5,795 DragonAerotech  8.2 years ago

Designed by the newly reorganized aeronautical firm Suomi Imperiumi Lentokonetehdus (Finland Imperial Aircraft Factory) in 1943, the SILK model 16 was to be a large transport seaplane from the outset. Its first variant models were a success on the international market, serving as transoceanic passenger liners and unarmed civilian cargo aircraft. The version designed for and adopted by Se Suomi Imperiumi was the SILK-165 Hanhi for transporting goods between the mainland and its distant possessions - especially its colonial territories. Armed with four machine guns in two turrets it is not an easy target for fighters armed only with guns.

CG 1, Airbreaks via the VTOL slider.

CG 2 Activates the defensive turrets also operated via the VTOL slider.

Note: On takeoff, do not ride the elevator but when she starts showing signs of lifting off tap lightly on the elevator repeatedly to break the water's surface tension or you'll plunge the tailplane into the drink and lose speed,

    That sounds good to me. I keep no less than two cans of repellant nearby at any time. I refuse to let them win. @DragonAerotech

    @TheColonel I can't say I game outdoors but I've been known to spritz down in mosquito repellant and take my laptop out to the front porch to research, write or read an eBook.

    Right now just mobile, but I have a very fast 64bit PC with 16GB's of RAM. I suppose I'd enjoy SP more on that. But the tablet is convenient. I decided I'll be getting a top of the line iPad in a couple of months. I just use this antiquated iPad 2 for fun. I take it to the beach and don't really have to worry about damaging or losing it. That's a plus because I spend a lot of time outdoors even when gaming,@DragonAerotech

    @TheColonel Do you play on mobile or PC? That's one issue I often run into. I -LOVE- detail but that doesn't mesh well with mobile user limitations. >.<

    This is great. I doubt it will run on my machine. But I like it.
