HELLO!!! (wig waggy flags) WHAT IS WARPING?!?!?!
It is used to describe the phenomenon where the location information is held up on either the sending or recieving side, and the plane appears to fly in one direction for a time, then "warps" to a different location. Very frustrating when you are trying to kill someone.

Ahhh. I have recived enlightment!!!

Well anyway, it turns out I do know what you are talking about. Very annoying. I hate it when I am flying my B-25H and I crash into the ground.

I think about everything said in here about the c205 is true to some extent.  I love flying this plane.  Been flying it steady for about a week now and am impressed.  If flown smart and within its best envelope I think its hard to beat.

The 205 is not a bird you can pull gaming tricks in: no combat flaps, non bat turns. Its high wing load makes it a little difficult to master, but very challenging.
Actually, its not a popular bird when you look at it from the other side of the gunsight: 205 drivers do well using the old and good way: stay fast between 10 and 15K, fight in the vertical, use its impressive roll rate at high speeds and its firepower. This is quite unnervingg for the Spitfire IX, NIKI, La5 .... drivers, used to furball at 3K.

And the La7 is a 205 killer. At least below 10K.  Drag him high and stay as fast as you can.

Its a damned good mid war fighter.
With a DB605AM it could have been a good 1944 fighter as well.

Pyro and Hitech, please, find some time to redo the graphics of the bird. It deserves it.

Oh, there is more than one Krusty.. Count me in there too... When I fly a fighter, it's always the 205...
(Except when flying from a CV of course) There are several others that I see flying it as well...

Mostly I like it because it is DIFFERENT from what most others players fly... Aero Diversity, ya know ;)
Hate being one of a crowd!!!  Had my fill of that "uniformity thing" in a previous life!!!

Best polka-dot fighter in the game!  :D

I consider it a 109G with a better gun package.  If you don't like the 109's because of the guns, give the 205 a try.  I will fly the 109G-2 and G-6 before the 205, but it is a pretty close decision.

It's not a 109 with better guns IMHO

Close perhaps but it flys different.

The 205 used to be a tad faster then a 109g2 OTD?

I love this plane now. I used to be a P-51D driver or a P-47N driver, but this is better than both of those planes, for fighting anyway.

And if there are that few 205 drivers, then I might be mistaken for an ace and people will leave me alone untill I kill them.

Everyone saying "it's a 109 with better guns" should take a look at the sustained turn radius.

IMHO the 205 is much closer to the 190A-5

Come on, I didn't mean it is EXACTLY like a 109 with better guns.  It has plenty of differences if you look at it in detail, but you can jump in it and fly it with many of the same tactics and strategies a 109 uses, and you will have success.  Eventually you will want to develop your own 205 tactics, but as a starting point, your not far off with a 109 as a comparison.

So it is similar to the 109 g2. Is there any tactics for beating a more manuverable plane. About all I know is to take the fight vertical.

If anything I would call it more similar to a G6 than a G2...but I agree with the snail man that the 190 A5 is the closest comparison.
