A lot of kerbalnauts are familiar with the Ace Combat games, and a lot more know about War Thunder. However, very few know about a hidden gem from the early days of air combat gaming. Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII (Image source: Steam) Just like @TwoCalories's Ace Combat Thread, I decided to make one for Blazing Angels players to talk about their experiences with that game. How well did you fare in the campaign, favorite plane/s and missions, did you ever make it past the Norwegian fjords, playing with family, et cetera. For those who don't know or forgot, Blazing Angels follows the story of American pilots who partake in various iconic battles throughout the Second World War. Some of those battles include but are not limited to: the Battle of Britain, Desert Rats, Pearl Harbor, Midway, D-Day, and then you eventually end in Berlin. The player is an unnamed captain of a squadron of four composed of Tom the "shield," Joe the mechanic, and Frank the hunter; by the way, the captain talks. You can command your wingmen to stay with you, attack enemies, or protect you from incoming threats. The dialogue among the characters is great, and although the music can get repetitive sometimes it still feels appropriate for the situation. I will admit the graphics are mediocre, especially compared to Ace Combat 7, but I'll give Ubisoft a break considering it was released for the Wii in 2007; that was the version I got for Christmas two years later. The cutscenes and "old man captain" narrations before each level were very insightful since I would know more about what I was getting myself into, just like the mission briefings in AC7 only with way less advanced graphics (e.g. model vehicles and/or army guys moving on a blue and red map with the occasional explosion) - just like mission commanders using models on a map in the 1940s. After each mission was completed, I would get treated to another old man captain narration describing the aftermath. If I did well enough, I would get an "Ace" medal - and hear my dad quoting Chicken Little if he was nearby. As for the gameplay itself, although I enjoyed it a lot - and my years of playing it served me well when playing some levels in AC7 last year (despite it being on a PS5) - I was a bit disappointed that I had to do everything. Seriously, a lot of those levels had British/American air and/or ground forces with me besides my wingmen, and all they did was sit there and be green damsels in distress instead of actually blowing up enemies like they're supposed to. I can help take out the carrier decks of the main Japanese fleet, for example, but what was the point of me and the boys protecting the bombers from the Zekes if all they're going to do is fly around and expect me to sink everything? What about you all? What were you experiences with this game - or its lesser-known sequel, Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII?

Hello everyone! I bring you my latest design! It is a seaplane that I have spent a lot of time designing especially for its weight and power, it was difficult to me to get the right balance so I could take off but at last here it is! Tell me what do you think! Its perfect for rescue Jeb from the middle of the ocean https://kerbalx.com/Kerbalyst/PBY-5A-Catalina More Crafts! https://kerbalx.com/Kerbalyst/craft

Does anyone know what mods I should get to build a P-47 in KSP?

Consolidated B-24 Liberator I've known for many years that my Uncle SSgt Lee G. Castille was a casualty of WWII but never knew how he died. Thanks to some help from a kind fellow Kerbonaut @EVA_Reentry sharing his research expertise with me I've gained some details about this incident. He was a crew member of a Consolidated B-24 Liberator. After discovering this it compelled me to build one. I would also like to mention a New Stock Propeller Design, I'm using the Small Nose Cone and the Communotron DTS-M1. Note: I liked the idea of the Old Movie look on the video and also liked the original look so I decided to create both videos.

This is a game where you submit WWII style things to me and fight 2v2, just like BAD-T, except with all branches of the armed forces. The main purpose of this is to have fun, as it doesn't matter who wins or loses. Here are the branches you can choose from: 1: Air Force 2: Navy 3: Army Rules: 1. Do not post mean/inappropriate things 2. You can join multiple branches 3. Have fun! 4. No use of gravity repulsors if using Kerbal Foundries, as gravity repulsors weren't invented at the time. 5. You can build submarines, but they need to stay on the surface 6. You can side with other forum users, but you have to announce the alliance via the Forum. If you do have an alliance, your team will have 1 of each of the user's craft on on team. 7. If there are more than 2 users in your alliance, let's say 4, it will be 4v4. Required Mods: Firespitter (for Air Force) BD Armory (for everything) KAX (for Air Force) WW2 Warships (for Navy) NAS (for Navy) Optional Mods: Kerbal Foundries (if you want to build tanks in the Army) Airplane Plus (for Air Force) KAX (for Air Force) Submit your crafts to me via KSP Forum. Have fun! Wildcat 111

Tomorrow and next Wednesday mark the beginning of the atomic age in a violent way. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Two cities decimated by two bombs. The effects still linger today, in Japan, America, and all across the world. Many people died in the belief that the war would come to a swift end. Although that is up to debate, this thread is not for that. It is to remember the lost lives of the citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

While not the most numerous RAF fighter plane in the war, the Spitfire is arguably the most famous - Considered by some to be the quintessential British fighter. With a top speed of 125 m/s, and fantastic control responsiveness, this is a plane to be reckoned with. This replica is 1:1 scale, and includes functioning flaps and realistic control layouts. Take-Off Procedure: I've found the best way to take off is to lower the flaps and set full throttle, but don't pull up until the plane tips onto the main wheels and the tailwheel is off the ground. Then pull up very gently, and retract the gear and flaps. The replica is also an upgrade to the original Spitfire I made, and is part of my WWII replica project (See signature) which I'll hopefully be working much more on with the onset of summer! Download Enjoy!

A quick stock build of an I-153 "Chaika" (seagull?) biplane I made. Wing-tips are not the curved shape that they were IRL (same with horizontal and vertical stabilizers) And (like all other WWII prop aircraft builds that I plan on doing/have done), some engine detailing (very sparse though, and no way to see it unless crashed or in editor) There are still some issues with "shimmering" due to part clipping I've also been working on a Spitfire, Me 163, and a Fw 190 A, and am going to take a break from aircraft construction for awhile. Any plane requests for later?

Mostly done model of a Fw 190. Landing gear is a bit short, but it does fly on several Juno engines. Has a somewhat detailed engine inspired by @Azimech. Download at http://kerbalx.com/thespacemaniac/Fw-190-D-12 (download I think has been updated) (http://imgur.com/a/uCPma for dev pics) The engine detailing (the airbrake cowling is a bit of a compromise) (Update: Main version released, KerbalX download should be corrected...)

Some attempts at modeling late WWII jets I made earlier A rather chubby Me 262 (based on one I saw on the forum a while ago). Needs cannons *COUGH* @TUKE (Please add mk 108s to your pack) And a P-80 that barely looks like a P-80 (My Gloster Meteor model was so atrocious that I have elected not to show it) Any ideas to improve these models?

Hello all! LCVPs (Landing Craft, Vehicle and Personnel), were used to deliver troops by water, where they would be deployed from transport ships. The basic design and cheap materials made LCVPs straightforward and inexpensive to build. The ramp on this replica is fully functional and surprisingly robust - it uses @Majorjim's thermometer bearing. Use staging to detach the ramp, and when controlling the ramp use Action Group 1 to toggle the latch and pitch controls to raise or lower it.
