Ponytard, what is your in-game name?   The gunnery definitely favors slower planes as you must be closer and often have a longer gun solution to score a kill.  This is really playing havoc w/ me as I made a nice career out of high speed slashing style snapshots and short gun solutions on roped turnfighters. So in this factor I agree that AHII negatively impacts pony pilots and aids turnfighters.

I'm not trying to gang up on you Pony but I have made no mention of the pony's flight modeling in the form  of a complaint.
I'm still  formulating an opinion to be honest.  The other day I fought a very competent La7 pilot(he came in high) to a stalemate and was able to keep him from out turning me( he ended up augering after an extended turn fight).  I'm still deciding about its' very slow speed handling.

In answer to your question... None... And I would be safe in betting you dont either... My Little British Super Hero  If you even did, again, I would be safe if betting its next to nil.
1000+ hours as PIC actually, in a period spanning 16 years conducted in the airspace of eight different countries (including 5 US states) and several island dependencies, exercised under British Gliding Association,  UK/CAA and US/FAA licence and ratings privileges.

How's that to be going on with? :lol

Now get back to learning how to game the game in AH2!

All the RL pilots I've seen here (and I am one of them) think the flight model is a big step forward.


have you flown a P38?  i mean, if you have flown an aircraft, im sure they all handle the same, right?  :confused:   anyways...

folks could do impossible stuff, and make impossible shots.

did you ever play AW?  there you could do some "impossible" stuff, of course thats why i thought it was fun.  AH1 was alot more "realistic" than aw, and AH2 even more than AH1.

No need to learn. Its the same game we had 3 months ago. The only differnce is people think it isn't. They see different trees, different plane skins ect and think.... OMG I can't play this!!! And when they attempt to get into a Fighter they climb to 20k to try and compensate for their lack of skills.

The gunnery and flight models are different, as they should be. Otherwise, I agree - in which case I refer you back to ponydweeb quitters - and they know who they are! :aok

It's getting late - no AH for me tonight. My time was taken up watching Portugal v Holland, and listening to Saint Saens' organ symphony.

Nice troll, 24 responses if you include this one :p

As for the original post, the Pony is still a great ride, set your guns to 250 yards, stick your prop in the bogeys tail, and then open fire.

Oh Wow, did I take the bait 2? :rofl :rofl

I agree the handling characteristics have changed a bit, but they are closer to real life flying.  I'm not sure about the actual plane characteristics, but the inertia definitely seems to be modeled better.  These were big heavy planes and when you lost the edge they bit you in the prettythang.  That's just the way it is.  If your looking for easy mode go fly Crimson Skies or something.

Although I love the whines, I knew they would be many.  People just hate change.  "I'm not as great as I was, Whaaaaaaaa" lol.  Guess what, if you were you would adjust and keep kicking prettythang:D
