hey i kno its obscure but could you make a version of the plane with my grandfathers nose art he was also in the 379th and it would be cool to see his plane in the game which he crash landed in france with https://b17flyingfortress.de/en/b17/43-37777-four-of-a-kind/

NO BULLETS FLY
Finnish 23 Feb, 2024 @ 2:30pm 
@Corgi626 @Snipey From down below an enemy spotted
So hurry up, rearm and refuel
But through the bomber’s damaged airframe
See wounded men, scared to their bone

Look to the right and then look again
And see the enemy in the eye
No bullets fly, spared by his mercy
Escorted out, out of harm’s way

Fly, fighting fair, it’s the code of the air
Brothers, heroes, foes

Killing machine
Honour in the skies
B17
Flying home
Killing machine
Said goodbye to the cross he deserved

He risked his life two times that day
To save an unknown enemy
Escort to safety, out of the killzone
A short salute, then departed

bumblebeeman2011 2 Jun, 2023 @ 9:16am 
And with the, like, first meeting, with CHarlie Brown, and Franz Stigler, CHarlie if I'm correct said something like this!:.
It wasn't only the audactity, that, he came up to us, and recognizing the little threat. If someone, had seen Him, and reported Him, it could've been a death sentence!
bumblebeeman2011 2 Jun, 2023 @ 9:13am 
So, creators, I hope, you guys, like the feedback, compliments, and all of that, I made, for this,
B-17!!!!!!!!!
bumblebeeman2011 2 Jun, 2023 @ 9:12am 
And, yes everyone, if I, remember correctly, I wrote this all by myself, without, copy, and, paste, but, only with/but, only the exception, for sending the links, for, the, videos I sent, for all of this to!
bumblebeeman2011 2 Jun, 2023 @ 9:08am 
4. Some people, including me, like pressing everything, inside a vehicle, but what's made me have to see/figure out about the B-17, is that, you can't do cross-feed with the engines, or whatever, without it like breaking the B-17, meaning, the engines, and stuff. Also, infinite fuel has to be off, for the plane to be able to fly, which that, with infinite fuel off, the plane, can't stay in the air, forever. And also, I learned that you can't put the throttle, on the aircraft up to full, then, collective, or clutch, or whatever, it is, because doing that, explodes, the bombs, on the B-17, and I think its the dramactic/drastic, change, in speed, or pressure, like any pressure, that is with the aircraft, or both, combined, or many other reasons.
bumblebeeman2011 2 Jun, 2023 @ 9:02am 
fire, and put it out, what ebout the thing, stormworks, has that, if you dont have equal/almost equal/very equal engine power on both sides, of the aircraft, the plane will start turning in directions, "Beyond control/barely controllable, and so on." Also even though if you are able to overwhelm the fire, and put it out, you will have to disable, anther engine, or lower, it's power with the other, side, and in some circumstances/a lot of circumstances, even though if you do that, than, sometimes the plane, can't keep itself in the air, already, because of the, weight I think, but also, the very low, engine power, that the, remaining, engines still, are producing.
bumblebeeman2011 2 Jun, 2023 @ 8:55am 
Also, sorry again, because I want to add, something else to number 2.
It is:.
So, I found out, a bit earlier today, I don't think that long ago, that like a lot, of other aircraft, in stormworks, a fire could start at the back, and if, everyone's not past the bottom ball turret, and a fire starts, at the back, like happened to me, earlier today, like I said, to, I think, fires can start at the back of the B-17:. So here's an example:. No, one, in the B-17, is past the bottom ball turret, and theirs a fire at the, back of the B-17, and no one can get back their, it's a huge mess! And, part of that goes, for, number 1, as well, for the engines, because even though i can turn those engine/engines off, the fire will keep spreading, shutting down the other engines. Also, even though if the person/people/player/players can overwhelm the
bumblebeeman2011 2 Jun, 2023 @ 8:48am 
3. The map on the aircraft, whether, where you takeoff, or whatever, the map on the aircraft, just shows 1 island, so you will have to find, where you are on it by moving the map, around the area, and if a person has like realistic things on, where you can't see nametag's, players, and vehicles, don't show up on the map, it's very difficult/near impossible to, do, and very frusterating, so I ask, wherever, the plane has been spawned, the map shows that to, and follows where the player, is flying/heading to with, like a shape of some sort, or a vehicle, or like a plane, on the map, showing, you where you are.
bumblebeeman2011 2 Jun, 2023 @ 8:44am 
I noticed like no seats for the player/person to exit through, to get back to the cockpit, so I think it's the Radio Operator seat, that I'm trying to enter to, and like I couldn't get in it, and yet again, like, before, this was on the ground to. Also, this can be deadly/frusterating, to, if that person/player is the only 1 on the B-17, or if someone else, is with them, and your airborn, than, it's really hard to, do it, to. Also, sorry I want to add something to the 1st thing i want fixed:. I don't want to add the engine fire exuishering to the engines because, I saw that the engines, are modular, and I don't know how to do modular, to.
bumblebeeman2011 2 Jun, 2023 @ 8:39am 
2. The bottom ball turret, is also well made, but, it's hard to get around it. I found the seats for it, to get out of the bottom ball turret and into the other area, that the player/person, is wanting to go to. I found the 1 to continue to the tail-gunner, but even on the ground, it is incredably difficult, to get around it, by going in the bottom ball turret, and entering the seat on the other side to get to it. Also, this was even on the ground, so I think you guys can imagine, how much harder it would be to do this in the air. Also, when entering the bottom ball turret and going to the other side, or wanting to go back to the cockpit, and after reentering the bottom ball turret, or staying in it,
bumblebeeman2011 2 Jun, 2023 @ 8:33am 
Okay, now for the last things ima say:.
So this B-17 is fantastic! I love it so much. It really actually means something to me, even though this plane has multiple 1's of it on the workshop, this 1, just is the best. It's incredably detailed, and I feel like it represents the true Ye Olde Pub.
Even though it's fantastic, their is some flaws with it, that I would like fixed.
1. I was pretty sure in WWII, that they had it, and i looked it up, like maybe 5-10 mins ago, to see if they had Fire Exuishers built onto aircraft in WWWII, but I wanted to make sure, so I did, and it said that they did have Fire Exuishers in WWII. I really want that added to all the engines please, and we can turn it on from the cockpit and stuff, because it basically said to, that, pilots, would turn it on, from the cockpit.

