I believe the 109 had gun gondolas carried in that one (unless I'm thinking of a different fight), and it looked like the P-47 was a D40. The D40 can turn with a 109, but not out turn it. Add the gondolas into the equation (or flaps for the P-47, can give it a big boost over a short time) and the P-47 might be able to out turn the 109.

1. well, vehicle spawns, you can spawn right next to an enemy base or at least close to it.

It's a game.  How far would you prefer to drive?  Would driving further be fun?

2. base radar is good, but base flashing ? it starts right as you get into the enemies radar circle.

I assume you are speaking of NOE.  Otherwise, why wouldn't the base flash as you show up on radar?  Anyway, NOE base flashing is supposed to represent someone on the ground seeing and reporting enemy units in the vicinity.

3. fuel loud outs change in the DA and MA.

Burn Multiplyer?  A gameplay concession due to the fact that enemy bases usually aren't merely 30 miles away.  If you are refering to a plane taking off with less than a full fuel load, then I'm with you.

4. "a guess" Some planes in aces high don't act like the planes they should be, ( what are you saying ? ) for example a 190 in world war 2 could actually out fly a spitfire, a P-47 thunderbolt was a good dogfighter during world war 2, P-51's could out turn a 109, yet some have told me a 109 out turns a p-51 on aces high. in some ways I've wondered the possibility that htc had to make changes to these aircraft in order to balance gameplay in a dogfight ?

You "guess"?  Based on Dogfights or your own personal research and actual flight experience?

I just wonder is all, please understand, i am only replying at wrongways reply.
i am not in anyway bashing htc or their work that has been done, i am simple pointing out that in some area's this game is not totally historic accurate, and that it may not hurt to add some aircraft such as the b-29 to the game aces high II.

It's not history.  It's a game.  Spitfires didn't fight Spitfires.  ME109s didn't fight FW190s.

Lets not forget the abundance of tigers. More are killed each month than were produced in WWII. We also have an over abundance of M4A3(76)W's, Spit XVI's, P-47M's and others. All relative to the numbers we see in the game.

Also, P-51's rarely, if ever, carried 1000lb bombs AND rockets. Much is fubar in AH if we are going on history. If you want realism as far as numbers, go play WWIIOL (type in in google).

i didn't know that a 262 was the most hunted for in the game ? i couldn't care less going after a 262 lol.
Fly one, go in at 5K into a mess of enemy, around ~350-400 and see how many guys you have on your six when you emerge. Also how many fire at you from 800-1K .

Not one of you posted a kind or positive comment.

Really? And just how do arenas become over-crowded when new players dont subscribe?

Really? And just how do arenas become over-crowded when new players dont subscribe?

Simple: all the GV'ers pile into the map that breeds the better fights, bomb****s follow for easy kills, and then the fighter boys jump on the wagon to hunt the low flying aircraft.

It can also start with the bombers: fighters come to hunt them, and GV's come to opperate under the percieved saftey of aircover. WHY would any GVer want to go to the arena full of bomb****s and lacking in fighters? And why would the fighter pilots all pile in with the GV's, when bombing provides no chalange for them?

Everyone goes to the fights, or where they can opperate in an area that can give something approaching an even fight.

Your post fails to answer my question. I was asking, "How is it that the arenas are over crowding when newer people are chosing not to subscribe?" If a population chooses not to subscribe, then the arena count would be dropping, or staying the same as it is right now.

You are trying to tell me that people go where fights are. What does that have to do with people not subscribing? You are not making any sense. If people are looking for fights, and they find them, then the logical reasoning is that they are likely to subscribe, as that is the type of gameplay they have been looking for in a combat flight sim.

It has little to do with subscribing, but you asked how the arenas are getting crowded. Its only one arena, with the overflow going to the other arena. Usually the overflow from LWO heading for LWB.
