Just a few observations and questions:
Questions:
1. Since when have there been BUFFS in WWII flight sims? I have yet to see any.
2. When did the A-10 come into AH....I thought this was supposed to be a WWII flight sim.
3. What the heck is nerfed?
4. Whats up with all the Dweeb stuff?
5. Do you guys really know what your talking about?
6. The F4U Corsair was know as the Ensign Eliminator, yet it has been quoted here as being a newbie aircraft. How does this wash and come clean?
7. What aircraft was know as Whistling Death?
8. Does anyone know the difference between a MG and a Cannon?
9. Scorepotato?
10.Quakehog: What is this animal, and why should it be dumped?
Observations.
1.WEP is War Emergency Power not a 10 minute Turbo out of a Battlestar Galactica Viper.
2. Using an aircraft to its full potential while avoiding its weaknesses is not Dweebdom. However squeaking because you have to think about how to kill it is.
3. Learnin how to fly 1 aircraft to that potential isn't dweebdom, it's realistic. Ask any USMC Corsair pilot from WWII how many hours he has in Zeros or 109's and then call him a dweeb when he says zero. I dare ya.
4.think about this......To illistrate a major irritating point for me, the following:
It is a point that came up in an armored simulation not so long ago.But the general attitude seems to fit across all spectrum of the sim world. And certainly applies to the commentary on the Corsair on this forum...
Setting North Africa Spring 1942. You are in a Newly formed US Armord Brigade sent over to help the British defeat Rommel and his Panzers. Applying some peoples logic to a conversaion between an M4, M3 Lee M5A1 tank Platoon and General Patton this is what you would have.
American Tankers Cry to Commanding Generals that the New German Tiger tanks are too hard to kill, due to their superiour armor and main gun.
For crying out loud. What the hell is this? Tell em, The American tankers

Now reverse it, the Chessmen are upset at the other Chessmen for flying a plane that they have to work to defeat.
5. this is the whiniest and most historically clueless forum the collective being known as Whistling Death has ever seen in years of experience.
6. Now you know why the collective being known as Whistling Death will never be a part of AH.
7. You complain about things not being historically accrurate yet use absolutely no historically accurate terms or language in your discussions or FM's in your aircraft.
8. Any givin aircraft has a set flight model, therefore all aircraft of the same type and configuration in any sim IS NOT MODELED correctly unless THEY ALL fly exactly like the real one IN EVERY SIM!!!
Flying bombers at High Altitude is stupid? No...squeaking because you have to work harder to get to that alt for a kill is.
There is no such thing as Explotation in a sim such as this. Due to the fact that it is NOT inherently based in Historical fact. Therefore it must follow the only rule of war, that there are no rules, do what you have to do to survive and win.
Comon...really this is pathetic.......
