How Sad.....

Wow...I may start flying the 47 more...how do you fly two sectors with an oil leak?  If that plane is that tough I need to fly it more often.  Two sectors?

Changeup

Oil leaks of are minor immediate consequence in most radial-engined planes.

No radiator = more oil needed to keep engine cool.

More oil = two sectors.

i think i got a sleep disorder......

also if im getting chased by two planes all is fair in love an war (ho'ing), i would make a low E 180 turn maintaining speed turn bak for the lead guy (not directly at him though but just enough to make him blow alot of E to get on my 6 and at that ill ho the hek out of the tailing guy (keep in mind fire an forget method) shoot an break off before u get within 800yrds. now hopefully 1 guy is dead and u still have more E on the guy u origanly made turn for your 6. now its a 1 Vs 1 wa la!. that or your dead.

In my opinion, Bingo is a game that old ladies play.


ack-ack

The fun part is trying to make them auger when your out of ammo.

I'm confused (admittedly I don't know a lot about aircraft piston engines) - are you saying that a radial engine has a relatively larger overall capacity in the oil system than an in-line, because the radial uses oil for cooling, as opposed to just for lubrication, more than the in-line does - and that means there's more oil to leak so it takes longer for it to run out?

I guess I hadn't noticed because the fighters I fly are almost exclusively radials, except for the occasional Spit XVI which we all know doesn't need oil because it's a UFO.

all internal combustion engines are cooled partly by the engine oil.

Leave it to you guys to take a run of the mill flaming to a discussion on radial-engines.

What i like is being call out to get into a GV and fight instead of bombing them in my P-47.  I simply reply that 353rd FG is a P-47/P-51 FG, not a GV squad.

don't even honor them with a reply. instead, bring lancs, just to piss em off more.

I like how you think!
