Default Starting a guide, anyone interested?

Hellooo!

I've been thinking for some time (3 months, give or take) of making a simple reference guide for judging the distance to enemy aircraft when attacking. The guide would be simple, per plane's page it would contain the target plane's wingspan and 3 screenshots taken from IL2, showing the plane from a) 500m away b) 300m away c) 120m away(<- this being the mostly referred shooting distance in RL WWII aerial combat I've seen).

Anyone have any interest of using it? Would prolly be an .PDF put together.

Perhaps I might start a Guide too:

''How NOT to land''
Read into the history of HunterICX, responsible for many aircraft been send to the scrapyard and stripping entire airforces from their precious crates.

:p

I'll help out. Mind if I add some data about the planes in there, too (i.e. number of crew members, armament, maximum payloads, etc.)?

Of course there is. After watching footage of Hunter, there's no possible way that you could be as bad as him (sorry Hunter...).:rotfl:
