cant stand the game anymore
« on: March 25, 2011, 05:53:45 PM »
well ive come to the decision that i might quit AH.

mainly because i feel that it is not "realistic"on some aspects.

for instance,f4u cannot catch a 262 going 550.

i have many other reasons to go along with those but the list is to long.

so..im gonna play the game til the month ends.95% chance il cancel payment and at least take a break.

You realize, of course, that the single-most important factors here are- who's flying the 262, and how, and how good their SA is, right?

Who's driving the F4U, and how, factors in to some extent too, but nearly as much...

I'd love to see film, if you have it.

You'll have a much better experience in the game once you figure out how and why these "impossible" events are indeed possible, based on your SA and flying habits.

i dive on the hurri,hes at about 7k im at 15k.as i pull back up he closes to 400 yrds with me and shoots me once.
when i was in the 262 i was going to a friendly gv base,when i got there,there was 2 f4u's and a p47.both under me.i turned around and next thing i know...the f4u is within 200 yrds of me.gives me a 2 second burst and im down.6x50s are that effective?wow.cause last night in a p74m(8x50 cal)i emtpied 1/2 my ammo into a b17s wing and nothing happends.the only consistancy in the game i see is crap like that happening.

Do you understand the idea of "energy" and that each plane has a different "enery state" at any given time?

I can understand though, I had a Brewster catch up with my 262 the other night.  I mean, sure, I was parked on the runway, but a Brewster! Seriously!?  :headscratch:

While your out for a few month I recommend you study some physics, specifically on how airplanes fly.

So stop whining, and think why these things happen to you. I can think of more than one explanation to the scenario you wrote above.

film knows all, tells all.... including the cons you didn't even realize were there...
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.
