Wow, you Luffelewaffle boys sure do whine. Any thread that asks for any aircraft for any side inevitably ends up dominated by luffelwaffle babble about not have anything that is competitive. If I recall correctly the Bf-109G-10 is in fact a Bf-109K in all but name. That is a very late war plane. I would not count the C.202 or La-5FN as late war, better than anything the German flyers have. Yeesh, one of you is even whineing about a plane that isn't in the game and is not on any list to be added, the Spit XIV.

I think we all know that you guys REALLY want the Ta-152, Fw-190D-9, Bf-109K-4/6 and Me-262 by now. And yes we know that many of you think it should be the top priority. I'm sure Pyro and HiTech are also well aware of your opinions by now as well.

My request is this: Would it be possible to let others have a thread to advocate theri Aircraft? In this case Russian and Japanese.

Thanks

Danish, I didn't mean to be sharp, but the German plane flyers seem much more aggressive to me. Note what the 2nd post on this thread is about. It seems that most of the posters fly German aircraft by choice and their numbers sometimes conspire to drown us non-German plane flyers out. If you look at the playing card graphics, you'll find more German planes than any other, I've never even seen a Russian or British plane on one of those.

I pesonally would love to see the Fw 190D-9, but I think the Russian and Japanese plane flyers do have a more legitimate gripe. I would like to see the A6M5c Zero, J2M3 Raiden, YAK-3 and YAK-9 before I see the Fw 190D-9 or Spitfire MkXIV (and the XIV is my personal choice for a ride).

I flew 109G6/R6 in Tour2 almost exclusevly.
In the first day of Tour3 I tryed La-5FN.
Instantly I found out that I was not able to hit anything with deflection shots. Soon I understood I needed much more deflection angles to shot the enemy. I was embarrased.
MG-151 and SHVAK are known to be similar guns with similar ballistics. SHVAK was even slightly better. I switched back to Me-109 and checked that my gunnery was ok and that's something wrong with La-5 cannons.
I can only add that La-5 will be much better with 2 x MG-151 in this game.

leonid · « **Reply #27 on:** April 15, 2000, 07:14:00 AM »

aper, really? Hm, I've been flying La-5FN since beta, and my gunnery is never below 9% (right now 13%). But, maybe that is why I don't see a problem, because La-5FN is really all I've flown for 99% of my fighter sorties.

Maybe, I should fly G-6 for this remaining tour ...

You would be shocked leo, remember how much I have squeaked about those cannons? They spread more than any of the other cannons (that's INCLUDING wing mounted ones that should spread worse) although tighter from the "country mile" we had in beta. They are also SO SLOW. I fire the 190 cannon after the La5 and I swear I lead 2x as far as I need to compared to ShVAK.

Vermillion · « **Reply #29 on:** April 15, 2000, 08:37:00 AM »

Yeah Funked, Sorrow and Aper are dead on.

Every time I climb back into the La5 (was in one last night), I gotta do a serious readjustment on my shooting due to the ShVak Cannons.

I wish there was a way I could think of, to test them and check for bugs.
