plane id = gamey

but what's the diff, you have the gameyness too ... you know its a spitV and not a 14...

it will push some out of the 109f and into 109g10, etc..

it is a feature I will not cry if it goes away

i haven't flow it yet, but im looking forward to the opposite of what you guys are saying..

suckering a spit into a fight with him thinking i can't turn with him...

then when it's too late the fight is on im in a 109E and he can't turn with me.

only way i could accept it is if it only showed at under something like 200 yards, at that range most people can tell the difference anyway...

under 200 the icon should go away altogether

My understanding is that HT is going to change the FM on the 190's very soon. They will also get a face lift.

If we can get maneuvering flaps on the 190's, and this is somewhat contentious, the 190's may become a more popular ride.

And if they set the A8 so that it can outturn a A5, as my understanding the real A8 outturned the A5, and the Dora outturned the A8.

So we can just hope that the 190s get tuned up soon.

But from my limited readings of WW2 (I'm a WW1 buff) the late war Allied planes were in fact very good. And in a MA where all planes are available most people will gravitate to the better plane sets. The Pony D, Spit 9, NIKI and LA7 are prime expamples, and more people fly the Dora than the 190A8 even though the Dora has only a slight edge on K/D over the A8.

Here is an example, since you can no longer sucker a Pony or a LA7 into a turn fight with your 109F4, because he thinks it's a G10, why fly the Frank?

Late model rides will be more popular, and the late war allied planes are excellent.

Not the LW conspiracy theory again

I think the effect will be far more subltle then some here propose.
If you see two 109s running and you realize at 500 yards that one is a F4 and the other a G10 then you might have some added information to make your decisions.

Basically they have to limit the high detial icon to a range where you have allready engaged.

Bah. And BS. And other not nice things.

This may be an unfair question, but it might help illistrate the new icon systems usefullness.

How many of you in a fly over of an airshow at 1000yds above the flight line could identify the following planes parked side by side? Even from 200yds up...or if you merged with each having 1000yds separation between your wing tips as you passed.

North American
NJ-1
NJ-2
SNJ-1
SNJ-2
SNJ-3
SNJ-4
SNJ-5
SNJ-6
AT-6 Texan
AT-6 Texan Mosquito
Harvard
BT-9B

These planes all look very similare with variations. BT-9B has fixed gear. Harvard was built for the british. They would all have different color and marking scheams. But to this day when I go to airshows I goof and call them all Texans untill I get closer than 200yds.

is it just me?

I am seeing 109 subtypes way earlier than other ac?

Is there a setting error re the 109's

Otherwise the icon thing is great!

Oh and its La (as in La7 or La5FN or La5F or La5 or LaGG3) not LA

I am trully humbled by such scholarly wisdom. Very concise and well articulated!

Am I the only one who doesn't care which plane I'm fighting, nor fear certain planes more then others?

Am I the only one who chooses an aircraft to fly because it'll be fun to fly, not because it is good?

Pongo · « **Reply #42 on:** February 18, 2005, 05:27:14 PM »

I fear a low spit dragging its wing. But thats me.

No you're not but now you will be ganged up on more than ever if you fly older planes because you will be an easier target.
This will cut your fun real soon, real fast.

Funny, I've been fighting the rook La7's for about a year now. Yet, I still have fun downing them with P40b's...
