I was going ot chime in but Wheat Thin covered most my points =p
The original thread pic looks almost like a Northrop B-35, one of our earleir flying wing concepts, but the thing in that pic has jet engines...and not where a B-2's are placed either, so I have no idea WHAT that is supposed to be.

btw leonardo di vinci made sketches of helicopters. he must be the father of aeronautics!!!
That's a Gotha 229. I'm sure that's what's in BF1942.

The plane in the game never saw combat. As far as I know it never even saw air. They just made it camo 'cause it looks cool in the game. And it's not dumb, because it's used quite often in low-flying tactical planes, and if it was ineffective, I'm sure they wouldn't do it.Synent said:

that's all well and good. but my point is...do you REALLY THINK that a B-2 needs to be concerned with something that is able to destroy it making visual contact from above?
yeah, I'd think it would be easily killable by the guns on a Mig-29 if it was spotted visually while in the air. A black shape moving isn't that hard to spot during the day, however currently the b-2 flys a lot at night.
the stealth bomber is painted black for two reasons:
1. RAM or Radar Absorbent Material is black
2. It flies primarily at night
now, I am not sure if they just made the RAM black because it suited the mission profile of stealth aircraft best, or if it's some physical property that it has, but whatever. And flying wings have been around since ww2, yes. They proved impractical at first due to their inherent instability. Modern computerized flight controls allow inherently unstable designs to become safe. Certain designs allow for incredible performance (agility, efficiency, etc. - the flying wing is one such design), but those designs were not previously controllable by humans without computer assistance.

The origional color of the Have Blue (F117 prototype) was a shade of dark blue, which is actually more ideal to blend in at night than pure black. They concluded that black however works better vs rader and more importantly, no one wanted to fly a damn near PURPLE TRIANGLE.
And although this has been pointed out, the B2's ancestors lie in earlier Northrop flying wing designs, which failed for... sketchy...reasons. (Possible sabotage and the like). If those aircraft were derived from earlier luftwaffe designs is questionable, and well, if you want to trace things back that many steps then you could trace ANYTHING TO ANYONE.

yes.
And if you chop off the wings on the 229 it looks kinda like the thing Obi Wan flew in AOTC.

this is quote a cool tidbit of information..
the flight control computer on the b-2.. makes adjustments every .2 seconds... to make up for the instability of the aircraft design(like you mentioned)

^^ I heard closer to a dark pastel pink/pruple, but yah who the fuck would wanna fly that.

Hello, first off, welcome to combat ww2 style! They didnt have "radar" on every single plane back then bud-ee so all IFF of that era was done VISUALLY.
So the less you can see the plane, the better! Ever notice that most ww2 American naval planes were Blue (the color of that big thing we call the "ocean"), but they were White on the bottom (btw clouds are white, if you didnt realize) That is what is called "camo". Amazing concept.
Also yes, planes of that era were loud, however, if your plane is equally as loud as a plane 500m off, odds are you WONT FUCKING HEAR IT OVER YOUR PLANE YOU SACK OF FUCKING RETARDED DOGSHIT
jesus I tried so hard throughout my post to not use caps, but have a fucking clue.
im going to post in the 'mox' thread at least it is entertaining.
:mofo:

You're right, they did the black for night flying. The F-22 has grey RAM paint. Grey blends in during the day better with the sky.
From what I read, the choice of black paint for the F-117A / B-2 (B-2 is dark grey I think) was "Real pilots don't fly in pastel planes".
