*POOF*
« on: July 07, 2017, 10:28:42 AM »
Wow, things sure have changed with AHIII. No more Mid or Early War arenas? Well, at least I still know where to aim at 24s and can hit a target that's not maneuvering.  :D

Oh yeah, I'm kinda-sorta back and may occasionally appear in game again.

Did you see the Corsairs are now restricted to the newly created "UFO Arena", along with the Brewster, Spit XVI and Yak-3?   :D  :bolt:

I agree that spits and Yak3s for sure seem like they just climb and climb, maybe judging E is just harder..

The Yak-3's are beasts. Small, light, and a powerful engine. It's like a Mustang 5.0L engine strapped to a go-kart.  The only downside is that they lack ammo count. Usually only good for 3 kills. More if you're an ace shot.

If you're referring to the Spitfire, you must mean the clipped winged XVI or XIV - both should probably be perked  :rolleyes:...amazing rides  :aok  ... and their sheitfires...what do you expect?  A really good pilot chooses a Spit VIII for the MA (cough).  The XVI has great low-alt performance.

Besides, who doesn't love to get themselves a few kills of Spheitfiurs?

Anyways, isn't this the same MA before the early/mid/late war splits? No one really complained then... :P

Correct, but it was nice to have those options.

Not really a complaint, just an observation on how things have changed since the last time I flew.

Yknow, I've felt like the Brownings have been a bit anemic since I came back. Hosed a 47 the other night with a nice tight grouping in the wing. Last time I was playing he's have been down, but this time watched him fly away.

Make a nice video of all you guys raking planes with the 50s. I've been wanting to do this myself, but I'm not good at video stuff. It really irritates the hell out of me. I put close to 80-150 rounds in some planes and give them a gas leak or some crap. The only way these bullets work is if they are all streamlined in a leading shot, other than that it's just a waste of bullets to shoot them in any other position. You'd think the bullets would eventually do enough damage regardless of how many hit at one single time. Make a compilation of all you guys reaming planes and so that people can really see what you mean. I agree with you though.
