Brewster B-239 and the I-16

[Die Hard]

... irrelevant if you get close enough.

Right.

Seems to me that the I16 out does the Brew in a turn fight.

Definitely not.  I watched Larry do some really cool slow yo yo's the other day as he was killing me in various turney planes. 

Brew will pretty much out turn anything.

You need to use the vertical in a the I-16.  It may even be able to hammerhead.  I chased someone up in a classic rope and instead of falling over on a wing and getting whacked I just hung there and raked him as he fell off.

Both are lots of fun but in LW MA they will get B n Z'd to death.

I think the Brew does have the edge in a turnfight, but they are close enough that energy state, fuel loads, and initial moves will make the difference in a duel, not to mention the pilot. They are a really fun matchup, and both a/c are a hoot to zoom around in. A6M2 vs either is a ride as well.

"Both are lots of fun but in LW MA they will get B n Z'd to death."

-Thats alwats been true "on paper" but the reality of the LWA is something else, more often than not.

I took out the Brew for the 1st time today, you guys are right about it being better then the I16.

Very good read all, thank you.


I would just like to point out that this is a beta, and is more about getting peoples games working with the recent graphic additions and enhancements. Everything is subject to change.

So dont get too use to anything when it comes to flight models damage abilitys and such.


Play nice, and enjoy!

THANKS HTC!

This is gonna be great! A zeke with .50s that can dive! The "BREW" is gonna be a hoot. Not sure what all the grief is about. No matter what the early record of the Brewsters might have been, the Finns whipped the holy living snot of the Reds with em with apparent ease. So unless there was some pre-war secret society of Finnish pilots that somehow made them supermen compared to the Russians, the modeling seems correct. I love to TnB and this will just be another fun ride. BnZ is for retards.

I wouldn't dismiss that possibility...

I can't help but wonder how many of those 400,000+ MIA actually used that opportunity to head West.
