To all,

Bismarck13 has uploaded another version (TF X) of his Beaufighter series, along with a awesome new Japanese bird. Also, his other Beaufighters are also now being restored. :ernae:

Thanks for the hard work!
 
Hmmm . . .

Yep,
The old ones are now mostly restored. There are no screenies, but the files are available!!! :applause:

Hooray!!!

:monkies:
 
The pictures will come, later. For now....it's the files that are the most pressing need.
 
more planes

To be a fair fight in quick combat mode you need six Corsairs or Hellcats in ace mode to one Jinpo...

Cheers

model

was this model used in the pacific?and if so will we be getting any skins done ?where else did this model see action?

I believe that the Beaufighter 21 has a Far East skin, being as how it was made in Australia.

And, now that the downloads are accessible again, I'm sure that skinners might be able to accommodate your request.
 
I don't believe the late series TFX made it to the Far East, although the earlier ones did.

These were mainly operated out of the UK.

I beg to differ old friend...like the old gunfighters are quick to say, its not the plane but the pilot. The Jinpo ain't so tough. Me and my boys in Hellcats (8 man flight) took on respawning flights of 8 Jinpo aces and swept the skies with no losses -- only a couple of guys took non-fatal hits. The boys performed outstandingly at mid to low altitudes. :icon29:

I will say that i was pleasantly surprised at the way my Jinpo adversaries took the fight into the higher altitudes. Up til now the CFS2 AI engine starts the QC fight around 5000 ft and from there the bogies just continue taking it downward to the deck to evade or extend. But this Jinpo just keeps climbing on almost every maneuver until you're mushing around in thin air! :icon_lol:

My last kill was at 35,000!!!...unprecedented in CFS2 QC! I followed it down a bit in the screenie, here at 30,000. My boys didn't perform so well at these heights, so the kills on high-flying stragglers fell to me alone.


Kudos to Bismarck and crew!!!:guinness::guinness::guinness:

It has a turbocharger, so, it can really fight at high altitudes. Flying alone I shoot down six Hellcats at ace mode in 15 minutes. The hardest plane to shoot down with the Jinpo was the P-38 (with two engines you need a lot more of bullets).

30,000 feet!? I have never had a dogfight at those altitudes in QC! How did you do it peperez? For me, this is a first. :medals:

It began at the standard height (around 5,000 feet) and ended at around 35.000 feet. Testing the plane, I got around 40,000 feet with the Jinpo. Fortunetaly for the Americans the Japanese didn't suceed to get the project ready for B-29 interceptions...

Guess you never checked the service ceiling for late 1945 production D/H Mustangs and P47N's. Even the box stock Bearcat had a ceiling in excess of 38,700 ft. Any one of these would have been more than a match for Jinpo's flown by what remained in pilot skill and experience within the dying Japanese air forces of '45.

Besides, prop planes of WW2 couldn't effectively fight at their service ceiling anyway. That's was just a bragging number for the spec sheets. After they reached critical altitude they became progressively useless for dogfighting as they continued to climb to their ceiling. But jet engines were, and still are, another matter. ;)

I known the P-51D/H and P-47N performance well. What I'm saying is that Jinpo could take them on equal terms if they have a decent pilot. I'm not beginning a new macho discussion about who has the best and most barve men, okay? I think it was fortunately for Americans that Japanese forces had no high altitude performers at WW2. Jinpo was a very fine design. I used the same wing profile and all avaiable data for build the flying model and I think it's very near the real plane could do. By the way, he is still a good dogfighter at around 12,000 meters. It's light and had a very big wing platform. The real thing, probably, will get a lot of engines problems caused by lack of trained workforce.

The F4F was used at 30000 alot at Guadalcanal. Most of the enemy bombers came in the same way up the slot about noon every day at around 28000FT along with an escort at about 29 to 30000Ft.The F4F pilots used a highside pass going from 30000FT down to the cloud base. After there 1st pass they would hide in the clouds and then head home.I tried fighting the F4F stock and 1% aircraft and found them to be real dogs at 30000ft untill you gave them time to build up speed and then you didn`t want to make any real sharp turns.It sure would be nice if we could put some blowers and supperchargers on thies aircraft.
