What's up with the 51 now?

[RoGenT]

Seemed okay for me. Little sluggish at times but I think it was just JS issues rather than the plane itself.

[TheRapier]

Sorry not the same.

1. Compresses easier than before.
2. Takes engine damage much easier.
3. Head position is limited from side to side.
4. Bullets have more drop than before.

I wish we'd leave well enough alone when a camp is in progress.

Would like a dedicated pony pilot to chime in here.
(i.e. someone like SkatSr who's main ride is the pony and has been for 5+ years)

HTC didn't say anything in any release about changing the FM of the pony and I doubt they would w/o telling us.
(don't recall 'em ever changing the FM in any way w/o a heads up)

[Nemisis]

perhaps a bug? Seems the supply bug is popping up again, only its become more erratic. Tiger turrets not being repaired, M4 tracks/engines staying broken, just crap like that ever little while.

Skat gave the game up a while back. But after getting everything set like I had it before update, all seems the same. I haven't had any problems with compression,turns or bullet trajectory tonight. I just got out of a 5vs1 and made it home with 5 kills...so I'm happy with the way it's flying to say the least. 

Well I did have Perdweebs help

I haven't noticed anything wrong with the bullet drop. And since it uses the same U.S. .50's as all U.S. planes with the exception of the C-hog, everyone who flys US iron would be screaming his head off had this happened.

Pony seems fine, they blow up when my taters hit em. And run away when they see me. All seems well.

Nothing was changed with the Pony.  It's your flying.  Just an off week perhaps.

[TheRapier]

I've been flying the pony for over a year now. It's changed.

Doesn't mean that you can't be relatively successful in it, but its not the plane it used to be.

Otherwise, believe what you want, most folks will anyway

[Lusche]

I don't know about the pony... but in my first flight for a week last night, I ripped off both wings in a Hurri IIC while evading a HO merge... first time ever in 5 years of play

As to me, pony engine performance is changed 3 patches ago.
It is faster.
Also bulltes more powerfull.


On the contrary, I find f4ux more difficults to drive then before.

 

[lulu]

Another possibility is that UpTown is using a wrong wax to wax his pony!   

 

[froger]

Haven't noticed any changes to the P-51, they still run like they used to before the patch.


ack-ack

 

delta not much fun to me anymore,

bravo = more of a challenge and more fun to fly

Don't fly it much, but last night had it compress on me in a way I don't remember it being prone to before. I augered as I was busy trying to work out what the flump was going on. This was obviously in a dive, but with power all the way back.

Next flight out, deliberately tested in a dive and sure enough it compressed again, requiring lots of elevator trim to recover.

Maybe its always done that, but I don't recall it being a problem before. Felt more like a 109 TBH.

Froger, the B pony isn't that much harder to use. 2 less guns, slightly worse view, and a bit slower on the deck. Thats about it.
