How much beer will this cost me?

[crockett]

Just let me know how much beer I need to send to the HTC offices.

I maybe willing to settle for a optional 200 round rear gun load out on the 110's.. However I prefer to get rid of the back seat all together.

Just let me know what kinda beer yea want..

If I remember correctly, HTC has been making enough money off of us for a nicer lifestyle and only good scotch will suffice for bribes.

Well if I remember correctly.

HT said he wanted 200 cases of this , for me to get this .

goooooood luck

Maybe they could be nice, and just give us the option of loading either 200 rounds or no rounds of ammo in the rear gun instead. I hate killing my accuracy score just to unload a bunch of useless ammo to lighten up the plane.

IMO if it comes to the point I'd actually consider using that BB gun in the back seat of a 110, well I'm already dead.

Not that it means much but this was discussed earlier.  I think the conclusion was that the weight lost by firing off those rounds is almost pointless as it only drops you 100-200 pounds or something which is moot when you're flying an aircraft that weighs over a ton.

If I ever win the lotto, I'll call him out on that

You're saving 98 lbs on an airframe that weighs 18181 lbs to start with. That's with OUT including DTs or WGr21s or bombs! That's just internal ord and full guns. Take the 4 gun package and you start out at 17500 lbs.

Removing the tail gun won't do jack


EDIT: Not to mention the fact that it isn't historically accurate or anything

I always fly it as a fighter with the heavy gun package.. I do carry drop tanks though, so that way I can fly @ 50% fuel.. I just see no use in a back seat.  

Of course it's historically accurate I got the spy picture, from a deep undercover spy that infiltrated the nazi ranks. His code name was photozhop.

Just look at it, it would be the A-10 of ww2 lol

Getting on the topic of the 110 that's in game. Am I the only one that thinks 10 eny is a bit crazy for the 110?

I decided to give the plane a go this tour and use it as a fighter for air to air combat.  I tend to pick a new plane each tour to try to learn. Out of all the planes I've done this with so far, the 110 is the first one that's under 20 eny.

In reguards to air to air combat, it has to be one of the hardest planes I've flown in this game and it's one hell of a handful to fly in a furball.  What is the most disappointing is coming home and landing kills in it, only to get almost nothing in perk points. (yea,yea yea I'm perk farming for 262's)

I can up a yak or a A6m come home with 3 kills and earn 10 perks fairly easy. With both of those planes being some of the best in the game as far as I'm concerned. (yet they are both 20 eny)  However taking up a 110 and landing 5 kills you are lucky to earn 5 perks.

I realize it's likely perked because it's probably one of the best town killers, but wouldn't 15 eny be more reasonable? Considering it's one of the hardest planes in the game to fight with, being it's so heavy.

I'm really not complaining about perks so much, just figured I'd bring that part up because it's annoying. What is irritating to me is the fact that last right I couldn't fly it half the night, because eny was always between 10-15. (which happens quite often) So it was fairly annoying being that's the plane I'm trying to learn this tour and it's one of the harest to fly yet gets crippled with a 10 ENY.

It might be because, in addition to being a pretty good ground attack plane, it's among the best buff hunters.  Pretty hard to argue with 2 x 30 mm and 4 x 20 mm cannons, lots of fuel/range and good high alt handling.

I've beat many different fighters with it up high (~20k).  It might be luck but I seem to get 1-2 fighter kills in it every time I up one.  It's not as good on the deck.
