109, Bf 110) ... disputable which one is better.

2-pitch allows easy flying without much thinking about engine RPM (except for power dive) but you will have suboptimal power output while climbing or in combat. (The "fine" setting was only allowed for take-off and landing, not for climbing or fighting)

Manual variable pitch requires constantly attention on the engine rpm and adjusting the propeller pitch, but when set properly gives you optimal power in any situation. If set wrong you get suboptimal power in the best case, but in the worst case it kills your engine in a few seconds.

Or we have constant speed for Hurricane and Spitfire and automatic for Bf 109 and Bf 110, then not much will change to the current situation. Propaby damage from overloading the engine with high boost and low rpm with the constant speed unit.

Hello Oleg

I fly mainly on-line on the Warclouds server where each side has assigned tasks of hitting ground targets and/or covering the attacking group or covering the targets. This works well with groups of 20 to 40 people on the server.

In BOB SOW On-Line servers it will be impossible to get realistic type BOB missions with so few human pilots. I would like to see the human bomber pilot be able to select 5/10/20/or100 etc AI bomber pilots to follow him on take-off or airstart. They could either follow him and drop bombs on his command or the human pilot could select a target and waypoints for the AI to follow. With an ability for the human pilot lead to be able to divert the formation to alternate targets while inflight. Human players could jump into any one of the aircraft in the formation at any time. This could also work for formations of fighters, where one human pilot could takeoff as leader of 2 to 12 AI fighter pilots who would attack at his command. The amount of squadrons would have to be limited by the server because you wouldn't want each human pilot to take up a squardron of fighters. Again human pilots would be able to take a slot in the fighter formation at any time.

I know you are modeling the ability to jump into other aircraft on the fly but not sure if you are modelling the human pilot to control a flight of more than one aircraft in an on-line situation.

I am curious - how gunners weapon reload will be realised?

Will it be possible to change cartridge clip of MG 15 for example?

Aslo: MG-FF/M, mounted on Bf110C-4, had 180 rounds per each cannon. But cartridge clip is only 60 ruonds each, and actually gunner was those who changed it.

What if he will be killed? Will be reload possible in that case?

Oh you're really screwed then, Feuerfalke.

My dad really is colour blind. It's sometimes funny to watch him try to decifer between football teams with similar coloured uniforms. (or between colours he can't differentiate.)

He'll think the Defensive Back makes an interception, and it turns out to be the opposing team's receiver. D'oh!!!!!

He's gotten quite good though on keeping the teams seperated, but still on ocassion he'll get flummoxed.

Well, I'm not colorblind - that is actually what the guard says, when he falls in that movie (At least on the German synchronization). But I know the pain to be colorblind from a friend of mine.
