New C202 and C205 Models. NICE!

[Butcher]

Anyone know if there will be any armament changes to the C202/c205?

[coombz]

And I don't have track I.R. because I assume it's too prone to FAIL me when I'm in a pinch

An incorrect assumption you should consider giving it a try! I doubt you'll want to go back to using hat switches

Historic as possible yes. Exception: I like the speed and alt in Standard measurement system, NOT metric!
Everything is mph is just fine by me... others might like metric... sounds like an option chosen at start games login or choose arena screen.

Same here tho, no probs with views. F10 what YOU like.

HiTech's stated reason for not doing metric and imperial as a choice is that it hinders player cooperation when different people are referring to things in kilometers, meters, miles and feet.  Asked how high the bombers overhead are the responses 10,000/10k and 30,000/30k are substantially different and could cause differing tactical choice such as a scramble to 10,000ft to intercept the incoming low bombers only to find that they are at 30,000ft.

And here I thought I was a Dork Whopper with my Type-B picture show rant...............

At least I provided pictures to fight over...............

If experience shows anything, it'll be that the flaps will pitch you forward and drastically slower turn rate the more you throw down. ( As per the stuka and hurri)

The only difference that matters which I can see between the earlier AHII models and couple of the released later ones is that the newer models don't have the slip indicator on the gun sight. None of these planes had one there in real life AFAIK. It does give an advantage and IMO to be consistent it would be best to either delete it from all the fighters gun sights or include it for all.

How is that an advantage?  I never looked at that thing for any reason.  Most of the time I'm not even looking forward but checking SA.

Less energy is lost in an coordinated turn versus an uncoordinated turn and aircraft departs easier from uncoordinated flight. With a lot of experience the rudder inputs of course becomes second nature for many but that doesn't change the point I'm making.

Sounds complicated when im using just a twisty stick for rudder, its either full, half or nothing.

The armament will be the same as the old version, either 2 or 4 mgs in the C.202 and either 4 mgs or 2 mgs and 2 cannons in the C.205.

Unless I am mistaken, the C.205 in the live version of AH doesn't have a choice in armament, just two MGs and two cannon.

It does.  2 12.7MG's/2 CAN or 2 12.7/2 7.7MG's.

Interesting.  Thanks for the correction.

Well when I was skinning the new C.205 it originally only had the cannon option as well. I wasn't sure what the  current version had so I had a look at AH Wiki. This showed both options for the C.205, so I assumed that was already the case in-game.

I mentioned to HTC that the four mg version might be useful for Sicily and early Italian campaign scenarios and they later added it to the new C.205. I guess the lower weight should marginally improve performance but I can't see it being a popular choice in the MA somehow.....

For a challenge.  Has been a few times where I took the MG/MG option just for kicks.
