Well it does have an impressive speed for something that big.

Actually rumors of a this movie (or a similar project with the same name) were circulating long before Tuskegee Airmen was announced.

Seems you guys were right, i am so disappointed :(

Review: The laudable 'Red Tails' misses its target

Im still gonna go watch it because im a sucker for WWII movies but i was really hoping for something good *snif*

At least the scenes are nice apparently... so its not all bad, right? ...Right? :damn:

Well the biggest issue with the thing is that it would probably break in the factory, they had enough issues with the tigers chassis. lol

Well they did make something similar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_VIII_Maus

Was never finished. The two tanks they built were a functioning chassis and a mockup turret and a mock up chassis and a functioning turret. The Russians were the ones to put the two halfs together and built a working tank.

(I have a 1/72 Maus on my desk :03: )

Just think if they made that thing in complete kinda working order.

"Hey Hans look at our new tank"

"Ja, it is quite big"

"Ok Fritz, we must head off to the battle"

(starts)

"Ok, lets move"

(revs up abit, puts into first gear! sounds promising!!!)

and it stalls...

No worries the Soviets would come to them eventually. ;)

I saw "Red Tails" today and enjoyed it on its own terms. The film is aimed at teenage boys, circa 1950. Lucas wasn't kidding, the tone is exactly like "Flying Leathernecks"! A peculiar creative choice, for sure, but I take my WW2 dogfights where I can get 'em. If you need realistic flight models and historical accuracy, this ain't the place. It's full arcade mode here.

How do you move the cursor around with such a tiny maus? :06:

The History Channel use to be one of my favorite channels on TV until they took all the military stuff out of it and put it on the Military Channel.

Now all the history channel has is "PICKERS" and that's boring compared to what the History Channel used to have.

Seeing the Promo for Red Tails makes me wish that Fighter Ace had not gone out of business. I doubt it will ever be brought back to life with the current folks who own the rights to it now. They have the willpower but not the money or the expertise. It's a shame too.

But I do agree that some of the loops were unrealistict to say the least.

P51D had a great view and that's an advantage but what they really had over the Germans was numbers and long range. :yeah:

I'd love to see some movies about those WWII submarine boats.

Do you play IL2 online still? Sounds more like the damage modeling is in need of a tweek.

6 fifty cals converging at 800 ft should schred just about any plane or explode it with incindinary/armer piercing ammo.
