i'm not going to read all 4 pages-so i'll just say this-> turn you're head  around often-watch the radar, is con's within 3 k of you-*and don't fly strait for more than 30 seconds. no ones fought but your own.

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure WWI pilots would turn off their engine when diving on an enemy. Galand said that when closed cockpits became a thing most fighter pilots didn't like the idea of a closed cockpit because for one thing you couldn't smell the enemy planes.

WW1 pilots had to avoid over speeding the propeller in a dive. This is modeled in AH if you turn the engine governor off. If you had a rotary engine turning the engine off and on for throttle control was normal.

This also affects the Storch since it has a fixed pitch propeller.

Seriously...is this really an issue??? Keep your clipboard up on screen so you can see an incoming plane icon due to proximity dar. Use your situational awareness in general. I'll be the first to admit I get pissed when I get jumped, but it's not due to lack of hearing the sound of the aircraft.

While it may be poor sportsmanship to use this tactic it's how players game the game. No different than certain GV'ers that have their sounds tweaked, turn down graphics, use gamma, etc etc.

You wanna fix something - get rid of the GVDar and the proximity radar for planes to start. Those 2 things alone killed off missions, lost players to the game and has far more of an effect.

That was my first thought when reading this thread. Who needs to listen or even look around for enemy cons when you have the new AH tailwarning radar?  :old:

The turning off engine while diving in on someone’s tail (so there is no audio cue of any plane near you) is extremely gamey and broken. I can think of a few way to potentially fix this idea.

1. Somewhere code in the enemy engine sound file still plays while their aircraft is flying over an “x” amount of airspeed.

2. Make it so engine shutdown and start up become extremely longer making less of an option that people will want to use.
Get better SA.
Its been a thing since I joined AH back in AH 1 days.
I loved to hear someone turn off their engine or see one diving in on me without it on. That means they're bleeding E like a sieve. Then you E fight them. Win every time.

Pleasent surprise seeing your name on the reply... Hope all is well.

the people diving in with engine off manage to still have more E from their dive than I still would have after avoiding their first attack. :/

The secret is to feather your prop on the way down.  Or so I'm told...  :bolt:
