C. 205

[Motherland]

Pretty much. I still use them though. The cannons ARE at par. Thanks guys. I found everything I needed unless you all have more to add.

Of course they're at par, they're the exact same gun.

Someone said that the C. 205's cannons were weaker, and so...

[USRanger]

Took a 205 up last night and came back with 3 scalps.  The cannons werk gud.

[Nemisis]

I know, I slaughterd a P-38 in something like 3 secs, an fw 190 in 2 and a bomber in something like 10 (I know they are not the origional numbers I posted, but this is probably more accurate).

I think the cannons work great two.


Any more last minute advice? I just got my new machine today. Like an hour ago. Once the batteries charge, and I get wifi, and all the rest set up it's off to the main arenas for me.

Don't use wifi, plug in... wireless connections can cause really bad warping.

[Nemisis]

I'm not going to use wifi for the game, I am going to use wifi when I can't plug it in. I just need to get is set up to use the internet and wifi comes before pluged in set up.


BTW what is warping? I have used wifi before and I have never had any problems. But that was with a different computer, in a different area, with the best wifi card and router I could get. This is the same but in a different area so maybe it will happen here.

C205 compresses? hmmm it is one of the best divers there is.

Not recommeneded to turn fight in this machine that is for sure & I normally do not have any issues when using flaps.

It is more than a match for 51's , 38's , 190's ( F's require some work ) & F6. As always it's the pilot not the plane but many a good fight can be had when in a C205 as it seems to attract lots of attention from those who think it is an easy kill.

As for the cannons they may have slightly improved as , to me , they do not seem as weak as they were.

I have them set at 200 & rarely fire at 400 or more unless screaming down onto a formation of buffs & slicing the tail sections off lancs. But that is just how I do it. Rather fire close with more certainty of getting vital hits.

It does. However you may not notice it because the onset is quite sudden and only at very high speeds. So you can go 450mph no sweat, and be locked up by 460 (or whatever the actual speeds are).

As always it's the pilot not the plane

Put Mario Andretti in a Ugo and he's still not going to win any races. Pilot skill definitely helps, but a decent ride only amplifies a pilot's pre-existing skill. The C2 won't boost your talent any, but it's a great ride to score kills in, I'll give 'er that!

I always enjoy flying it. One thing that does stand out about it is the fact that is uses a Daimler-Benz DB605 engine. Which means it's a 109 on steroids. Climb rate is excellent, so you really wanna work the vertical in it. Take it up to 15k with a 300ft alt advantage and you can hang in a fight all day long. I remember one particular scrap with the 357th where we had been having problems with spies (or at least channel bleeding) for a few hours. We upped around 20 or 25 205's and 202's, and headed to 15k. Sure enough, we met a mix of uuber rides (stangs, 109Ks, spitxteens, La's, ect) just about the height we had said we were going (we had really gone around 1.5k higher) and stomped on them. All we had to do was set up a wide, rough luffberry right on their heads, pick a card, and dive on it. Bang bang bang, climb back up, rinse, repeat. It performs great at mid alt, and still holds it's own very nicely on the deck. There was a period of time where I had decided it was the only fighter I was gonna fly. It was great fun.

The Fw 190F is the worst model of the Fw 190 for air to air combat...

Uhm.. 109 on steroids because of the DB 605? From G onwards the 109 has a DB605...

And compare the C.205 to the ole 109G-2



Doesn't look exactly like a 109 on steroids to me...

[Motherland]

At low levels, the C205 has speed/climb performance similar to that you'd expect from the Bf 109F-4, and maneuverability similar to that of the G-6. It does, however, have two MG151/20's.

HELLO!!! (wig waggy flags) WHAT IS WARPING?!?!?!

[thrila]

HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED STAR TREK?

[Nemisis]

Only once or twice. Not the movie, haven't seen that yet. I wasn't part of that. But do you mean where it streches out? Like the front half moves faster than the back half for a couple of secs?
