My Pony is faster than yours.......because mine has a rudder
« on: April 13, 2022, 10:12:36 PM »
Here's an unremarkable fight that generated a lot of noise and finger-pointing afterward.
TLDW:
01:00- merge. Bishop P-51 scores a few hits on Knight P-51.
02:00 - bishop P-51 loses a main gear to .50cal fire
02:02 - bishop P-51 loses rudder to .50cal fire
02:05 - bishop P-51 dives to deck with knight P-51 in pursuit
Rudderless bishop P-51 attempts egress on deck but is soon 10-15mph slower than undamaged pursuing knight P-51.
04:00 - Knight P-51 catches damaged bishop P-51. Endgame ensues.

Record your fights and watch what actually happened before you start flinging poo.

Are you nuts? You mean do some work instead of ego re-enforcement through self-delusion? It's their $15 you know  :rofl

Definite Cheating.

P-51 without rudder is lighter, therefor should be faster.

Battle damage creates more drag which makes you significantly slower than what the weight reductions would give you.

Pretty sure, Sandfordpaul's comment was Tongue In Cheek?    It sure does seem like he Speaks Truth!  We have all been there!  I know..its Lag Related...but seems so REAL!  Just another Suckage Excuse, it seems?  :rofl   For me...Auto-Wingman initiated...and Wingman runs off and leaves me?!!! Lag Monster is real, fellers!  :rofl

Additional speed didn't help him in the earlier stages of the fight when he had it. What a maroon  :rofl
