MISSED ME YET?

Back on this game for a little, and will definitely check out SP2 when it's out.

Basically, in the past one year or two during my SP hiatus... I visited a few aviation museums, notably the Pearl Harbor and one near the B-24 Assembly Plant in Michigan. And I was fascinated by the SBD's iconic diving brakes and performance on the battlefield.

Watch the Teaser/Documentary HERE

    @realSavageMan Thank you, man! Yes, I was quite active for the last 3 years. But not much these days for some family trips overseas and many other things. I will be back some time

    Hmm, does this good plane of yours have a dedicated ordnance catapult-ejector? I'm going to need it then.

    Nice replica ! it is flying very well, and it's looking good (not a fan of those weird shaped roundels tho)... For me the gunner has a quite slow speed, and it's very sensitive, which makes aiming difficult. But apart from that, everything is done nicely.

    Excellent job! I actually just started on a Dauntless inspired dive bomber. Didn't finish it in time for the SP2 demo. I had a lot of fun dogfighting on the WWII servers and people flying with tail gunners definitely had an advantage. I'm sure I'll see you in the skies after March. You'll have to modify those flaps/spoilers with the new hole cut feature they've been teasing.
