i didnt see it

#

goober

#

i did check if their was a suggestion

#

and theirw as none

night harbor
#

it's planned anyway so we just need to wait until someone makes the model

#

besides the readthetrello things, this plane does look cool

#

skinny b29

pallid jetty
#

took me a bit to get the info of the plane for de game

#

b-29 if it sucked

B-29 but german frfr

sudden sigil
#

Planned to make it, if all goes well it might be added.

charred knoll

#

Slightly lower payload capacity in exhachge for 3 times the range.

#

Also no magnesium engine fires.

dont care

#

#

No it doesn't.

#

Then why did it take nearly 4 years and 2 nukes to defeat them?

charred knoll
#

they were already defeated, it just took them 4 years and 2 nukes to admit it

nothing intimidated the japanese...

#

but you're right about one thing, the B-29 did suck, but for one major reason

#

it took to long to build

#

we should have sent them to germany WHATWHATWHATWHAT

poor accuracy????

sudden sigil
#

Watch the Schwalbes and Komets pick them out of the sky like plums.

charred knoll
#

now your bullshitting

sudden sigil
#

Hold up, let me get a blueprint.

charred knoll
#

poor accuracy is myth caused by bad intepretation of statistics

sudden sigil
#

What statistics and how are they poorly interpreted?

#

Basically a B-29 was good on paper, but it was so complex it had to work perfectly. If it didn't work perfectly, then there where major problems.

charred knoll
#

in order to calculate the success rate for the RC turret kills you have to consider a lot of variables so its easy for the data to be skewed in the wrong direction

And having an aircraft that the crew have trouble flying due to complexity is not a good thing either.

Also we saw what bad mainance/pilot training did to the 737's reputation recently.

fuck boeing if messershit made the b-29 i would be a messershit meatrider too but THEY DIDNT

sudden sigil
#

Cause Messerschmitt has no need in copying American designs. Especially since that B-29 of yours could not have made a transatlantic combat mission anyway.

charred knoll

the pacific ocean is bigger than the atlantic lil bro

wait till you hear about the UK malice

sudden sigil
#

Germany did not occupy the UK, and even if they did, still too far from the states.

charred knoll
#

anyways there's also canada and greenland

sudden sigil
#

I meant that the Me 264 needs much more range than a B 29 would ever need.

static solar
#

no, Messerschmitt made a lot of shit designs

sudden sigil
#

Like?

#

What the fuck?

#

these are some good examples

#

especially the 210

find a b-29 version

sudden sigil
#

Just a bit ahead of their time and with minor issues.

#

Me 210 wasn't too good I agree.

static solar
#

the 262 was consistently unstable

#

the only reason it has swept wings is to make it more stable

sudden sigil
static solar
#

bruh

sudden sigil
#

It was more difficult to control due to higher speeds, but only became unstable when exceeding the maximum.

#

I belive 850 km/h, could be pushed to 870, but risky.

#

Also the HG II variant solved that.

uh huh

#

oooo its a all out war rn

sudden sigil
#

Yea, they're upset America didn't have cool rocket fighters and ultra long range bombers.

static solar
#

most Nazi bombers were shit anyways

charred knoll
sudden sigil
#

For bombers, they had the Ju-390s and Me 264s. Not much though.

twin marsh
#

They had 370 komets? shock

#

I know it was largely a death trap 🪤 but imagine if they had all the kinks worked out earlier on the war

sand vigil
#

wow, they'll totally win the war guys!!

#

with all 370 Komets against the horde of allied armies

Aint no way dude is parroting wehraboo talking points 😭

#

Also you can't really argue that the Me 264 of being better when it wasn't even able to be implemented into mass production and used in actual sorties with tangible outcomes.

sudden sigil
#

It honestly wasn't.

#

Main advantage of the Me 264 was the range, and testing showed it really lacked it.

rose schooner
# sudden sigil Yea, they're upset America didn't have cool rocket fighters and ultra long range...

You could also argue that the US didnt have to make such items to win the war, as by 1944 the US in essence had all the war winning equipment it needed. Even then much of the Wunderwaffe that Germany made would have not made any impact on the direction of the war. Hell alot of German "technical superiority" is pretty minor and only effected tactical outcomes at most. Where as the Allies had the power of the sun.

rose schooner

#

Also they never tested it with full payload and defensive armaments.

rose schooner
#

Was that a result of poor design or due to the Germans not having access to the right materials that they needed.

sudden sigil
#

Both.

#

It had design flaws to begin with, and lack of quality materials made it even worse, since reliable engines need some pretty good heat resistant alloys.

#

Plus control issues.

#

@bitter topaz Hey, do you by chance have any info and detailed blueprints/cockpit blueprints for the Messerschmitt P.1107?

#

Me-264 successor.

#

Searched all over, but I can't find the plans.

#

Also it was actually built (partially), happen to know of any images of the prototype?

bitter topaz

make a passenger version

#

Didn't even have jet fighters in the war, let alone rockets and flying wings.

static solar
#

yeah cause those worked

#

the only successful wunderwaffe was the V1 bombs which just eventually got shot down by the British

sudden sigil
#

Um no, Me 262 was successfull, the V-2 was somewhat successful, and super successfull as a base for future space technology, type XXI submarines where succsessfull, King Tiger, Arado Ar 234 Blitz, all sorts of guided weapons such as the Fritz X, really late war Messerschmitt projects, early war battleships, and much more.

static solar
#

uh huh….

sudden sigil
#

Really doubt it.

obtuse island
#

But it would be funny

rose schooner
#

King tigers were if anything a detriment to the German war effort by actively wasting the limited resources that they had at that point

#

The handful of "battleships" that germany did made were a waste of resources

sudden sigil
# rose schooner What qualifies as successful though, none of the listed military projects were a...

Successful is when a weapon meets its requirements in combat, regardless of the war's outcome. Yes, good weapons are crucial in winning a war, but there are many other factors that go into it. Even if you have superior technology, going against the US, USSR, UK and the other allied nations. There where 127 million people drafted into WW2, and 2/3 were allied. Resource availability and production capacity are also important.

#

Germany was doomed from the start here, even if they won, they would have collapsed due to crappy economic model that functioned on debt and conquest, but this doesn't mean their weapons weren't good or successful.

rose schooner
#

Would you consider it successful even if it drains limited resources, without gaining much in return?

sudden sigil
#

No, so I'll retract my statements for the battleships and King Tiger. Good technology but not resource efficient.
