Two fixes I most hope to see in v1.07

[Karnak]

I would love to see both of these bugs, Pyro mentioned that they both exist, fixed in v1.07:

1) The Typhoon rolls too well by about 50%.

2) The N1K2-J does not bleed as much energy as it should.

Please HTC, fix these flight model errors.

Kiitos.

Here's mine:

1) Films that record and playback 100% of the time -- ok I'd settle for 99.5% of the time.  
2) realistic 88mm ack. No more psychic tarot-card reading death star turbolaser first ping kills ya flak.

Sancho,
First ping should kill ya. but first ping shouldnt be first shots from the ack.
ever see pics of b17s blown in half from 88mm flak or a pic of a fire ball that was a 51d 2 sec before? very serious stuff, but very interesting.
not saying it's ok as is, just saying first ping should kill ya.

Good points Karnak, but IIRC the 50% figure is minimum at some speeds the AH Thyphoon has almost double or triple its RL roll rate as shown by the NACA charts.

Plus I think Pyro also said something about niki having a bug in its vertical performance.

No argument there.  Big bellybutton flak round meets aluminum plane and there is no question who is going to win.  What I meant to type was first flak burst always hits you and flak anticipates your every move.

Where did Pyro say these things about the N1K?  I've never seen any evidence to support something like that, would be interested to read it.  The only thing I know about is a slight error in the climb at high altitudes when using WEP.

Well, it's not QUITE triple the rollrate Grun

n1k2 certainly has a bug in its vertical performance.

it has unmatched dive acceleration and unmatched zoom performance.

add to that its ability to retain e and you have a problem.

[MANDOBLE]

vertical zoom with engine stopped: 190A8 vs nikki:

Well, nikki outzooms radically the 190A8.
AFAIK, with engine stopped there are three main factors related to the zoom climb: initial speed, weight and drag. Initial speed was the same so, is the nikki much heavier than 109A8? Has the nikki half the drag than 190A8?

[flakbait]

N1K2 loaded weight: 8,818 lbs

It's about 1,200 lbs lighter than a P-51D, with 220 some-odd more HP. Provided Pyro stuck the 1,990 HP engine in it and not an 1,800 Hp or less engine. Either way something screwey is going on with it.

Funked that came up on the BBS a few months ago, after the 1.04 FM came out and Pyro said something about its vertical performance capability being off.

As for WEP climb rate at high alt being too high, this is also true. Its far from a scientific test to be sure but I have easily outclimed P51Ds in a niki at over 28K, and these P51Ds were flown by experienced pilots.
Every time they tried to zoom up after a pass I began to quickly gain on them, nearing 600yd gun ranges until the mustang was forced to dive away. Mind you the mustangs usually started higher in the fight and my niki had about 75% gas in its in tanks. Except in dive I also outaccelerated these P51Ds at over 28K, niki may be good mid alt but at 28K it should be garbage according to what I read on Japanse engines at hi alt.

1)P-38 fowler flaps,dive flap, stall and ARMOUR (is its armour modeled? Heck im getting killed by a few pings of 303 at d700!)

2)What Karnak Said

3)Chog turbonuketipwarhead hispano.

4)88mm psychik flak & ability to keep fighters below 3k when fleet is near airfield

5)1 ping kill field ack.

6)GV armour (already addressed next version it seems).

Yak-9u dives 125-160mph/200-250kmh too fast without locking up compared to NII VVS tests.


Also it never ever could dive at speeds like 600mph/960kmh, which it does in AH. 435mph/700kmh would be more realistic.
