WWI flying affects MA Flying...
« on: March 13, 2010, 09:07:38 AM »
Here are a couple of things that the WWI flying has done to my MA flying:

1) I really appreciate any airplane that can go over 140 MPH and climb faster than 1000 FPM (yea, I know that's everything :lol)

2) I find myself even closer to a con than ever, before opening fire.  Sometimes the distance icon was off the top of the screen and out of view.  This produces spectacular results.

3)  See a cloud of red, then fly into it.  I took the Spit 8 several times into the middle of multiple cons, and made a go of it.  With better than my average results.  Too fun!

You AHer's have other observations?

Kind of sounds like how I fly my Hurri-Mk1 in Early War.   :D

But yeah, I'd agree that time spent in WWI will benefit most people in the other arenas.  Some might actually learn how to fight.

I keep pulling back way too hard now, in WW2 planes. And being alarmed that things can actualy run away and/or catch me. My solution, fly WWI more !
