Twinkie 13

Thanks to all. See you in game.

Well my favorite ww2 plane is the P-38 Lightning. I think it looks great. it didn't see much action in the European Theater but it did great in the Pacific against the Zero. Japanese pilots learned to never take a P-38 head on because of the 4- 50. cal and 1-20 mil in the nose.

Well the German ME 262 was the first jet powered plane to fight in WW2. Its top speed of 560 mph and ceiling of over 37,000 feet made it hard for most prop planes to target the jets in a high speed fight. The Spitfire had a top speed of 380 and 35,000 feet. This made it easy for a jet to drop in from above and take out a spitfire in formation and climb back above the Spitfire's top fight area. That being said the Spitfire had a greater turning radius especially in low speed flight against the Me 262. The ME 262's engines had low thrust at low speeds and a wider turn radius. If you look at the timeline of the war Germany had lost most of their experienced pilots by the time the Me 262 was ready for deployment. Factoring that in with pilots using traditional propeller based dogfighting skills while flying jets might have actually negated the advantages of such a fast plane. Also Britain built the Gloster Meteor jet and it was put into service in July of 44. The main aircraft that the Spitfire faced in combat were the Bf-109, Bf-110, Heinkel He-110 bomber, Junkers Ju-87, Ju-88 bombers and the Focke-Wulf Fw 190. So I guess I'm saying that the Me 262 was a better aircraft than the Spitfire in some areas but not as good in others. In lots of fighters of that day it all came down to the skill of the pilots.

so sad he will be missed

autotune it

Hack the Planet! Just remember Zero Cool loves you.

one post to rule them all

Well i'm not a Britt I'm from Alabama but i have to say that I love watching BBC America and especially Top Gear UK. The American version is crap in my opinion. Anyway been watching the boats go down the Thames all morning and everybody looks to be having such a great time regardless of the rainy weather. Wish I could be there in person to experience a one in a lifetime event.

Rule number one: Cardio

Hey Twinkie here again. I had my 5th operation on my left knee the 23rd and the new doctor found that my acl had rotted inside my knee. The doctor had to cut out a large chunk of my femur and send the discolored fluid off to a lab for analysis. Seems like ill never get back on my feet at this rate. So depressed about all of this crap. Well I'm sure no one wants to hear about my problems on here anyway. Thanks for putting up with me. Twink

I have a xfx 6950 2gb for less than 180.00 us from tigerdirect. I run everything maxed out. If you are looking for sli or crossfire setup maybe go with a pair of gtx 460. check this site http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+460

Thanks guys. Ill keep you posted on what happens.

Hey Sgt Twinkie here. May 15th I will undergo yet another operation on my left knee to try and get me able to walk right. On 4-11-11 I blew my knee out at work. Since then I haven't been able to work or walk. I've had 3 operations on my knee so far and I was getting better until I started having more pain and instability again. After having my 3rd MRI my new doctor tells me that my repaired ACL repair has failed again. So my new doctor tells me that I will have to have 1 operation (may 15) to remove screws and pins and to perform a bone graft then wait another few months and have another ACL replacement. This being a workers comp claim everything is going extremely slow. Guess they need time to run the numbers on paying to fix me or to try and pay me off. Well anyway I just wanted to vent on here so here goes. WTF!!!! How many F#@kin times do I need to get operated on to fix my knee so I can get my job back.? I know there are many more people out there with way worse problems than me. I'm just sick of it all. Operation....pain pills... rehab...pain pills....more operations....pain pills....more rehab...pain pills....whats next liver and kidney failure. One doctor told me that the failure rate for an ACL replacement was less than 8 percent. Well I had back to back failures. So does that make me a failure????? Or just and Idiot for going back to the same doctor. Well enough of my rant. Sick and tired of being sick and tired. Hope to be back on at least 1 foot soon. Twinkie

Ive played it before. Its ok i guess. If you go the completely free rout you find yourself severely outgunned in most matches. Tanks are fairly accurate to the period. Some of the tanks are actually ones that were never created just paper spec tanks that the dev team created. Some were tank prototypes and other 1 ofs. Give it a try...for free its hard not to. If you don't like tanks they are making a free game called world of warplanes and world of battleships.

Hey got my computer running good now. Bought a cooler master hyper 212 evo cpu cooler. Temps run around 13C idle up to 38 - 40C full load with prim95

typical thug behavior. bad parenting, environment there is no excuse for that. She should be tried as an adult for assault with intent to harm and get the maximum penality

I was looking at the new fx-6200 or maybe the fx-4170 at 4.2ghz

Hello Sgt Twinkie here. I'm in the process of building a new computer and would like to pick your brains over some advice, info, hint, etc. I will be bringing the following parts from my old pc over to the new one. two 1 tb segate 7200 rpm dard drives. soundblaster xi fatality misc cd\dvd burner XFX 6050 video card with 2gig ram That being said I have a budget of around $650.00 us. Now I know that the current intel procs beat that new AMD procs hands down but that doesn't bother me. I have ordered 16 gig of kingston hyper x ram at 1600. Will be using windows 7 premium. Any info on what proc and mobo that you could suggest will be greatly appreciated.
