i think the point he is trying to make is, planes with 1/2 wings shouldn't be able to fly at full speed. I personally think they shouldn't be able to fly at all, even thou I love when I can land my K4 or 190 with 3 well earned kill after taking damage like that...
Some planes in the game need a bunch of rudder input after losing part of a wing to offset roll. These in general slow noticeably due to the increased drag from the rudder.Other planes in the game only require a small amount of aileron input after losing part of a wing. These planes hardly slow down if at all and can be placed on auto-pilot while missing wing parts.I don't know where the La7 fits but I suspect it's in the second group.
Any airplane missing a large section of wing will be slower, not faster. An open gash through a wing and trim drag created by deflected flight controls to maintain flight results in a large increase in drag. The airplane will slow down.
If you are feeling a little useless, offended, or depressed, just remember that you were once the fastest and most victorious little sperm out of millions.
Really? Here's one example of why you should. It landed safely in Italy after striking a chimney while strafing ground targets. That is a decent amount of "wing" removed from the plane. (Image removed from quote.)
I got no problem pushing doras and K4 at 300+ on the deck with missing wingtips.
I guess I need to be more specific. A REAL aircraft will slow down.
Yes, slow down or crash. Not be able to keep full speed.
They do slow down. Should they instantly lose the stored Energy?
Talking about airplanes flying with half wing missing....(Image removed from quote.)
eeeehh.. Yes. cause the wing ain't aerodynamic anymore. And more airpressure will tear the wing more apart, cause the air suppose to go around the wing.... not in it. So if you wanna keep the rest on the wing, you have to stay slow and consentrate to stay in air to make a safe landing.
Wrong. If a wing portion is shed, it won't INSTANTLY, reduce to the speed of flyable cruise. It will gradually come down (if flyable), but not an immediate stop.
