I know which Bismark I’ll be exploring

https://www.shipexplorergame.com/bismarck

My 15" shells from Barham and Renown will be exploring her. Still have a while to go before Rodney.

I’m back! I took a break from WarThunder for about 2 weeks, and discovered that I am unable to post if I have not played recently. That is not the point of this post. Over the weekend I went to Lagoon in Utah, and while I was in the Area I took the opportunity to go to the Hill Air force museum. I took some photos similar to how I did at the War Hawk museum.

Don’t worry, this time I will use spoilers ;)

what was in the museum


This was a overview of the whole museum.

B-25J

P-47

[details=“B-29 + MKIV Atom
bomb”]



[/details]

AIR-2A Genie Nuclear rocket



This was designed to be fired into a group of bombers. It would explode inside the formation and annihilate the whole squadron without having to do multiple passes

B-17 + B-17 bomb bay view




Restored V-2 flying bomb (it might be a replica, idk)

B-24 + B-24 dorsal turret


Front of a P-38


I was interested in seeing the size difference between the .50 cals and the 20mm

Front of a F-100, F-102, and F-104




Apparently the long probe at the front of the F-100 folds.
Also, would like the F-102 in the game :)

AIM-4 FALCON



the description was sun bleached so it might be hard to read, but essentially it says the AIM-4 was the worlds first operational air to air missile.

F-111E


What a boat, it is huge, I took a photo of the fuel dump nozzle too

AGM-45 SHRIKE


would be cool as an effective counter specifically to radar SPAA. It is an air to ground missile designed specifically to target radar signals.

AIM-9B


A1E Skyraider


Modified B-57


I never took a photo of the description panel, so in couldn’t tell you what modification it is, it some other letter in the name: B_-57

MiG-21 + MiG-17



I tried taking a photo of the cockpit of the MiG-17, but the canopy was so foggy and yellowed I think I deleted it.

Kaman Huskie




Really interesting helicopter design imo. Never seen one quite like it

[details="Sikorsky MH-53 Pave Low IV”




I was definitely impressed with the size of this thing
[/details]

Rockwell OV-10A Bronco




Would make an interesting strike aircraft I think :)

F8 Crusader

A-10 + GAU-8 Avenger


F-117 Nighthawk




Had some of the panels removed, idk why

U2C Dragonlady


SR-71C Blackbird






What I found interesting is that this plane is still airworthy! They fly it around once in a while. There is probably some way to buy an expensive ticket to fly in the auxiliary cockpit.

F-22A Raptor




It seems nearly surreal to me to be this close to one. In my mind it is still some super secret government protected aircraft. Yet here I was right next to one!

F-15 Eagle + M-61 Vulcan




F-16 + assorted armament and cockpit





MQ-1 Predator drone



F-80, F-89, and F-86F





Will add more of my photos later, cya!

This is from the WT Submarines discussion.

Nice!

Though I’m pretty certain that first F-111E picture is actually an F-105

Play realistic

That Real ZSU-57-2 and Real APHE Round and REAL LEAKED DOCS? KAMERAD GIB ME DAS SEKRET DOKUMENT!

Oh, my bad, I will fix that when I add the rest (I’m too lazy to right now) you are correct. There was an F-105 there and I took a similar shot of the F-111 that is probably why I confused them

I just lost my 270+ day streak because I logged in less than 20 minutes later than I should’ve :( I thought I only missed one day too (which doesn’t reset your streak, but I guess I missed 2.

Also has anyone else been encountering errors when posting responses? Half the time I get “405 error” and have to resend my comment.

Most of use where also getting the errors.

They’ve gone away for me after a number of posts from the last time the forums went down.

I have a friend who hates my sim clips where I fly close to the ground.

Naturally, I had to give them something special.

Third try’s the charm.

what y’all think?

Reminds me of a game i sometimes play on Roblox called “Plane crazy” whenever I feel creative I’ll boot it up and build something like this. It can take lots of time and dedication. I bet you put in lots of effort.

A+
