intercontantal bomber

[unmerged(14969)]

as im sure most of u dont know germany [in real life] completed a stealth bomber. yes usa dind not invent it!. any way. thay wher also makeing a version of it that chold fly from berlin to new york to dc and back to berlin. and thay wher a year or less a way. this bomber chold also cary 1-2 ataomic bombs and it flew so high it chold not be shot down by flak nor intersepted by any type of fighters. so y dont the ppl add it to the next pathc!?!?!? if u dont beleve me turn on history chanal now!!!!! i also saw the show befor so dont think im just make this up as the show gos on..

The clean (unmodded) version of the game does not reconize the German intercontinental stealth bomber.

This mod by MKSheppard overhals the tech tree and among other things includes an intercontinental bomber. However I doubt stealth technology could, or ever will be, represented in the game.

well

well i found pics of the stealth bombers so i chold post them if some one chold tell me how to post them

 

[ComteDeMeighan]

well....

I'm watching the show as well but they said the bombers they were making could carry only one 'dirty' bomb. Not an atomic bomb per se.

 

[unmerged(14969)]

still... it will do a lot of damage.. i whold like to post pic so plz tell how to post pics

You have them on your hard-drive? Go to www.coolfreepages.com , www.topcities.com or www.20megsfree.com. Sign up, upload the pics and post their urls here. I'd quite like to see this bomber you're talking about.

after you have server copy its URL and then come to this thread under post reply at the toolbar there is a button IMG click it and paste the URL submit reply and your pic will be up

Actually this inter continental bomber was just a fantasy prototype created in the same nazi lab (located in a remote village in Austria) that worked on other fantasy weapons like the wind- and sound cannon.

I for one do not want to see these things in this fine and realistic game. Because then what´s next...should Paradox depict Himmler´s search for the holy graal..? And should the U. S. then have Indiana Jones as a leader?

And should there be nazi soliders with rocket driven wests? (like in the rocketeer)?

I also was watching the show The Stealth bomber looking plane was built, and is obviously a relative of the b-2, but i dont think it is really necessary to have them as the jet planes that are available in the game are just as nice. The intercontinental wouldnt have really worked, well wouldnt have worked piloted that is, unless they had many pilots prepared to make martyrs of themselves.......

VERY TRUE, WHILE THE GERMANS HAD SOME BRILLIANT IDEAS AND EVEN TINKERED WITH A GROUND BOUND PROTOTYPE, IT WAS PROBABLY SO UNSTABLE TO FLY, IT WOULD HAVE KILLED MORE PILOTS THAN ITS BOMBS KILLED ENEMIES.

REMEMBER THAT IN ENGINEERING TERMS, EVEN CURRENT STEALTH AIRCRAFT FLY LIKE BRICKS. AND THATS WITH ALL THE MODERN COMPOSITE MATERIAL AND COMPUTER AIDED CONSTRUCTION.

Afaik the fighter version was the Go229, based on an idea by Walter and Reimar Horten, who experimented with tailless gliders since 1931.
Constructions of a flying wing prototype began in 1943. The plane was made of wood (because of weight and metal shortage) and the designers believed the wooden wing would be more resistent to cannon hits. The plane already had a very small profile and was covered in radar absorbing paint.
The prototype flew in February 1945, but crashed on its second flight after only two hours of tests. Despite this the test pilot claimed it had excellent flying characteristics and production of more aircraft started.
The factory was captured by US forces in April and several planes nearing completion were secured, including 2 seat all weather fighters, trainers and single-seat fighter-bombers.
A six engine jet bomber with a range of 4.000 miles was also planned, as well as a super sonic passenger version.
[Information mostly taken from documentation of the Lucasfilm game Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe]
Note that the Go229 is already implemented in the game (semi-modern long-range jet fighter)!

i have no idea what im doing lol and what is a url?? i mrealy gessing lol

The germans did actually build a plane that could fly to New York. I don't remember the name, but I saw a program on Discovery. In '44 or '45 it flew across the atlantic and to New York. A few miles outside the coast, it turned and flew back (didn't want to be shot down..they had plenty of fuel). It was only a test-run, to see if it could fly this far. If the war had progressed and Allies had not secured all of those factories and fields, the germans only had to load that plane with bombs, and....

Have you uploaded the pics? If so then view them and right-click. Select properties and you'll see the url. Post it. For example, the url for the HoI symbol in the top left of this screen is:

http://www.europa-universalis.com/forum/images/hoi/hoi_logo.jpg

To post that as an image I can view I use img tags either side of the url, so it would be...

*img* http://www.europa-universalis.com/forum/images/hoi/hoi_logo.jpg[/url] */img*

...where the *s are square brackets. Thus I get:

The N.G. B-2 bommer can only fly because of computer aids. The computer is constantly making adjustments to the flight characteristic to keep it in the air.

It is true that the Germans experimented with a swept wing, tailess plane that did look a lot like the modern B-2.

Does that mean thats its a b2?

Uhm, No. The B-2 cost almost as much a navy DDG.....

I think you will find that these TV documentaries feel the need to be entertaining more than accurate.

The show on history channel said that one of the plane's engines burned out, the plane spun out of control, and the test pilot crashed and died. Doesn't sound too successful to me. Plus, the other "bombers" that the Germans were planning would have never worked because they were basically kamikazi bombs, and they had to re-enter the earths atmosphere from space. I think that the game is fine without this crap.

Cheers for the pics Overlord. I think I've actually seen them before, but they're still neat.
