Kinda funny at pictures 3 & 4... you're using a Fencer Ta152 skin and the guy in the P51D is using a Fencer skin as well :D

This guy was trying to take the town down:





no more shooting defenseless buildings for him.

 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

I highly advised you then, to avoid the killing a ho-tard thread in this forum.  Hint: it's a c-hog.  :)

Thanks glock. I have discovered that the La5 makes very nice harpoons out of perfectly good airplanes.  :t

I almost never ho, but with goons, bombers or 262s, i do so with extreme prejudice.

HOing doesn't count with bombers.

The HO whine is about taking a face shot instead of maneuvering for a dogfight.

You don't dogfight buffs, so the point is naught. The head on attack was the most efficient way to take out a B-17 and the Luftwaffe taught it as a primary attack method. Go for it on buffs.

Goons can't shoot back.... not a HO either  :aok

Nice screenshots, Caldera.

I HO Bombers whenever I get the chance because they usually shoot me down. So, I like to stay in the fire as short a time as possible.

I am really digging the 152 at the moment.

I went hunting last night, low fuel, no radar.... just a small chunk of dar bar and a report of 'strato-17s' in the area.

Up I went with a very, very drunk squadie trying to beat me to the buffs and take all the kills.  :lol

Up at 22K I found the buffs and called out their position and heading.



Even at the relatively low altitude of 22k the Ta 152 is absolutely stunning for buff hunting. It has so much power and so much stability.

That stability sometimes gets me a little too close to enemy targets.... that 'on rails' feeling makes it hard to avoid warping buffs at short notice:

unless one is using the stall limiter i just dont understand this 'on rails' thing. This game has one of the most realistic 'feeling' FMs for a WW2 sim ive encountered. The thing that prooves this to me is that i turned off all the stall buzzer and buffet horns on the day they were added, and never had a problem 'feeling' the stall point of any aircraft. On rails? i just dont see it. Great screen shots though!
And I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.
