haha yeah, it's the only target big enough for me to hit!

I realize how strangely the glass nose of the Blennie was designed. Anyone knows the reason for this?
Another interesting detail: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Blenheim apparently the bomb doors where not opened automatically but by the shear weight of the bombs when they were released and falling on the doors that were kept closed by bungee cords ... reduced bombing accuracy. I wonder if this is simulated in the game. |
Yep to give the pilot a better view over the nose.
The first example of the "Long Nose" Blenheim had a full enclosure like the HEIII. (See lower image below)There were visibility issues with this. The next design had a symmetrical type arrangement to the nose panels (See upper mockup image). This too had over the nose pilot visibilty issues. The solution was to scallop the section immediately in front of the pilot thus giving him a better over the nose view/sightline. http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/9...heimivnose.jpg Strangely the Blenheims ultimate derivative the Beaufort had symmetrical nose panels. The Blenheim V had a solid section here as well. |
