bout to be overdue

In the Weimar Republic.

in 53 minutes minimun.

It can come any minute now, actually.

? no the last few blogs came around now

nah they come every 2 hours

There just a 2 missile difference and the diffrence in not like the sparrow and er

or atleast in my come they come at 12.00 14.00 16.00 18.00 and 20.00 maybe 22.00 if gaijin is crazy

I just got shot by obus de rupture.

That has never been a rule, and plenty have come at different times.

The double rudder system was developed by Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm; it wasn’t dropped due to anybody’s refusal to participate in the EFA; it was dropped because of financial cuts.

However, it was also Germany that had been pushing for the adoption of the tail section with double stabilizers (because they wanted a pure air-to-air aircraft); the British wanted a multirole and were less interested in extreme agility.

Spoiler

This decision was first explored on the ACA / EAP.

Warton (BAE) did extensive trade studies on one versus two tails in 1982 and felt the performance benefit to the ACA configuration was minimal and outweighed by additional weight and compexity. High alpha capability was an MBB obsession and not a major concern for BAE or the RAF.

For EAP the initial plan was MBB doing centre fuselage and vertical tails, and AIT the rear fuselage, but then BAE had to take these over when the other partner nations cut funding and went with largely Tornado rear fuselage including a single Tornado fin. It worked well enough on EAP.

When EFA design was finalised, two versus one tails was re-examined again, but the same conclusion was reached as before. For the given requirements, low drag and weight and adequate stability was the right solution.

You know what be cool? Getting his aircraft as a skin into the game, alongside with aces in the previous months. Although I cant find which one he flew, since the only relevant info was like a tamiya IL-2 kit with white 12 decals.

But on the other hand we have the famous spitfire RF-D etc.

that is when 99% of dev blogs come

I was gonna say, don’t they come seemingly at random within a certain timeframe

No, it’s not.

Yeah, usually within a roughly four hour window.

No, you haven’t.
