WOw seriously guys, start your own PM(s) fight

You guys always go at eachother, like two dungbeetles fighting over some dung


Oh and don't drag me into this

On topic, either way if it were a stall or whatever it's too hollywood. That means it happens too fast, at too short distance. It's like a car would do a U-turn with the handbrake... Plane looses speed too fast, turns too fast, and fires without airspeed even. He would not be able to keep his nose up with that low airspeed so IRL it would have to be done in a vertical manner... Only did this once in IL-2, in a P-38 Got a zero after doing a stall-turn coming straight at him again. I totally won that day

As the Project isn't mentioned in the ImdB.com anymore, ist pretty sure that the Dambusters remake has been cancelled.

I tried to PM David, but his attitude is the same than on the forum, he just loves doing it. I don't even know why I bother, all I can hope for is that he manages to get himself banned soon.

As for the topic, yes well, a P-38, having two engines with propellers rotating in opposite directions, is more likely to contrast torque in such a situation and tumble backwards. Still, it would be a hair raising, edge of the envelope, "how the hell did I get myself into this?!" situation.

yay, I've missed these forums.

Looks fine to me, god forbid anyone makes a movie about anything WWII related. The film releases in Jan 2012, and I can say for certain that most of those Special FX shots aren't final, the sound design has been done by the movie trailer people with stock SFX, so those will also change in the final mix.
For action and pace, some of the scenes may have been sped up slightly time wise so they could fit the shot into the rhythm of the trailer making the FM look a little strange.

A 2 hour movie will never fully capture 100% of the details of WWII, that should be assumed first off. Band of Brothers did a pretty good job telling 0.0001% of Easy company of the 101st, and that was a 10 hour mini series.

My final thought on the matter is; this film could inspire those who have no idea who the "Red Tails" are to pick up a book and read all about them. Think of it as a catalyst agent to a long road to becoming a "know it all" negatron like some people.
