I don't think you can make this one fun for me with the concept you're trying to do, so I won't offer any suggestions. ~~I'll wait for the next CT setup.~~

Do you mean that you fired all of your mg ammo so that you only had cannon left? Why?

You know that you can fire them separately, one button for cannon, one for mg... right?

OK, looks like i have to concede that the Hurri D is an unacceptable "fighter" at a fighter only base. Ill try to get on and change it tonight, replace it w/ something else.

On a different note, whats your opinion of the A20 as a matchup for the 110c?

I have to admit, I haven't liked this setup too much either, but last night was a hell of a lotta fun!!

Wasn't much that could have made it bad....even when Yeager tried sneaking in with a 262

Also, what the hell is the frieking 110 made of?? LOL I put probably almost 75% of my ammo load into Keya last night...I couldn't believe he was still flying.

Anyways, no matter how you toss it, the CT is and always will be better than the MA.

Weight. Every little bit helps in my mind and the 2 little mgs are just wasted space if I'm not de-acking a field.

(Ok, ok.. The real reason is that I normaly fly planes that have a better matched pair of weapon types and have mapped fire both to JS1 and fire the secondaries to JS2. I'm too lazy to unmap just to get the mg's out of the equation.)

Jarbo.

Don't know if you got on last night, but there was a lot of praise for your set-up. Many people liked it, don't let guys like me who posted whines about it get you down. All you CT Staffers are appreciated by all of us that fly here. Since the arena changes weekly all of us have set-ups we like or don't like. Don't take the critisism personal, especially from a guy like me who isnt doing the work.

After flying it for a little while, I too have to admit it wasnt that bad. Just some of the plane choices were a bit rough. I just dont think your gonna get guys upping from a boston only base to meet up with 109s at 30k. I think you should allow bostons hurri1s spit1s and planes of that ilk for all bases. I personally only tried the boston thing once. That was enough.

I enjoy the limited plane selection. Hey, simulated war is hell!

Lol, it really didn't bother me all that much. I just flew what I wanted to fly and ate the 15-20 minute time to target. Besides, a little flying time before the fight gives me that all important feeling of immersion more than an immediate furball as soon as I take off. I was surprised by those wildcats though... tough little suckers, and faster than I thought... had one stay with my Dora at 400 true long enough to cripple me, then he finished me off at his leisure. Duke, man, you should be banned from those f4f's, lol!

. Sure, it wasn't my favorite, but it's workable. And PTO will always be my favorite anyway, heheh!

hehe.......who me in a F4f??

Karnak · « **Reply #26 on:** August 07, 2002, 12:51:24 AM »

I didn't like BnZing an F4F in my Bf109E only to have a Tempest Mk V come screaming up my bellybutton from lower altitude, using sheer power to simply out zoom me. I tried to manuver, but with the better turning F4F there as well I just couldn't do anything to escape the Tempest.

Now, why is it set up so that 1940 aircraft have to fight against late 1944 aircraft? I doubt very much that a Tempest and a Bf109E-4 ever fought each other in WWII.

If this kind of "one aircraft to a base" setup is going to be persued, try to keep all the aircraft in the same time frame as well as squadrons of types at bases (personally I'd prefer a 1943 setup), but don't set it up so that 1940 stuff gets randomly squashed by Tempests and 262s.
