"You have landed successfully."

[muzik]

really......explain to my ignorant self how AH is a "flight simulator"  it's far from a simulator, it don't model engine damage due to overheating, it don't model all the intricacies of engine control.

just because YOU like to think of it as a "flight simulator" don't make it so....go play target ware....and then come back and explain to me the differences.....

AH is a COMBAT GAME using WW2 tools simple as that.

Just as you had trouble understanding the definition of "war" especially when the word was combined as "war game" when referring to AH, you also have trouble with the definition of the word simulation.

No simulation in the world models every possible intricacy, so who gave you the authority to determine where the line is drawn at what should be modeled in a simulation?

Go ahead, show me the definition of "flight simulator" that says modeling engine damage do to overheat is exclusive to any "real" flight simulator.

And I hate to repeat myself but if your delusion is correct, "I bet the Air Force is  over that revelation."

thats only one aspect of the modelling that AH does not do.. ..besides the owner himself you know the guy who made this GAME describes it as a game and not a simulator...and NOT a WW2 game, but a GAME using Ww2 tools.

for someone who is so smart your pretty ignorant.

And yet the AH homepage still says  "...a war rages..."

COMBAT       

[Guppy35]

It occurred to me that while on most occasions my landings are in small pieces, when I do return semi intact I tend to put the gear down.  Yet I know that if I up at a close to, or capped base, race into the fight, get shot to pieces but somehow still stay in the air, I'll belly land it every time just to not let some guy vulching the base get a vulch kill.  I like to imagine that I'm running screaming from the plane looking for a bomb crater to dive in under those circumstances. 

Seems like a reasonable reason to not put the gear down.  Maybe I should get points for not getting vulched and surviving?

[grizz441]

You dew.  It's called 1.25x landing bonus.  Part of that bonus should be reflective of the scrap metal you bring back to base though.  There shouldn't be as much bonus if you bring back a wingless upside down P38.   

[Guppy35]

I don't think this guy was worried about points.  Saw this picture years ago.  Only this week learned the name of the pilot.  Always amazed me to think he walked away.

Well if we only had one life in the game then I'd say yes surviving is the only bonus needed, but....

[icepac]

I'm pretty sure he was unhappy with everything else but the fact that he survived.

[grizz441]

I'm pretty sure he was unhappy with everything else but the fact that he survived.

 
And I assume he crash landed in US Occupied territory otherwise he'd have another reason to be very unhappy.

[icepac]

He really does look unhappy in that picture but I'll bet he looked a lot happier that evening having a drink with his buddies.

[Wiley]

Never seen that pic before.  Once the shock wears off, I'd expect him to be in a pretty good mood.

Corky-  That is not an example of proper landing procedure, just FYI.

COMBAT       

What took you so long? All I wanted to hear is you agree it is a war. (simulated of course, right buuuuuuuuuuddy?)

And of course it promotes combat, all the best wars do.

In the future, please don't use big words. I have to go look them up.

[B-17]

Wait, I'm confused... why would someone ditch on the runway if their undercarriage is undamaged? Does it look cool or something?

It's been explained already.  You are late to the party!
