Its probably more realistic, but it sure is less fun. No bout a doubt it.

LMAO nothing wrong with killshooter if you just dont shoot at friendly planes.

Speaking of which. had an instance that made me laugh.
couple weeks ago Im flying and myself and a couple other folks were chasing down a 109. Im in the lead plane and the guy right BEHIND me I can hear shooting and he's talking over the radio telling ME by name ot watch out for killshooter.

really cracked me up. YOUR trying to shoot over my shoulder and your telling ME to watch the way I fly because of killshooter??

Even funnier is I've had 3 or 4 other people say the same thing to me

How bout this instead . Dont try to shoot past me and you wont have to worry about killshooter. I like that idea much better.

Just for the record any subsequent similar requests in the future will be ignored and laughed at.

99% of the killshooters I've witness have been the shooters own fault. including my own.
The other day I had one. first in months and months.
Was on the tail of a NIKI and a friendly was comming in HO on the same NIK I saw him comming yet I tried to squeese in a shot anyway. Blammo Im in the tower.

MY FAULT I knew better

Can't have it both ways, min of 75% fuel, or a lower burn rate, take your pick.

Make the fuel porkable again then.

The 2x FMB promote timidity especially in gay planes like the P51.

I'd be all for it if it werent for all the whining about it that would follow.

When fuel endurance can be used against the enemy in timid actions, I'd do it. I've got no duties to satisfy someone's combat lust to the expense me being shot down.

For me there is no problem with the fuel burn rate because all I pretty much fly is the 38. For me though it benifits me by keeps people flying la7s, yaks, and spits long distances because thats what they did in AH 1. For me seeing a la7 go 2 sectors and back is really annoying. If you want to go long range then get a plane with drop tanks and that has good legs such as the 51 or 38.

If you have to lift off, and protect a field w/ incom. nme's close by, you lift off with 100% and you are at a serious disad. being hvy w/ fuel. I would like to see a slight tweak.

if i up a spit i up with 100%fuel and droptank

You don't have to fly at full throttle all the time, or with RPM high.

I'll let that one speak for itself. Shame on you all for not catching that one!

Shhhhh dont tell em that. 2/3 of the kills I get is because my opponents are running full throttle:D

That's stupid ,historicaly one of the strenght of the Typhoon was her high speed cruise.

Because of the FBM a Typhoon pilot can use this asset when a PeePee51 pilot instead of having an overweight plane just go full rpm playing the alt monkey/cherry picker.

I still prefer the fighting the LA7 in my typhoon because they often fight when the P51 just run away waiting to kill me when I RTB because of fuel.

Don't say just climb to use less fuel ... climbing is not the strong point of the Typhoon as you should know.

This illustrate the weak point of the weakness/stupidity of the FBM it strech the on X,Y but left Z out of the equation ...
