So far every time I've engaged a G14 while flying a G6 I get em turning and they can't get away, climb turn dive whatever they can't get away and they die.

UNLESS HTC tweeked the FM for the G14 recently there are times when it' seems like it can't get out of it's own way.

Admit I flew it last nite and found it SEEMS to preform better then it used to.


Nothing has been changed on the G-14 since introduction.

But the keyword is indeed seems. Unfortunately, one has to be a bit restrained when coming to conclusions purely from MA fighting. I could start to think a A-5 turns better than a Spit-16.

And a similar same goes for climb, acceleration & such.  And the G-6 is still no "slow" accelerator, and 0.8 s advantage won't magically pull you away from your enemy.  While he's trying to do that, you will simply shoot him down. But same would be true for a Spit 16 (7.3s 150-200).

<--- likes the G14 over the K4.
You can't run away in a g14, you must fight it out! :rock

Seriously, the G14 is a wicked plane if you learn how to utilize its 'squirreliness'.

That's exactly how I described it when I tried flying it against you in the DA some instead of my K4.  It just felt a lot more sudden to depart than the K and sort of greasy as it got slow.  I can see how that could be useful, but I didn't want to have to mess with the squirrleiness until I get better at some of the other stuff first. 

Speaking of the DA, I need to get back in there with you and the rest of those guys, do you still do the 289/290 stuff in there in the evenings?
