Oleg we need the K-7!

That's good I was not trying to manuever the thread to make some kind of "SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT".

One thing about forums, you can't tell what the other feller is thinking while he/she is reading your postings.

We all need to allow some slack, or better still... not make conclusions hastily.

I enjoy reading the postings of others, even when I don't agree with them.

These forums are good for us all. We get to know and respect each other from all over the world.

Funny business aside, I wouldn't mind seeing the K-7 in the sim. Oleg K-7 -- not a chance, but its a great idea to go play with. The K-7 aroused huge public interest in Stalingrad before the Crash. Even more interesting is Kalinin's advanced designs in general.

The best historical gunship was Sikorsky's Ilya Morametz (sp?) biplane bomber, the "B-29" of 1915, with huge framed glass nose and a positive kill score against German fighters. Remember the Eastern Front WW1 sim that was being developed around a WW1 Sikorsky fighter, but the developer joined the current Maddox-esque WW1 sim team (don't know them, online only lala). Sikorsky super bomber would be a crowd pleaser in a WW1 sim.
