why do people care about aircrafts? it seems autistic

>>109252
ww2 fighter planes are cool and ww2 navy ships are even cooler, thats why ppl like those keyed thing

one of the most keyed, aryan, kino things to ever fly.

I like the MiG-31

>>109255
you just enlightened me

>>109258
>Hawker Hunter
>O-2 Skymaster
Autistic choices, but still very aryan

Hawt

I aryanheart do 335
post unusual and experimental designs from ww2

>>109288
its hard to believe that the retards thought this would work
it still looks kind of cool

>>109337
there's a purity to the idea of having no wings just speed. The sentiment is cool

>>109252
The white man has a spiritual connection to vehicles and machinery. During Operation Overlord, Spitfire pilots would deliver beer to troops on the ground. Once the (((generals))) banned this, they'd smuggle it, with one particular technique being to fill a fuel tank with beer.

Aryan RAFgods

I would love to fly one of these.

>>109470
Goyim raisin.

>>109531
transport planes are extremely cool, Il-2 also rocks
I definitely need to mention the C-119, it looks really unique

here are some other planes (and a helicopter) that I also like.

spacecraft are technically aviation, aren't they?

>>110071
The first pic is a lander from the Venera program right? Always found that program interesting.

>>109246 (OP)
i really like the german and nip ones from ww2. these three mostly. the FW-190 is keyed, just a wonderful example of good engineering. have an 1780mm RC one from BlackHorse wich i havent flown yet, i cant wait to crash it one of these weekends lol

>>109470
i think the americans made ice cream that way in the pacific. the low temperature of the tank and vibration of the engine would make cream into ice cream

>>110073
space probes are kino

>>109246 (OP)
I wouldn't say they're a favorite but the helis used before the Vietnam War (mainly the Korean War) always interested me.

It's interested me to see how they developed, well that and nobody really talks about them that much

>>110708
if I were stupid rich I'd love to own a piasecki shawnee and a catalina

>>110710
I've been randomly thinking about how nice it would be to live in a Catalina for about ten years now. Just imagine travelling the world, stopping off at random exotic shitholes and Pacific islands to drink rum and coconut juice before setting off again.

fucking loved dance of the vampires in red storm rising, trying to learn command modern operations so i can live out my fantasies further.
unrelated but anyone know if sea power ncma is worth it?

>>110746
I barely ever played any simulators but it seems interesting.
>49 euros
never mind

early cold war aircraft are kino

>>110923
I kind of wish that this period wasn't so dominated by missiles, makes it cancer to play in sims unless you're bombing third world yokels in sandals.

>>111000
game name?

>>111021
Il2 1946 with the BAT mod. If you've got ~100GB spare then it's absolutely worth it, I seriously think it's still the best single-player sim experience you'll get with all the custom and dynamic campaigns that are out there, and it's just fun in a way that DCS, Il2 Great Battles and War Thunder aren't. There are even a few online communities still playing, I think there's a decent number of War Thunder zoomers growing up and managing to trickle in.

Just wanted to let y'all know that you can buy this for 50k

>>111000
nice get

>>110922

theres a lockheed T-33 for sale on facebook btw

Tu-154, I think it just looks good

I again encourage anyone reading to get Il2 1946.

>>111130
>>110923
Wowwwwwwwwwwww

>>110708
because they're so fucking ugly

>>111151
1946 is also amazing, however I'd reccomend Il-2 Great Battles more

I am aware of the smaller amount of aircraft and a higher price, it geniuenly is super fun and doesn't look like raisin. ALso it's really optimised so it runs smoothly

>>111159
I honestly wouldn't. It pains me because I actually have more hours in GB than 1946 and I feel strange sympathy for the developers but I recently uninstalled it and haven't looked back. Yeah it's very pretty and it's a better simulator and has a nice and detailed damage model but as a game I'm of the mind that it's just worse in every way.

>bad community
Maybe it's because I've never joined some sekrit club that flies missions or whatever but my impression of the public servers is that they combine the worst of War Thunder and sim autism by being an air deathmatch that's completely dominated by 10k hour nolifers hunting noobs in packs. The 1946 community I'm in is way more relaxed and mostly plays co-op missions but even the dogfight mode seems like it'd be more fair and exciting because the maps are smaller and most seem to play with icons enabled and with quick respawning

>less plane variety
This hurts dynamic campaigns because it limits the sorts of missions you can fly and makes them feel a lot narrower and artificial. Modded campaigns in 1946 just feel a lot more alive, with random bombers, recon aircraft, etc flying around on their own silly little missions. It's not that bad in GB but I'd give the edge to 1946 anyway.

>slower and worse ai
This is really what kills the singleplayer for me. I think a lot of the feeling of sluggishness to me comes from longer loading times, but the G force tolerances in GB are waaaaaay more punishing and yeah ok I guess that's realistic but it isn't fun to have 5 minutes of decent manoeuvering and then your pilot is exhausted for the rest of your mission, particularly since the AI is awful, or at least it was back when I played. In 1946 the AI is deadly at high veterancies and apparently it's even better in the final versions of the game (BAT mod is on earlier version), while the GB AI is just stupid. It can't dogfight at all, if your planes are roughly equal then it'll spin around in circles forever until you kill it or your pilot passes out while if its plane is faster or more powerful, it'll slowly climb away forever.

And of course, if you want to get into it then you're stuck having to dish out $$$ for a billion different expansions, public servers rotate their time period so you may find you're just not allowed to fly anymore and obviously 1946 doesn't have this problem.

>>111094
I already know how to pirate, but still thank you :).
I just think that 49 euros for a game is ridiculous evendoe games now cost 60-80€ (like who can waste that much money???).

>>111162
Very fair points, in some ways I prefer 1946 aswell and I also feel a sympathy for the devs (probably because they made the best Fw 190 simulation out there geg). It's true the multiplayer enviroment in GB is fucking miserable. I haven't played a single MP match without being frustrated and hunted by absolute sweating niggers, not to mention the high realism, which makes some aircraft barely flyable. I just play campaigns and quick missions with my own pace, I find fun in simple missions and dogfights (sometimes with a friend in coop)

However, for me, I still enjoy GB much more for it's simple UI and straightforward flying

>>111162
Also the AI in CoD is fucking brutal aswell

I transheart the TA-152. Is my taste raisin?

>>111252
all aircraft are kino, doesn't matter what it is.

>>111252
No not at all. The Fw190 is aryan as fvk and long wings are erotique like long legs on women.
>>111170
Nice clip. Well I'm glad you're enjoying it, I think it would be nice in good company but I'm a shy gigasperg so I post on imageboards instead of getting to know other autists in niche hobbies.

>>111252
Ta-152 is actually kind of underrated in a sense that other Wunderwaffes get much more attention (like Me 262 or He 162) and the aircraft itself (or atleast in Il-2) is a very good, so no, not a raisin choice at all

>>111170
Shooting down amerimutts over europe is very gemmy