Also heres the full lyrics of the song. "Sabaton - No Bullets Fly.":
From down below, an enemy spotted, so hurry up rearm and refuel, but through the bombers damaged airframe, see wounded men, scared to their bone. Look to the right, and then look again, and see the enemy in the eye. No Bullets Fly, spared by His mercy. Escorted out, out of harms way.

Here are the links to the Yarnhub video, the original Sabaton - No Bullets Fly video, a very good animation of the thing that happened, and even though it has some of it in Yarnhub's Vid, here is like I think the full video of Franz Stigler the german pilot who escorted the B-17 and the B-17 pilot Charlie Brown, years after the war, in the 2000's i think.

Half the rudder was shot off from the B-17, and the oxygen supply was taken out, along with a huge hole in the right side of the plane where the waste gunners were. Later on, the Pub was escorted by a German fighter over the flak batteries to safety and the crew made it out alive, all of them, all accept for the tailgunner.
bumblebeeman2011 2 Jun, 2023 @ 8:02am 
In that instance a B-17, of a Ye Olde Pub bomber had flak pooring all around it and the captain was wounded in his shouler and at the front area of the bombardier area it was exploded leaving a huge hole in it making freezing conditions for the crew. And, also, engine 1 had been hit, and their was a huge hole in the right side of the B-17 in the wing. The tail-gunner was dead, and 1 of the crew members was losing blood.
bumblebeeman2011 2 Jun, 2023 @ 7:59am 
And 4 days before Christmas on December 20, 1943, about 500 B-17's had their bombing run at tThe- Focke-Wulf Plant near Breman.
bumblebeeman2011 2 Jun, 2023 @ 7:58am 
Their was though 1 thing in particular though that i loved the most:. The American B-17 Ye Olde Pub.
bumblebeeman2011 2 Jun, 2023 @ 7:57am 
I grew more, and more into more Aviation History consisting of war plane aircraft to. What has inspired me so much is the American B-17 and B-29, but the B-17 more. Iv'e always loved the band Sabaton, which already Ace seems to know about it, and Sabaton making so much music on war heros, and more. Iv'e also loved the channel Yarnhub which i learned about the war stuff a lot.
bumblebeeman2011 2 Jun, 2023 @ 7:53am 
Ye! I know that song! I can write the whole thing out! Also to be honest, this plane is really good. I used to really love anther B-17, but I kind of dislike it a bit, but this plane is very, very well made. Aviation History has like inspired me for so long, since I think my mother showed me my first Mayday episode. I love aircraft so much and my dream job is to be a pilot, and to fly the Antonov 225 Mirya, which sadly was bombed in Ukraine by Russia. They are making a new 1 but it was supposed to be the second.
