Maybe so Volron, sounds like it has its following too. But, the running away begrudging  comments are either becoming more noticeable (to me as I gain experience) or they are getting louder. I have said to myself as well when I see P-51's, is it worth it to engage them (I almost always fly something much slower.)

I suppose its been the same way forever, as I do recall Soda's writeups mentioning Runstangs and Run90s, maybe??

Fly a P-51 or a D9 yourself. Then they can't run away can they?

Or you can get good at overshoots and the quick snapshot in whatever turny bird you're flying while you complain about the P-51s and 190s running away from you. :D

Complaining about ppl avoiding combat in a combat air sim, the audacity, shame on me.
They're casting their bait over there, see?

Well maybe we should all fly slow turn fighters.
Or guys that fly energy fighters should try to turn with slow turners and die all the time.
I find more times then not im just getting speed to start a high yoyo or such, when some lame brain is complaining that im running,when in fact im just building "E" and  "living" ,which seems to make AH cry baby's sad.
I see more complaining two,i also see way more little boys that never grew up and learned how to loose with a little class, and learn some lessons.

 :salute
  (Edit) There are guys that just keep running to there ack and never turn, or don't turn till after your well out of icon range. But i find way to many players are ready to complain about pony's BnZ and using there speed to win rather then run.

What I was referring to are the score impressed or worse, their ego is attached to this game, so much so that they will only fight from advantage and run as far as they must if they lose advantage. I've seen numerous players that are willing to increase their skill by engaging in combat in non-turny birds.

I suppose players like Dazy and Debrody gained their skill in non-turny birds by engaging in combat, don't you? When I see a Rook P-51 turning with my turny-bird, I see it as prudent to assume it's Dazycutr.

I'm NOT talking about players that don't like being easy kills and thus egress to regain some E. I try to avoid being an easy kill too, but I'm not running away for sectors either, I/we can get new planes with just a click.

Plenty, hundreds, perhaps, of players here have the skill to stay and fight regardless of the plane; my proof: they've shot me down at a disadvantaged position and never ran away. I believe you have a few times too.

Way off topic now, I apologize for that, was just my .02 that another jet will just pick and run, I'm finished.

Again, fly the fastest plane you are allowed to fly and they won't be able to run will they? Problem solved :-)

Unless your "problem" is that when you get on the six of much worse turning planes they accelerate away instead of being easy kills  :devil

Honestly, I think you'd have less fun if all the energy fighters were well flown all the time, then you just basically get to be a target drone. I fly the Fm2 a lot, so I know where I speak on that.

 I'd like to see the meteor added only so we could have a "what if"!  Meteors escorting B29's with 262's 152's and 163's defending!  Maybe throw an A8 or 2 in just cuz I know Stampf would take it up!!!! :devil

While the Meteo meets the inclusion requirements as far as I'm concerned, in my opinion it is the absoulute last plane that should be added. The Meteor had so little an impact on the war that every single other aircraft that participated in WW2 is worthy of inclusion befire it.

  May I ask what the inclussion requirements are?   The only thing I've ever seen was no 1 off's or prototypes.

I would hardly call shooting down unmanned rockets as "combat"  therefor the aircraft should not be added

Tell that to the pilots that were risking their lives shooting these things down from inside the blast radius :old:
