I’v never tuned to 200. The only person that ever gets squelched by me in all my years is gldnbb. Otherwise Rook country chat is pretty chill place. Many several problems could be solved by not yapping in the internet but humans gotta human.

200 is a sad form of entertainment for me.

Probably all country channels are chill. The flames are thrown over the fences.

Even 200 isn’t as bad as a yr ago. Most of it is friendly jarring. A lot have flown in events together and meshed just fine.

There is some kind of funk between GVers. Every death is a cheat.
Even tho some pileits do it too, but not as bad.

I wonders if GVers use  “Cheat” macro like pilots use “Check 6” button.

They thought the days of gun fights were over. That's why the first F-4 Phantom IIs had none. They were wrong. When I'm too close for missiles I switch to guns.  ;)

I get it. You are the self-appointed and sole defender of Aces High. Except when you're threatening to quit when others don't play the way you want.

You are the most disrespectful person on this forum. Yet I don't report you. Are you like this in the game too? Or real life?

Oh noos! I just got my first "squadon vehicle" It's an early model A4E with 2 sidewinders so now I officially have a missle slinger! I haven't crewed it yet or got any mods so I won't be able to carry any ords until I get some mods.

I was slacking with joining a squad so it took me a while to get my first squad vehicle. It looks like it has rwr and flares so we'll see how it goes. I'm sure it's going to take some getting used to.

I think you have to lag pursuit as much as possible then you get a shot.

If I fly lag long enough eventually I get a decent shot.  Some ACE have forgotten the name of said close, close, closer and then get closer still.

I think Hartman took it a little too far. I've read his plane was damaged mutiple times by parts he shot off of other planes lolz

DCS did not "do it" for me as a prophead. the wwII planeset diversity WB, AH and IL2 have will never even be close in DCS.

The reason I lurk here is I'm hoping for a AWACS free AH arenas so I can restart but before that happens, I won't.

It's the same reason realistic flying in WT is so cartoonish - I can not fly in there - where you can view things outside of your plane, and even magnify like you use binoculars in a dogfight.

My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

Wow. I'm really shocked at the amount of disinformation there is about WT. It seems most people think that WT only has arcade mode. In Simulator battles you can not see outside of your plane, you must engine manage temps etc, there is no auto trim. There are no icons util you are within like 800k of the target and the magnification is the same as zoom in AH3. IL2 GB and WT feel very close to each other in simbattles.

Do you feel like most of the planes fly very similarly? Like they are all built off the model. I only tried it for like 2 hours but everything just felt like it flew the same to me.

I completely agree with this in Arcade battles. I have only flown arcade battles a little bit and I would agree that it felt to me like it was the same plane with the stall speed, top speed and the turn rate adjusted for the skin of the model that was on it. You start in the air here and have multiple lives.

In realistic battles (the one I fly most often because I can get in, fight a battle and be out in 30 minutes) The flight models start to really change. If you pull hard on some planes and release the stick the nose will continue to rise while others will snap back to the velocity vector. Snap rolls and spin recovery start to be challenging on some models while still very easy on other models. You start on the ground and this is a one life event. This mode also has icons and autotrim.

Sim battles is a whole nother animal. I really like SB but it's more like a mini scenero and the fight can go on for on for hours. (Enduring Confrontation) You can get some aircraft into spins that are not recoverable. The early model F4Us for example will go into unrecoverable spins at low speed with high AOA where as the BF109 seems to be very easy to spin and recover from a spin at will. You start on the ground and this is a one life event. There are no icons or autotrim here.
