La-7's correct critical altitude and general flight modeling

[bustr]

Are any of you leaving open the possibility that HTC has to revisit the Russian plane set to expand the offering as a course of doing business and keeping the doors open if they want to stay competitive?

I've always wondered what would happen to this game, if over night HTC magically rolled out every possible ride for WW2 in one day. Now what? How long before subscribers get bored? Yes, there would then be ample time for improving the overall eye candy and upgrade FPS functionality. But, what would you fight over and dream about like this post show cases? WW2 has been over for 70 years and the technology is pretty much finite and known.

I have to believe that charging us a monthly subscription means HTC is vested in ongoing releasing of new historic toys which means your unfulfilled wishes so far. Even if it's at their capricious discretion. Or we would be WoT with the base package free while being inundated with sales pitches and imagery to spend money for the primo rides and toys.

Could you imagine squad memberships being determined by your pocketbook if they happened to like flying only 262 for historical reasons?

Aren't we gonna eat crow when the next release has updated art work for the Yak and a sweet Li'll Yak3 to start posts over because it's too "everything" and weenies are using it to grief the arena? Piu, Piu, Piu tovarich.......

Hey Bustr, good timing!

What dates did M/N jugs, Ponys, Tempests and Spit XIVs start using higher octane than is modeled by AH?  I don't think Karnak has connected some dots in my earlier posts yet.

Nonsence here is that one industry an it's quality of impact on the war and its aircraft is ignored while another is recognised and dramaticly impacting to a wide swath of aircraft in this game.

Whereas most others are limited/retarded in either octane or at some specific production date or time in the war (octane ratins, armament options, "field kits").

You keep claiming that, but you have yet to supply any evidence to support it.  None.  Nada.  Zip.  Zilch.

Name a some aircraft in AH that is less than a pristine aircraft.  The La-7 is nothing different.  It performs to spec on the fuel the Russians were using.  As does the Ki-84.  As do the six aircraft I mentioned that, in some cases, used 150 octane for when they are using 100 octane.  Do you really want a Spitfire Mk XVI and a P-51D on 150 octane in the game?  Have you seen those performance charts? A friggin' Mosquito Mk VI on 150 octane can out run the P-51D on 100 octane at low altitudes.  Imagine a P-51D that does almost 400mph on the deck and a Spitfire Mk XVI that climbs at nearly 6,000fpm.

I'd really like to see that... With a perk price attached of course.

We don't even have the La-5 original for example, we have the La-5FN that was as far as I can figure out an early La-7 mixed with an abundent excess of La-5 wings.

La-5FN is the autumn/late 1943 update to the La-5F, production halted somewhere in autumn 1944.

Small perk price and attach availability of 150 octane to the strats.  150 octane would be the first thing to go when fuel is attacked.

brilliant idea!!!!!
Someone should make a wish!!!!(And maybe the Mjug will turn into a J model )

btw, did the 4hog ever use 150 octane???

They can have 450 octane fuel, if I get my figher version A8
