The Inequity of it all

[Tyrannis]

Clearly, you are doing something wrong then http://www.gonzoville.com/ahcharts/index.php?p1=p51d&p2=spit16

I wish you luck, I can only speak facts so long before I realize it's time to bow out.    

BTW, the DA is for dueling, furball lake is for people who want the fight, but don't want it to count.  Oh, enjoy 5th grade, I remember it to be fun.

I'm 

You can show me a bunch of charts all you want scca, but when i have spit16's outrunning my pony what does your charts prove? that the spit16 cant do that?

guess what buddy, they do 

Going by the charts to judge what a plane is capable of is like going by someones score to determine how good they are at the game

*edit*
never mind it's just not worth it.

You're either trolling or really quite bad at this game.  I'd like to believe it's the former, but I fear it's probably the latter.

...So what you're saying is, you're flying your P51 (which is capable of greater speed than the spixteen) slower than the Spits can fly, and getting angry when they catch you?

Wow.

Omg, lol. 

[Scca]

You can show me a bunch of charts all you want scca, because proof isn't enough because I am not going to listen to reason or the facts?

Going by the charts to judge what a plane is capable of is like saying I don't know how to play this game because we all know I know everything

i choose not to fly the spit, took those training wheels off along time ago.

While I admire your determination not to fly a spit... please do consider putting training wheels on whatever it is you *do* fly.

But he flys the next most easy mode plane, the 51 and  when he can't out run a slower plane.   

Sorry, i'm done here.. <S> Cryannis, enjoy your pablum...

[SPKmes]

Threeup , Threeup, Threeup....what did you do.........
     oh it wasn't you  hahaha....

As somebody has suggested no guns in F3 mode...this would work fine as those who want to keep it are just admiring their plane and looking for some photo shots so they say....(why you can't use the film viewer is beyond me...you can get much better angles...)
I'm with you get rid of F3 mode in DA  if it is for training and posing purposes...what's wrong with the training arena?

[Shuffler]

So you'd ban a furball airplane from furball lake because it gets under your skin because too many people fly it in your opinion.  Still sounds like you want the game changed to make it easier for you.

So you lose all the 16s and they move into Spit VIIIs.  Would that be better?

I think he stated that he wants it banned because it out turns everything he is in.

See Rule #4

And ive never been able to outrun a spit16 in a pony, even with WEP on. so to that statement i give you a:  

I've outrun many a Spit XVI in the Mossie VI, and it is 10mph slower than the P-51D.

I did run a P-51D down the other night in my slower Mossie VI, but he kept weaving back and forth so he couldn't pull away.

Was that you?

no. I only fly the pony whenever the squad does patrols now. ive been mostly flying the G-2 for perkies.

last night was a rough night. had 3 succesful me262 kills, 2 sorties scoring 3 kills each. third one i had 1 kill and was lucky enough to make it back to base.
sadly tho, on my 4th run i had my vertical stab shot off by a p47 who wasent even facing in my general direction at the time.
175perks down the drain for a reason that still makes me go: 

[dedalos]

Why would anyone worry about out-running anything?  You should be glad you can't out-run them.  If they can't catch you, you cannot kill them 

[Dead Man Flying]

But next time i got a spit16 barreling down on me, i'll make sure to PM him and tell him his spit isent capable of doing that. because the "charts" say so  

Imagine this, if you will.

A Ferrari sits at a stop light.  Behind him, an old beat-up Ford pickup truck comes barreling down the road at 60mph.  The light turns green as the truck arrives, and it blazes on through without ever stopping.  Sure, the Ferrari can accelerate to 60mph in mere seconds, but at this point the Ford is already hundreds of feet ahead before the Ferrari can match and exceed its speed.  Ultimately, the Ferrari will pass the Ford, but it's not an instant thing - even if he is going significantly faster.

See where I'm going here?  

If you're flying level in a P-51, and a Spit XVI dives down on you, he's going to be a lot faster than you.  Your plane's top speed might be greater, but at that moment your speed relative to his is lower.  It's going to take time to match his speed by trying to dive away, and then it's going to take more time still for you to pull away once you exceed his speed.  During all of that, you're vulnerable.
