Has nothing to do with what you fly, I was talking about luftwhining . And I know where Glasses is from, I also know his parents are from Spain, he told me once. Was just making a point that spanish players might be getting a bad reputation because of the behavior of a few, which wouldn't be fair .

Luftwhining?

and what about alliedwhining? You don't read the thread against Me 110 started by -ammo-? or the thread protesting for the Spit XIV quality? Here everybody cries, not only the fans of the LW planes or the spanish players and nobody doubts of their reputation.

Darkglam,

You might have noticed that those talking about the Spit XIV weren't saying it was wrong, simply that it wasn't worth 60 points.

As to the 110, well, as soon as the Mossie came out there were several people saying that it needed to be either nerfed or perked. That just happens the best free plane in each release, even if there is no realistic justification for it.

You are expecting for the senator MaCarthy.

That is true, although Lince and Zamo (the F4U fans and ex AirWarrior players) have told me many times that F4U is undermodeled at AH (poor climb-rate), but certainly they never write here.

Copy and Paste

"it is about the worst flying plane in aces high.
109s have better highspeed handing and better e retention" (Fester)

"Uhm, I don't need data to show that it's unstable.
Go fly it. 109G10 is by far a better gun platform... and it's got a 30mm cannon." (AKSwulfe)

110 AND Mossie are very easy kills for 95% of figthers of MA. Fortunately for 110 and Mossie drivers, the only "ACM" that use 75% of the players of the MA is the HO (90% in the case of Spits, Tiffis and N1k).

Karnak, I have curiosity about the Spit V tests stalls. I have read recently the great book "Wings of LW" and I believe that some of the allied tests were not very impartial(By example Ta 152 test without GM-1 and MW-50).

Based on what? AW's flight model?

Good job, you picked that one out like a white guy in the middle of the night.

Don't take bits of a post and then use them out of context. You read the rest of the thread, I was saying the SpitXIV was unstable compared to it's late war counterparts... that's why all late war uber planes should be perked.

So basically, that wasn't a whine.

how can it be a whine when you're just stating a fact? You didn't challenge the validity of the unstableness nor did you demand it be fixed. It's no different than saying "the c202 is undergunned compared to the Hurri IIc." I bet they'll say you're whining about not whining now, swulfe.

I flew the Bf-109F-2 last night for the first time and had no problems knocking down N1Kis and LaGGs, so long as I caught them when their backs were turned.

Samm · « **Reply #163 on:** June 05, 2002, 03:49:10 PM »

What's a LaGG ?

AKSWulfe · « **Reply #164 on:** June 05, 2002, 03:55:07 PM »

A LaGG is the earlier inline versions of the La series.

LaGG-1 and LaGG-3.

German pilots in the war still refered to La5s, La5FNs and La7s as LaGGs.
