    I don't know who to give it to! Fliegerfaust is its offical name, but ti was known as the luftfaust as well.

    Actaully according to your description KK's technically right:
    "The Luftfaust ("air fist") was an anti-aircraft, recoilless shoulder-fired weapon not really related to the Panzerfaust. There were two versions: the original Luftfaust-A featured four barrels of 2cm-caliber, firing 2cm-projectiles that weighed 90g and contained 19g of explosive, the projectiles were fitted to a little rocket stage. When fired in a salvo, the projectiles reached a velocity of 380 m/s.
    The Luftfaust-B addressed the problem of the inaccurate and unsatisfactory hit groups achieved by the Luftfaust-A by kengthening the barrels and increasing the number of barrels to nine. The weapon now had a length of 150cm and weighed 6.5 kg. The nine projectiles were shot in one salvo with 0.2 sec. between the individual barrels. Although large orders for the weapon were placed in 1945, actually only 80 of these weapons were used in combat trials.

    The Fliegerfaust ("airplane fist") had the same basic design of the Luftfaust but featured six barrels with a diameter of 3cm. It was to use the 3cm - projectiles of the Maschinenkanone MK108 machine-cannon used in fighter aircraft such as the Me262 jet. These bullets weighed 330g and contained 75g of explosives. The weapon did not advance beyond the trial stage."
    but I will post the next pic:

    Mustang Fortress?

    attention: cheating information
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    It's a XB-38 Flying Fortress, an Allison-engined B-17 converted from a regular B-17. Only one prototype was built. The idea was to have a B-17 with liquid-cooled engines in case the Wright engines became scarce.


    P.S. I wonder what were they thinking... Equipping a long-range high altitude bomber that was going to operate amid FlaK with liquid-cooled engines.

    Well, this is embarrasing.

    Hehe. My bad.

    Thats a B-17. No idea what variant, its engines to appear to be different. Looks like theres Merlins fitted but I'm probably realllllly wrong.

    It's a XB-38 Flying Fortress. It's a B-17 with liquid-cooled Alllison V-1710-89 inline engines. Only one prototype was built. It crashed on the 16th of june 1943 after one of its engines caught fire.

    QUIZ no2 .
    "I was a destroyer with the allies.

    Stukas attacked me and destroyed my fore.


    I survived and made a journey back to my naval base (Alexandreia) .

    TGC in order to continue its development seak one or more desicated scripters to put our campaign scripts mess to an order plus to create new events and create the finall missing factions recruitment system. In return TGC will give permision to those that will help to use its material stepe by step. The result will be a fully released TGC plus many mods that will benefit TGC's material.
    Despite the mod is dead does not mean that anyone can use its material
    read this to avoid misunderstandings.

    IWTE tool master and world txt one like this, needed inorder to release TGC 1.0 official to help TWC to survive.
    Adding MARKA HORSES in your mod and create new varietions of them. Tutorial RESTORED.

    It's *NOT* your turn. Read the rules before posting or don't post at all:

    Please listen as here are the rules and I'd rather not have this shut down:

    • One person posts a picture with any details the poster feels are necessary.
    • Everyone else tries to guess the picture posted, whilst providing some details about their guess.
    • The person who guessed correctly gets reputation from the original poster of the picture and then posts their own picture.
    • The process repeats itself

    Has everyone got that?
