Sorry to be rude, but a quick lesson in the Queen's English: It's "should have", not "should of".

Is it time for another "Uboats vs. Fleet Boats" thread?

I vote for the B-29!

Sailor Steve · 08-11-11, 10:37 PM

That's Bull.

Perhaps you prefer the Dornier Do 200 or Do 288?

It seems the Japanese used them as well:

I like the B-29 just fine. But that's not a B-29.

You're not suggesting the Soviets would just copy American technology, are you? Shocking thought!

Rockin Robbins · 08-12-11, 02:26 PM

Actually, the German TDC in SH3 and SH4 has an advantage over the American SH4 TDC in that the periscope can be hooked directly to the TDC to update the angle on the bow automatically so you can shoot when you want.

With the American TDC with the PK turned off you have to send a new bearing to the TDC manually to update.

The actual American TDC could do the same thing. It's a game design error that you cannot do so in SH4.

That being said, as far as the game is concerned it leaves American and German TDCs uh..........different. Both can update the bearing automatically, one by timer on the PK and the other by direct hookup between periscope and TDC. Properly executed, an attack by either method ends up with a BOOM!

Now let's argue whether one boom is better than the other.

If you mean the US TDC was linked to the periscope, then no it wasn't and for a very good reason - there is no need. The bugs in the in game TDC (screwing up the solution when you enter new data) make this appear to be a disadvatage when it was not.

Steve is right, the russians developed a copy of a B-29 (the TU-4), but those in the pictures are mere captured B17s.

A link on that, here:

Oh and sorry for bringing up yet another "UB vs FB" poll... shame on me.

What sillyness.

Next you're going to try and make up some silly story on this perfectly normal American fighter:

That looks a bit flimsy Razark... Marks out of ten for armour? I'd say it was a Zero.

I dunno. From what I've heard from some, it was the best U.S. fighter at the time.

You should put it right above the "Distance To Track" indicator!
