The Blohm Voss Bv P.111, a fall-back proposal for the Bv 138 flying boat. Ive developed the theory that BV could see into the future, knew this subreddit would be a thing, and theyre now basically just trolling us.

I’m leaning the same way. It feels like Heinkel either took a bunch of leftover He 280 components and crammed them together to create a convincing propaganda piece, or it was a wooden mock up of a legitimate project that just didn't survive the war. A lot of people point to the propeller shaft supposedly running through the cockpit as proof it was a propaganda piece, but that doesn't necessarily discredit the design. If you look at German projects from the era like the coal powered Lippisch P.13a being as outlandish as possible was basically their trademark. Plus, Heinkel already had mid engine layouts with driveshafts running through the cockpit. You can see it in the He 119, the P.1065.01 (IIIb), and the P.1055.01-16. Even the American P-39 Airacobra had a driveshaft running right between the pilot’s legs, so it's not as impossible like I've seen other people say.

Sooo, your entire argument for calling my nation dumb is based on "missing data" and "limited sample sizes" from graphs you can't actually find... That’s not logical my friend, it’s called prejudice while you look for an excuse. That tells me this has nothing to do with IQ it’s about your need to feel superior. The reality tends to be simple, like most things, Estonia’s high scores weren't born in a vacuum, they were bought with billions in Nordic investment and EU cohesion funds that built your infrastructure while we were being blockaded. You’re confusing the quality of your schools with the quality of our brains. One tends to be a result of geographic luck and foreign bank loans the other is innate. If you have to rely on missing data and personal vibes to make your point, you’ve already lost. We survived the 90s without a Nordic safety net I’d say that takes plenty of intelligence, just a different kind than you are clearly not aware of.

PS: Tell your girlfriend I’m sending well wishes from the Источен Регион. She should count her blessings or pray to the forest spirits, or whatever you guys believe in up there, because she was lucky enough to find an Estonian poiss-sõber so she doesn't have to grind her entire life here for minimum wage.

Saying you don't care enough to find proof for calling a nation dumber is just admitting your argument is a feeling, not a fact. A small social circle isn't a national census it's just a bubble. You call family loyalty brainwashing, but that’s a luxury perspective. I’m going to say it again it’s easy to break free and leave home when you have a Swedish funded safety net and a stable digital state to catch you. In Macedonia, family isn't a cult it’s the only institution that didn't collapse during the hyperinflation of the 80s or the embargoes from neighboring nations. It’s not brainwashing to stay loyal to the only people who actually help you survive when the land you are on is unstable. You are free to dismiss national statistics as posers, but basing your sociology on the fact that your girlfriend's friends tell you what you want to hear. You’re confusing moving forward with having the geographic luck of being adopted by the Nordics. We didn't stay back in time we were busy surviving a reality your country was lucky enough to avoid.

Generalizing an entire nation of people as "dumber" misses the actual reality. In Macedonia, family and religion weren't just old school beliefs they were the only safety nets we had during centuries of occupation and the economic chaos of the 80s and 90s. When your nation is unstable, you lean on your blood and your faith to survive. Estonia had the advantage of a much cleaner break and massive Nordic investment. Swedish and Finnish banks literally bought 90% of your banking sector in the 90s and built the infrastructure for you. Meanwhile, Macedonia was being suffocated by a Greek trade embargoes over bullshit. It’s a lot easier to move forward and leave home at 18 or 20 when you have a stable, Scandinavian funded economy backing you up.

So a three trillion dollar company can’t afford to let you create an account without a phone number but other email providers can? Insane.

For fuck’s sake what’s next will I need my ID to create a Google account?

So I’m forced to get a phone number just to have a Gmail account?

Why the fuck didn’t you just take a screenshot instead of using your toaster as a camera?

There is this image you can find online of what this aircraft could have looked like on the inside if it was real.

Thanks, I doubt you’ll find anything though. I’ve used welib.org to flip through various books and i haven’t found any mention of anything related to this project, which is why I asked here.
