Yup.  I had a few good flights destroying spixtweens and pee51s with my trusty Ki-84.  Low and behold I see a few Ki-84s showing up!

On a different note it is surprising how many people in the DA don't realize that there is advantage to actually throttling down or off at the right moments.  The spit16s were all killed with a simple verticle overshoot.

i've flown 50k mountains in a lanc. it's a squeak, but a formation at 50k can be done.


Since the climb rate of a Lancaster at 40,000ft is about -1100ft per minute AND the fact that in AH its engines cut out at 45,000ft I call BS.

Probably did it offline with a huge up wind; most likely BS.

Do any maps even have 50,000 ft mountains on them?  I feel like the worst I've seen is 30,000ft-ish

May have not been his friend Tony, but I know for a fact that Cmustard was uping 262s to the furball, and picking kills. Tachyon was falling in his line.

But we need you now, not when your parents let you play again this summer!
cant help you there. try taking out a 110. reliable craft, lotta guns. go head-on with a 234 and use the cannons through an engine.

btw, its been awhile. in dueling arena, can you carry bombs from a fiter base?

Question.  What time and day is it most likely to find TAS in the DA and in force?  I have a reason for wanting to know this and a plan in mind.    :t
