Hang Over

OK, here is some items that have been found concerning ships.

The first is a hang over that I remem mentioning concerning earler release.
On the F57B Sabre: Weapon Mount 2 is useless as the bang-bang points UP THROUGH the wing. Thus, it does not fire. Furthermore, STATS indicate Mine & Cruise yet neither are available.

On the F86 Hellcat: Has the same issue with Mount 2. It, too, lacks mine mount.

On a side note: You may want to check your name/number designators. I say this because the F86 jet that flew during the Korean war was called Sabre. So, it is unlikely that it would be given a new number designation. It would be given a Letter Variant as shown on the F57B. I checked my WC books quickly & did not note a Number Designation on either ship mentioned. Which means I could be incorrect. However, I think that unlikely as WC did it correctly with other fighters like the Thunderbolt.

I do like the look of the Vindicator. And I look forward to flying some kittly fighters once the litter is cleaned out.

It is hard to soar with eagles when you fly with turkeys.

I got most of the ship's designation numbers, and stats from Jane's Fighting Space Ships.
The link is on page 3 or so of the main thread, I think.
(I don't have it on my computer due to a fried HDD about a week or so ago.)


Watch your 6!

Well, that is all well & good but does not mean it is correct. But understand.
