F4U Requests
« on: August 24, 2007, 12:34:08 PM »
Ok, apparently HTC listened to the whining about the 1A's wing tanks. Are you happy now guys? :p

Anyway, once again I'd like to request:

Fixed gunsight: The functional gunsight in the bubble-top Hogs appears WAY too small. I went through it once before, but it should be roughly double its current size. However, any adjustment  would be helpful as the site is microscopic as it is.

Tiny Tims!!!

Centerline pylon for the 2k pounder bomb in the 1D

Option to fly the 1A as a land-based variant without wing folding and arrestor gear. A LARGE number of 1As were produced this way.

What do you mean? I haven't flown them yet since the patch, what changed? They just said "remapped some damage" or some such generic wording.

Fuel distribution in the 1A is now the same as the -1, instead of equal fuel percentage in all tanks (which IMO was FAR more versatile and useful than only filling the wings once the main tank filled).

its much better for dog fighting if you only fill the center tanks.

The point is, the way gas was loaded in the wings made good "climb to alt and get there" gas.

Taking off a sector or so away with 75% internal gas, by taking off the opposite direction and beginning climbout with a slow turn onto course, by the time I reached my cruise altitude (15,000ft) I had both wings burned down to 1/8 and didn't have to touch my main, and generally would be preparing to roll in. The only problem I had with fuel loading would be the occasional lapse in attention leading to over-burning the wing tanks, or running into an enemy early.

SOME people didn't like watching their fuel gauge and switching tanks. :p

I dont think DTs should be able to be loaded unless 100%
fuel is selected.

Yep.  The way it is now reminds me how people in AW used to game the fuel load outs.
