Grun, why don't you do some climb tests then?

You don't have to be an expert.  Go offline with a watch and spend an hour and you'll have some numbers.  If they are off, I'm sure Pyro will fix them.

Only DATA can get a change made.

BTW RAM, the best way to say "no comment" is just to not post.  Please, take "no comment" literally.

Its my way to say that I **have** a lot of things to say, but that I'd rather not start another flamewar.

Another way to state my opinion. But in a non-flaming way

GRUNHERZ....quick question sir knight....in one of your posts you stated you "used your DT for most of the flight until...."  Is my FE porked ???.....I don't have a DT selection option for the Niki. :-((

For eddiek.....they changed the ammo loadout for the Niki sometime after 1.03 (or there abouts??).  It will read 400/200 until version 1.05 where they fix the loadout.

I think there's still some bugs with the N1K2's FM...namely the turning ability of the combat flaps but without much of a drag penalty. (and apparently the lack of split flaps in landing configuration)

And it's dive acceleration is uber. But that's just personal opinion

What is a Niki? Oh, I see, the cannon armed cucumber.

RAM why do you post if you are not playing?
it seems a waste of time unless you are on another account?   .
We all have our veiws on NIKI's performance but things like <no comment> is just bad for the mood of BB.Every time i see a post on Niki quirks i see RAM'i told you so' stuff,sort of funny at first but now a little annoying.
No hard feelings but just discuss things dont imply you know for certain whats right/wrong with NIKI as im sure you like me have never flown one or even seen one in RL.
Just a bunch of figures in a book.

Its not really a good idea to be critical of ANYTHING that may be remotely identifiable as a whine about gameplay or FMs.

Everyone KNOWS everything is PERFECT so SHUTUP already.

"This isnt so unusual guys last time it was obvious that the 190A5 had FM issues"

BUT the Fw 190A-5 was fixed because several ppl pointed out an error in it's loaded weight/climbrate and backed it up with DATA. Add in the general changes in the 1.04 FM, and the Fw 190A-5 suddenly wasn't "flavour of the month" anymore.

If you think something is wrong with the N1K2-J and it needs to be fixed, you're going to have to provide more than a "gut feeling" about it to get a response from HTC.

Juzz, instead of data, I was thinking about a "Florida Vote" system.

We'll place FM model changes on a ballot and then argue over them for a six months. In the end, lawyers will take over and select the FM.

 

I just don't understand this fixation with actual aircraft performance data.

Maybe each plane could have sliders in the hangar. Each pilot just goes out to the hangar and arrange the sliders the way he thinks they ought to be.

Like you can push the "Max Airspeed" slider up to 700kts at 10K because you have an Air Classics that says the SuperShooter 300A could do 700kts. Should be all the proof you need, right?

Just a thought.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

What I find annoying about the N1K2 is that in the MA are a lot of them ,and in any H2H I find there are always at least a couple of nikis, unless they are forbidden by the host.

I just got out from a Stalingrad map (wonderful ,BTW,all snowy) H2H, and most people were in german planes...

except the classic N1K2s... they are everywhere
