Alpha77 -> "The plane was a disaster ....." (7/5/2016 8:07:46 PM)
Mr. Yohei HInoki Japanese Ace Pilot (English Sub) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-eBmnpCO18 Edit, another story this time by Zero pilot: IJN Ace Interview: Harada Kaname https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pmwj-03Txvs

The pilot in the first one called the P-51's 50 cals "cannon". Or was that a bad translation? Oh, thanks for those links Alpha77

Jorge_Stanbury -> RE: "The plane was a disaster ....." (7/6/2016 1:16:39 AM)
He also assumed 50cal as cannons when he describes Oscar's upgraded version And the "critique" is interesting because from what I have read, it was Japanese army pilot's obsession with maneuverability at all costs what pushed designers to build something like Oscar, while a faster, better armed "Tojo" was available, but got relegated as we all PDU-OFF players know

Canada does everything the way we Yanks do, they just add "eh?" to the end of everything. They even drive on the correct side of the road. I am of course not referring to the Quebecois. Even the French do not know what language they speak.

moonraker65 -> RE: "The plane was a disaster ....." (7/6/2016 9:51:42 AM)
It's known as the Queen's English. The proper spelling

geofflambert -> RE: "The plane was a disaster ....." (7/6/2016 10:00:21 AM)
Oh, yes, I forgot. You're led by a rather short female (who doesn't know how to spell stuff 'properly').

moonraker65 -> RE: "The plane was a disaster ....." (7/6/2016 10:02:45 AM)
Haha [;)]. Well it's what we're used to

geofflambert -> RE: "The plane was a disaster ....." (7/6/2016 10:06:27 AM)
At least I don't spell my name "Jeff" and I've had to spend decades living amongst troglodytes who don't know how to pronounce "George" or is it "Goff" or is it "Goof" or "Gee-off" or ...

Armour. Colour. Grey. Accoutrements (you realize there are H. Sapiens on this planet who say "Accouterments"?). Metre. Theatre. Aeon. You know, being Latin, it is pronounced with a long I (ae that is) and not eeeyon. It's been eeeyons since I heard that pronounced correctly. Labour. Let's not have an unnecessary clamour about this post. When the Americans heard "wound my heart with a monotonous languor" they thought it referred to a monkey. [:D]

I've been looking at a list of British vis a vis American spellings. I can report to you that the American version of "minibuses", (minibusses) refers to kisses that do not involve any use of the tongue.

HansBolter -> RE: "The plane was a disaster ....." (7/6/2016 11:35:55 AM)
Don't forget 'storey'. Wasn't hard to tell from the cover that Multi-Storey Buildings in Steel was a book about British architecture.

You can not assume taht say 60 % were obsessed with manouverability that ALL of them were, right ? Or have you spoken to every IJA pilot in WW2 ? [:D] Also it sounds like plane had more problems, therefore I suggest upping the SR from 1 to 2 for the early Oscar modells.[:'(]

Jorge_Stanbury -> RE: "The plane was a disaster ....." (7/6/2016 5:35:48 PM)
Of course not all pilots will necessarily agree, but there was enough "critical mass" to guaranteed designs that prioritized maneuverability and range vs. other considerations. Maybe a consequence of fighting too long against Polikarpovs, which were also high on maneuverability

If so why didn't Kirk understand what your predecessor was saying?

"I shall be merciful and swift". What's so hard to understand? I think the actual script was "I will be merciful and quick". I have simply improved it since.
