StickStirring AH Style
« on: October 14, 1999, 08:32:00 PM »
Ok guys this is an observation, not a restart of the whole Brand W, Stick Stirring debate.

So far the AH FM is very unkind to people that wrench the stick, at least in most situations since they stall out. This is good  

One place I do tend to notice it is with Spitfire's. In slow speed , close range , saddled up fights, it seems like visually on my FE, the spitfire is spinning like a top side to side. It even looks like it flips on its top and back to normal from time to time.

Its not like in WB's where you get actual warps, it is just that it  give very false visual clues as to where the aircraft is going to go. Which is a problem in its own self.

I don't see this effect with any other aircraft, but please don't take it as Spit bashing (expecting fd-ski to show up   ) It may just be that the Spit is the only real TnB plane we have so far, and it may be an artifact of the FM. I guess we will see when the Hurri and Zero are added to the game.

Vermillion,

I seen a Spit do a beautiful tail dance on the ground.  Actually it was quite pretty.  I could not slow down enough to watch the entire show.

I've seen the same thing several times now.

Ussually with spits, although a LA5 was working on it once.
