Not the other guy but the only part I disliked was how Tom Hardy managed to glide back for another pass and shoot the Stuka so easily. All the previous times he downed another plane he was behind them and took a few bursts to get on target and shoot them down. But that last one was in a full dive and he shot it down in seconds from an almost perpendicular flight path.

>>87816520
retard

people in combat situations don't act all hysterical like in movies

the captain of the B17 would not be jittery nervously screaming dramatically at his co-pilot in that situation

officers of airplanes in the military are selected for their level headedness, when shit is happening like that you don't have time to process any emotions and its surprisingly much more mundane than what happens in hollywood movies for effect

that bomber when it suplexes that other B17 looks so retarded, when some shit like that happened, both those planes would be hundreds of feet from their position in a second, not rubbing each other for a good while that guy takes camera footage of them

as if they would let some guy fuck around with a camera in the waste gunner position during a run anyways, the two waste gunners had precious little space to work with, letting some guy in there to putz around with a camera is retarded

and then they get hit with flak that goes PING PING PING! and makes sparks, if you knew anything about planes, their made of thin aluminum, there would be no sparks, it would be so loud in the aircraft you wouldn't hear the shrapnel tearing through it

aiming with an aircraft is difficult because of its unpredictability. Lining up shots is hard. But when you fly into a shot sometimes its very easy
>>
>>87816570
the bomb was designed to be dropped that low

it was used to blow up a dam, there were big nets the germans put in front of the dam to prohibit use of torpedoes on the dam so the bongs made a bomb they could skip across the water until it hit the dam, then sunk down to the bottom before going off

pretty retarded but it worked, they could have really just used some of their giant 12,000 lbs bombs on it

Not really much you can do with practical effects in an AIR COMBAT DRAMA

dunkirk did it best. Real cockpits surrounded by greenscreen

>>87817157
Midway through the air war, the US Air Force strategists found the greatest value heavy bombers served was their ability to attract every Luftwaffe fighter ub sorrounding region and then the US fighter pilots could pick them off. It decimated the Luftwaffe and gave the Allies air superiority during the later ground war on the Western Front but it came at a high casualty rate for the bomber crews, among the highest in the war.
>>
>>87817285
No nigger, you're wrong. I have been following this project from the start. That is not a fucking trailer for the HBO series.

>The footage was put together by Hydraulx, the special effects company formed by Greg & Colin Strause (SKYLINE, TAKE SHELTER). The film has yet to be shot with the script out to cast and making its debut at AFM, so this is a unique peek at not only the proposed film, but how it's being sold in the early stages. It's a very cool teaser, regardless, and one that shows a mountain of potential for the project.

Plot: Five miles above the earth and deep behind enemy lines, eleven men inside a bomber known as the "Flying Fortress" fight for their lives against swarms of enemy German fighters. As American bombers are picked off one by one, their mission becomes very clear: survive.

Does that fucking sound like Spielber/HBO to you?

I'm not sure it's even from the Tom Hanks/Spielberg project:

"THE MIGHTY EIGHTH was written by Kurt Johnstad (300, 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE, ACT OF VALOR) and is produced by David Hoberman (THE FIGHTER, THE PROPOSAL), Todd Lieberman (THE FIGHTER, THE PROPOSAL) and Greg & Colin Strause, with director Rick Jacobson (BITCH SLAP, Starz Spartacus: War of the Damned) taking the helm."

It looks like some other project. I doubt the TV series will be anything like that shit.
