Not sure why you have posted your kills so proudly, without your deaths no one can respect it with a straight face.

The best addition in a long time, and I think Ack Ack be smoking crack crack. 

Each TU-2 kill I have only took 1 burst of my guns on the P-38J to bring one down.  But then, it could be because I aim for certain areas instead of just spray and hope for the best.

So, i guess that if teamkill was possible, u'd be TKed with a smile ? :(


Silly comparison. Griefing friendlies is a completely different matter. For my $14.95 I get to do what I want with my ride.

Exacltly what a TK could answer : "i pay so i do what i want".
I'm not judging anyone, but my exemple just prove one thing : it's not because its possible to do ingame that it's good for the game.

Bailing from 3 undamaged bombers, instead of fighting like they should isnt a normal way of playing.
For those who do it once per day or less, it wont be a problem. For those who bail 30 times a day it will be !  :rock

Who are you to judge what is the "normal way of playing"?

HiTech once (in)famously said, and I paraphrase: "The point of this game is to ruin the other guy's day."

I'm not sure bailing from bombers is what he had in mind, but anyway. If this is a problem for you then go after the incoming bombers only... They rarely bail.

Once there was an online game that people took really seriously. That was a good thing, or maybe, given the context, understandable...

blah, blah, blah... insert body of story here.

...and, after being pelted with small chunks of metal, assorted detritus, and one very notable watermelon that appeared to have been soaked in human excrement, Tila vowed never to appear as an opening act for that band ever again.

-The End.

So, could someone please tell me how we got from a review of the Tupolev to arguments over bomber etiquette? Oh yeah, the perks thing. It seems like a separate topic. I call hijack.

When I tested it offline with little fuel on board, no bombs and it made me wonder and right away I started to check the weights. Everything I've read points to the fact that Tu-2 is ~1600lbs underweight. That is a lot for a WWII combat aircraft.

Maker, your source and data look pretty reputable. Perhaps Herr Addink could comment.... I know he aspires to fidelity. I wonder if he had a conflicting data source or conflicting info on the inclusions.

I think that's Pyro's department.

The weight difference suggests HTC may have subtracted crew weight instead of adding it. I'm just speculating, I don't know what data HTC has for empty weight.

Even at reduced weight, I very much prefer the A-20 should I have to deal with fighters....

On the other hand, the Tu-2S is extremely formidable attacking GVs, CV groups or any other ground target. You can fight in it, but an A-20 will eat it up in a 1v1 fight. Very poor roll rate, coupled with horrendous stiffening of controls means that the Tu-2S is at a very big disadvantage above 300 mph. My choice for killing stuff on the ground is the Tu-2, but if there are enemy fighters buzzing around, I take the A-20 instead.

Run that generous WEP and you are up to 6 to 8 K and then up to bomb speed very quickly. And you are there with an extremely effective bomb load. My fave is the 3 baddabooms but the 2 and 4 is a better all arounder. Those 3 2000 KG'ers can smash the heart of a town in one pass like nobodys business.

I speed bomb in  it. It might just be me but I could swear 3 can turn back into a base faster, and then settle for calibration faster, "faster" then speed bombing any other bomber set. A shallow dive gets you back to base quickly.

You get up quick, you get there quick, you hit hard quick, and you get back quick. Which means you can keep up pressure on your chosen target quick.

I Love this thing. :aok  :airplane:

I like it's overall performance and loadout much better than the Boston but I still prefer the glass-nosed Mossie to it for general air raiding.
