Identify that Tank/Ship/Plane/Artillery etc

[Sar1n]

Come on...that's just lazy, giving entry from same company as previous one.

SNCASE SE.200 Amphitrite.

[paleologos]

Yeah, but only you could find this, the others wouldn't bother to do the research, or wouldn't know the terminology to type in the right clues.

[Sar1n]

A bit blurry this time, but recognizable.

[paleologos]

A first guess is Messerschmitt_Me 264.

[Sar1n]

Nope.

[paleologos]

Heinkel He 277 then.

[Sar1n]

Heinkel He 277 then.

That one wasn't even completed. Nope.

[paleologos]

Sorry, I meant Heinkel He 274

[Sar1n]

Sorry, I meant Heinkel He 274

Well, don't expect rep from me for such blunder

Anyway, yeah, it's He 274. One of three separate projects to replace He 177 with its troublesome engines. The two eventually completed planes were used by French after war for a time.

[paleologos]

Well, don't expect rep from me...

As if you would be able to if you wanted.
Looks like someone other than King Athelstan is going to have to do you another solid.

...for such blunder

Come on, it was an honest mistake: When I cued quad engined, twin tail nazi bomber, google produced photos of mixed titles.
But I was right that it was a nazi bomber from just a look at it.

Anyway, yeah, it's He 274. One of three separate projects to replace He 177 with its troublesome engines. The two eventually completed planes were used by French after war for a time.

Actually the Nazis did not finish construction of them, the French did, after the war and used them for high altitude research.



I'll wait a bit for this thread to cool down and for that solid...

[paleologos]

So who will redeem Sar1n?

[paleologos]

Akar has done the good deed and put me to shame.

Next one:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

[Akar]

If there ever is an opportunity to put you to shame I shall seize it.

[Sar1n]

If you could at least make it interesting after the wait...

Bell YFM-1 Airacuda. Intended to be a bomber destroyer with two flexible 37mm cannons in nacelles, it turned out to be too slow and problematic for the role.

[paleologos]

Correct.
How exotic does something need to be?
Perhaps next time I should try ships from the age of sail that all look the same.

[Akar]

it is nice when there's a chance for those of us without an encylopedic knowledge of black and white photos of old planes to guess something

You're getting your chance now

No fishing please...

[Akar]

Hint?

[paleologos]

Petlyakov Pe-2

[Sar1n]

Nope.
