Half the fun it used to be

[killnu]

beet, ya missed my point, but thats fine.  a 109?  thats kewl, which one?  nvr flown myself, and dont care to, so i hope they dont go overboard with realism in this "game".  i like some realism, but i wouldnt want to actually fly a 38, seems like to much work to me from what ive read.  and to much work is not fun.

Tested out a few things after getting caught by pony in a tiff. At 6k the pony is 5-10 mph too fast. Wonder what other built in inaccuraccies there are. Co-incidently the Tiffy seems around 14mph at least too slow at 6k. Have yet to test that a Tiff should do 405mph @ 18k. But guessing it won't.

BTW how are those crying towels doing in the ladies washroom?

keep your word.

[Steve]

or are you talking about AH1 pony gaming-the-game?

Beet1e shut your narrow minded pie hole.  The pony was no more gamey than any other plane in AHI.  BTW  I'm not surprised, AHI is a game.

or are you talking about AH1 pony

If you were getting killed with ANY regularity over 600 yards in AHI,

What part of "in AHI" did you not understand?

beet1e, steve:

will you ever stop flirting and actualy get it on with each other?

The 109A - muhahaha - I've used that gag on this board before. I was going to tell you eventually. The other types I flew were Cessna - 150/152/172/182RG; Piper: Cherokee 140/180, Warrior 151/161, Arrow 3/4; Socata: TB10, TB20, Rallye.  Avions Pierre Robin: DR400 (my favourite - damned nice plane); .  Also flew various gliders. The TB10 was the one I owned for 8 years - French, with an American (Lycoming O-360) engine - lol - what a marriage. The gliders, the 109A, the DR400 and the Rallye were the ones I liked best. They had a joystick instead of that crappy American steering wheel arrangement. I think they call it a yoke.

Steve! "Beet1e shut your narrow minded pie hole. The pony was no more gamey than any other plane in AHI. BTW I'm not surprised, AHI is a game." I guess today's another "wring beet1e's neck day". No mate, AHI was a game. Do try to move with the times! Are you back in AH2 yet? Oh, just checked - you ARE back! So what kept you? you're 33/8 in your P51D which isn't bad - almost the exact same proportion as my 17/4 in P47D25 in T53. Hehe, I bet it sticks in the craw to be bumping along with mere mortals like me! But as promised, I will amend my sig. So what turned you around from deleted account to cherry picking with the gods? Maybe you just needed a fresh diaper? (That word cracks me up - in Britain it's a nappy)

Woohoo! Steve's back!




Mechanic - just noticed your avatar - still struggling? Bring it round to my house if you're still struggling.

My flight time is limited to a total of 13 hours in a Cessna 150 in the early 70s'

(Got married...there went the Pilots License) and lessons.

Flying the C150 I surely can't comment from experience on the FM of a Warbird from WWII.

The difference in FM between AHI and AHII imho on the great many (13) hours I've had of stick time LOL appears to me to be more accurate in AHII.  The blackouts definately more realistic.


Gunnery is also probably more realistic...was very easy for me to hit my target....early and often in AHI.  Methinks that from the total number of sorties and kills in real life combat would more match AH2 then AHI.

Again....only mho.

Approx. Statistic:   1 out of every 3 aircraft are either La7's or N1k's

And THAT  is something that has to change.

[fluffy]

The P51-D FM seems better than ever to me - almost as good as the P51-B now, but with better viz and 6 guns, and an olive green paint job if you want it. I love it. That is to say, my 'butt' is not hurtin' at all.

And how many of you remember some time ago somebody in here quoted a P51 veteran who told them that nobody fired outside of 250 yards in real life because you couldn't hit a thing due to bullet dispersion?

The big difference I notice in AHII is that the P51's asset of speed and of good handling at speed, is amplified by the shorter firing ranges. Harder for slower more manoeuverable planes to hit a P51 as it takes advantage of those assets to separate and set up for a return.

...and the other two thirds are P51s and Spits.

God, I hope not.  Few planes are more satisfying or fun to kill.

51's take more skill to fly.  Im ok with seeing a few la7's for defensive purposes but not groups of em hovering over bases...

I guess today's another "wring beet1e's neck day".  No mate,

Nah Beet, luv ya man.  I have to go to work.  more later.

Don't need to turn off the engines when you've got differential throttle control :c)
