CC Karnak, thats why I didnt like it at first. But the Torque man.. the torque! It was THERE. Now that someone said about landing and taking off the F4u.. I actually had to get TORQUE (the pilot) to show me how the fek to take off in that thing. I was ramming the hangars and flipping over all the time. And in dogfights.. you were more afraid of your own engine than of the con attacking you

I loved it.

Don't agree Karnak, I often held up a gang of 3 sometimes 4 B&Z in the spit 5, simply making hard turns, easier now, yes, impossible back then? No, harder yes.

if someone was above you in any plane you were dead if he was a decent pilot. Everyone knwe this and the whole game was simply everyone keeping their distance till they could get an advantage. It was a LW pilots dream and every bit as phony as Hans-Joachim Marseille's kill record.

I seem to remember hitting con's at D2.0 or so in B17 pre 1.04,i'm glad this is no longer the case

Wilbus · « **Reply #36 on:** March 02, 2002, 07:46:06 PM »

Only hit them at 1.5 now

Hmm.. according to all these helpful info, current FMs seem more
reasonable, I guess.

But what interests me is the 'torque' part.

I think I also heard someone mentioning there was no combat trim then. Could it be the torque is less noticed because of existing combat trims?

I remember some dufus keep mentioning the torque forces were all wrong in this game, and I had to point it out that with combat trim turned off and all trims neutral, the planes are influenced by torque realistically. The guy obviously didn't see that his plane was in fact under automatic trim..

Could it be the case now?

ps) but still, after testing zooming vertically with N1K2s with combat trims off.. I say it's still too less of a torque

Kweassa the torque on the F4,as mentioned above was really nasty and cool

,there was no way you could throw the throttle around without getting some really serious feedback,i really enjoyed it,i wonder did it get changed when the carriers came out,or after that,i can't quite remember.
rgr wilbus,but only if they come dead 6 on me
Just my 2c (maybe that should be 7 cents,dern that exchange rate)

You should see 0.33 version takeoff torque !

With a bit of hunting on my part I could prolly find and send ya a copy of V1.04 so you could see for yourself.

I know I've got every version from beta up on CDrom, it's just a matter of hunting thru em all
