The point is not for me to do your research for you, you dolt.

The point is stop relying on other, more intelligent beings and check your own research.

What you're doing now is finding the first available link and calling it a trustworthy and accurate source
with total disregard to many other sources which, I'm sure, have a plethora of different information at
hand.

Then again, you will simply roll your little beady twelve year old eyes at me, say 'whatever, you're just
a poopyhead', and ignore (ONCE AGAIN) the advice and facts of others.

Humanity, I am disappointed.

I posted a link, which i feel is accurate on the subject.

YOU are the one challenging the accuracy of the link i have presented.

it is YOUR job to provide evidence that the link i have posted is indeed inaccurate as you claim. meaning its time for YOU to do the research yourself, and find out if what i say is wrong, or right.

You are far from intelligent joe, lets not kid ourselves otherwise. If anyone here is acting "as a 12 year old" its yourself.

Now, shut up, dry your tears, get to work on proving my link right/wrong. or get out. because all you do is mouth-off in every post you make with the same slop over and over.

There is no advice worth taking from someone as self-centered as you  :rolleyes:

Prove that the source is reliable before talking smack.

I've seen a P-38 listed on a BOEING.GOV  or some such website listed at 20,000 feet per second climb.
Point being, you're an idiot. Go do some actual research.

You use some ASTRONOMY.COM as if it were a 100% factual source.
Why not try looking for a GSUIT.ORG instead?

Oh, nevermind. I forget, you're completely oblivious to facts. Keep trusting in the stars my friend, I'm
sure it'll get you somewhere, some day... riiight.

british command would send spitfires to the atlantic to look for and shoot down any lancaster that would just loiter off the coast when they were supposed to be bombing germany.

GFShill,

Spitfire and P-51 pilots in AH black out at the same G load.  All pilots in AH black out at the same G load.  Aircraft that can turn tighter are able to pull the Gs to black out at lower speeds so it may seem that Spitfire and Zero pilots black out easier, but they don't, they just pull more Gs.

No G-suits in WWII Im afraid Tyrannis, plus the P-51 was faster, making it more demanding on the pilot.

Actually, towards the end of the war, we were testing G-suits.  Read Bud Anderson's book, he wore a G-suit at the end of the war.  At first I believe he wore a Franks Mark II suit with water bladders and then switched to the Berger suit with air bladders when the USAAF started to test them in the fall of 1944.  

The RAF used the Franks Mark I suit, though I don't know the differences between the Mark I and the Mark II or why the Canadians were issued the Mark II instead of the Mark I with the rest of the RAF.

That's my goal.  I'm calling out the gaminess in the hopes that changes can be made to game-play to make it less FPS and more strategy and teamwork.

"calling out the gaminess" in a GAME?  :rolleyes: Yes it is a game, and not a war/simulation, so there are some concessions made to "playability" Changing how a player plays the game isn't sometime HTC seems to want to do, as long as the subscriptions keep climbing they are ok with how its played.

because he is a loudmouth braggart who doesn't know when he should shut up. He doesn't understand the phrase "children should be seen, not heard" and so continually puts his foot in his mouth. Then we get to read all of the excuses that he can make up to extract said foot.

:huh
so, i posted a friendly, non argutive post about the G-suit..
the link i post gets challenged by someone who drags this topic down into an argument, and your going to call ME the child?
You can shove it fugi  :aok funny thing is, Ack Ack repeats what the site i posted says.

ack-ack
Franks Mark I suits were used by RAF Hurricane and Spitfire pilots;
Franks Mark II suits were used by the United States Army Air Force and Royal Canadian Air Force pilots. U.S. pilots tested them during 1944, but found the water system uncomfortable and were issued an air-inflatable design known as Berger suits from September 1944.


So, if we are to take Ack's word on it, then my source is accurate, and Joe was wrong all along.
Your ego tho fugi, i love it. :aok Its so cute.  :rofl

If someone is grading then asking Tyrannis to cite another source is OK. Since this isn't school but a chat board Eskimo Joe should provide better information or let it stand. It would seem there is a history here that would explain the rapid agression and insults.
