I know.  Like, it would be so much better if you could sit at 10k in yur Typh and wait for some unsuspecting tard in a DR1 to engage a D7 so you can swoop down and and take him out with yur uber cannon hammer.

Good times.

A SPAD XII with the 37mm Hotchkiss gun wouldn't be too far off from this....
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

@ 5k,
 first loop or hard turn and its a toilet paper roll all the way to the ground.
for that matter, this could happen @ 100 feet as well.

I think i would really give this arena some time if the crates were more durable. (weather it is realistic or not) i dont care.
   I'M trying my best to change my attitude about this arena but it's tough.

Hmm I've only ripped my wings off one time, and that was the first day in a D7. Once you learn to fly and fight structural integrity of the aircraft isn't an issue, unless you have taken hits to the airframe.

exactly, you learn what the sounds are, youll know when youve pushed it to far once you do that (that creeking noise ya hear), just work your throttle, ive never seen planes where you are constantly working the throttle hard in dogfights, cutting that throttle really get that kite dancing, much more enjoyment than MA's
