P51D needs to be removed from the game

[Yeager]

Rip,

The Chog in AcesHigh is equivalent to Bill Clinton in the White House.

Get my drift

This 1 ping kill you guys are speaking of is BS. You don't hear nor see all the hits! Ain't gonna happen. Been this way in these games a long time and most of ya know it. Think back, how many times have you been shot down by a buff's turbolasers and only heard 1 ping? Alot, but you know, intellectually, that 1 hit from a .50 ain't gonna blow you up, so you live with it.

I do see now why I don't get many kills in the hog. Based on Bane's post, I've been flying it wrong, lol.

If I see that I made one hit on a fresh unhit target, which then drops his wing or stabilizer....   is that then 1 hit or more than one hit?
Hearing pings is whole lot different thing, but I can't say the same about seeing your shots get enemy down with 1 or 2 hits.

I think all the planes are just fine. We don't need any changes and certainly don't need 1.05.
Thank you

That's strange, I thought that I read where pings and sprites were 1/1.......must be confusing my games now.

What was this thread about anyway?

The threads dead guys, I made my point. Go home now and get used the Chog.  Its here to stay, no changes are coming other than they'll fix the dispertion which will make it even a more deadly opponent, and if you don't like it, grab one and shoot down the SOB who just shot you down in it.  

[Yeager]

This thread is as dead as AH.

The Chog will forever in my mind be the ride of the wicked, the damned, the pre dead.

Forever the dweebmaker.

Ride rip! ride it!

Ummmm...I don't fly no friggin' DWEEB Chog!  And I don't like your assumption, nor your call for people to go out and shoot me down.  

I fly the Niki    Now where's my extra ammo?!?

I shot one (F4U-1C) down, using the ubėr-dweeb-hispano cannons that my Spitfire MkVb comes equipped with  , last night.

Only took 4 rounds in a high deflection, short ranged shot to blow its tail off.

Ram, you need to rethink your tactics if you are flying slowly enough to perform a hammerhead in range of an enemy fighter with its guns pointed at you.

Rip, are you hoping to have the P-51 replaced with another airplane?  Say... the P-61?

The one way to really resolve all of this is to have every fighter perform exactly the same regardless of what it looks like.  That might make it fair but probably not too much fun.  Wouldn't be much of a sim either.

The only way a P-51 can engage and disengage at will is if it has superior E before the engagement.

Your K/D in the P-51 basically shows one thing.... You have all day to fly around grabbing and waiting for the un-suspecting pilot to shoot. Just like you have all day to sit around reading and posting in these forums.

You mean I'm flying it like the TAS does?!? OMG!!!  Actually, most all my kills are under 20k, and I always maintain E, whether in a Pony or F4U. Only a fool would bleed his E in a pony.

In regards to my sitting on this board all day: Read this:

This is this cat 
This is is cat 
This is how cat 
This is to cat 
This is keep cat 
This is a cat 
This is handsomehunk cat 
This is busy cat 
This is for cat 
This is forty cat 
This is seconds cat 
Now go back and read the THIRD word in each line from the top

MIG, is called to rope the guy, you know. I am faster and with more E. He is in my tail. I zoom and then go vertical. The bad boy is going to cut some angles.

Still the guy stalled 800 yards under me. That is 2400 feet under me. That means taht I did the perfect rope, for when I had completed the hammer I'd have him stalled and ready to be butchered.

But one (1) (O-N-E) hispano round at 800 yards from a stalling plane changed the outcome of a perfectly executed move.

Its outrageous.

I keep reading about these magical one hit kills from d900 or so -- not only in this thread, but in a bunch of threads all over these boards.  I sure wish someone would post several films of this, to show that it does indeed happen all the time.  I think it would be pretty neat to see.
