This game has ran its course

[flippz]

you should have followed the bishops when they were hording bases in the morning.  tell him that's what you do personally.

I haven’t really been on much in a few weeks semp. But thanks for playing along.

My friend, what is sad is that you continued to chase them for more than 10 seconds. Turn around, let them attack, catch them on the reversal and make your friend think you are not only awesome at work but also awesome in battles to the death. He will find a whole new respect for you and when the girls on the reception desk find out about your deeds....oh man..

They will not turn around. Tried it many times. Had there been more enemy’s in the area they may have but in CHASES HIGH there is no chance.  It again your statement is as valid as some one telling me to fly a horrible early war plane if I want to get fights. Why not just fight in the video game?   
I didn’t even want to go near the base with him watching as I knew there was a few wirbs there and that’s worse than chasing a running plane.

Again, you are missing the point. You took like the slowest plane in the game to an offensive fight. Why would someone in a BnZ plane 1v1 what he knows is a really great turn fighter only to die in the 1v1 fight in a turn fight?

If you are tired of runners. Get a temp, get some alt, and prey upon them. That's what I do. I still get like 25+ kills a night. So you should probably check your tactics rather than complain when you know you are in a slow great turning plane. The guys you are chasing don't know that a newb is behind the wheel.

Yeah. That’s all that’s in the arena these days. 190s 51s temps and Mary models. I can fly those but they are not a lot of fun to me. I would rather turn 200yds away in an intense spiral dual then fly two sectors to get the alt and still wind up chasing one to the deck anyways. Or sit on the edge of a fight and pick off players that get slow from fighting other guys.

I’ve only been on for a few years but I remember when a cv pulled up on a base it was a good twenty or thirty minute battle of all low slow turning planes. Now it’s rarely a flare up unless the cv group is able to take down the vh and all the hangers at a base.

I’m looking to see how the new game turns out. Hoping it would be more fighter based with no gv wirbs and town ack to run to.

You can still try turning in a 51. Especially when you do catch the other 51, 109d or 47m you hate so much. Except those planes are much harder to fly in a turnfight compared to a spit 16. Or fly a k4. Decent turner and also as fast as any of the other planes.

[JOACH1M]

The p51 can dominate 1v1 fighting. People just don’t know how to do it. A 51 easily plays with a 109g14 and K4 maneuverability wise.

[atlau]

Very few people can dominate in a 51 tho. Once slow it just cant accelerate like a k4 making it hard to survive in the MA.

slowing the 51 to much is from the ‘users’ lack of knowledge of using the plane. Never should the 51 get below 180mph when fighting a k4 under 12k

You can take it slower than 180 but it needs to be a down hill fight so momentum can help with acceleration

P51 can merge with anyplane co alt and win the 1v1 enough that people should at least try....and the best part is if you are starting to lose it's ability to exit the fight and reset is better than almost every ride.

Just learning the proper way of how to extend at the right moment to get enough separation to reset the fight/engagement is very important, no matter what aircraft one might be using

Exactly, players like Rocky and the "Musketeers" only used it to pick and run. Players like FESS, MARK4 used it to fight and win. New players use it because its one of the few planes they recognize in the drop down list.

[hazmatt]

Wouldn't a limited number of free to play planes get the numbers up?

I think even 1 fighter, one bomber, one tank etc would get more people playing and if they were able to build up perk points maybe that would lead them to subscribe later?

Pretty much all is available now.... for 2 weeks.

[Arlo]

Unfortunately, two weeks isn't close to the amount of time it takes the average player to learn how to get past his (or her) frustrations and enjoy the game. If a potential paying customer had access to a smaller plane set and stuck with it long enough to win a fight or two he (or she) might be more tempted to pay a monthly fee to experience the planes that offer more advantage (or merely appeal to their online persona).

When is the right time to extend in the P-40?
