cant stand the game anymore

by a f4u catching a 262 going 550.i was in a 262 going 550 and the f4u was catching me from 4k out

just now,im in a p47M,hurri2C catches me.this game is such BS

It is all about the starting ENERGY.  If that Hurricane is high enough, has enough E, and has a good angle vs your turning slow-n-low P47M, then yes it is highly probable.

The F4Ux is one of the best E planes in the sim-game.  It can hold its own.  If it was able to dive down for a few thousand feet and get its speed up to 550mph, then yes it very probably could hang with a 262 for a ways, especially if it were a F4U-4.

If you are getting burned out then people understand, but double check your reasons.  There is always a logical reason why plane X caught plane Y.  Always.  Film it and watch it and you will learn many things. Trust me.

then why when im flying a b17,a p51 can give me a 2 second burst in the wing root(where i shot the other guy last night)and i go down.soo inconsistant.at least 2 of the 8 second burst had to have hit in the same spot.

Simple.

the only thing that can be considered to be "Bull Scatalogy" is your story of being caught by a Corsair doing 550mph from over 4,000 yards out and catching you.  Do you have a film to post of it?  I'm sure you'll reply that you 1) didn't film it 2) reformated your hard drive and lost it or 3) you accidentatly deleted it.

Anyway, a Corsair could only hope to achieve 550mph in a full power dive but most likely not without damge to its flight control surfaces and probably some other types of structural damage from overspeeding.  That's what would have happened in "real life"

Wow, I didn't catch your last line until now and I have to say that you sure topped yourself with that one.  A Hurricane catching a P-47N?  The only way that could have happened is if the Hurricane had an overwhelming energy advantage due to having the altitude advantage and dove on you for the bounce or you were a lot faster than you thought you were and grossly over estimated the Hurricane's speed.

Now that I've read both of your posts with your examples of how the game is "B.S", I've come to the conclusion that the problem isn't with the game but rather the pilot (you).  It is clear that you do not have a clear understanding of the planes that you fly in this game, nor a clear understanding of how to read relative energy states of both your plane or the bandit's plane.  There are probably dozens and dozens of other things that can be added up to show that the fault lies with your own lack of skill but the most glaring ones that caused your rant are due to you just having no clue about the airplanes, a clear lack of how to estimate relative energy states.

Of course, it's far easier to blame the game for your own lack of skill than to admit you just suck.  Reminds me of Schlowy4 and his constant rant about how porked all the Luftwaffe planes are in the game when the problem stems from his lack of skill and not any incorrect modeling of the Luftwaffe planes.

no,ive got it filmed.but i get a window that sais "windows does not recognize this..yada yada..it sais i can either get web help or choose a program to view it.windows media player cant play it i guess.there for.i cant do it

     So far no one has held a gun to my head and MADE me play AH.

So I don't need this gun to Rino head anymore.

Well no gun, but I do have this lovely knife:



Mind PM'ing me your address?

[MaSonZ]

Uber lack of SA...and mis reading E...and mis reading his instruments...and burning to much E to fast..and bad gunnery...and no convergence. how long ca nthe list be? wow...

[ink]

lol so I guess the 262 I killed while I was in a Zero is just so not realistic......or the 262 I killed while in a hurri?

it all comes down to experience, you have none.....you think in very basic terms IE 262 is the fastest plane there is so nothing can catch it.....or the Hurri is one of the slowest so it cannot catch my uber F4U.....it all comes down to ENERGY as many have said, you may think you know the energy of another plane but until you truly understand this concept, you will think something is screwy, as I can see that this is how you think, it must be the game, it cannot be me........ive been here since tour 52 and straight up.....there is very few things "wrong" with it.  it has an outstanding flight model and NO plane is overly "wrong"  no not even the "Brew"

I can't ever remember a player admitting to so many deficiencies in understanding and skills in one thread than this one.  Wow.  Just wow.  Of course for everything he doesn't understand and every skill he lacks it's HT's fault.

Something to ponder: The last B-17 I killed with a P-51 died while I had just two bullets in two guns. In your example you stated a two second burst! With that much ammo I could and have killed all three B-17s. By the same token I have killed P-51s trying to do the same thing to me.

Drediock is right... its a matter of experience.

my experience with the f4u,diving about 5k only gets me up to 500 for a short period of time.only planes that ever cought a 262 were p51's.on accasion and that dove on them.not in level flight.

Probably because the Japanese didn't have 262s for the NAVY to catch with their corsairs.
