I don't think you will be able to find one reference for it. I could not, or it would be here already
I can't even swear that I read this, though I thought I did. Someone mentioned that Bong switched p38 engine in fight just resently, you can search forums and ask this person for a source.
I have seen it quite often recently.We fly the different games probably. I saw it couple times in last 6 month.
What is most ironic, that this thread actually will increase the behaviour it fights against, not decrease it. Many people will try this "silver bullet", thinking it will give them a real advantage in fight. They soon will realize, that they keep dieing as often as before though, if not more often, so it will calm down shortly.
Certain aspects of AH are more 'gamey' than others for good reason, but this goes right to the ACM heart of the game which should emphasize realistic tactics.95% of AH pilots flying with auto trim switched on (more or less, but around it). Auto trim is arcadish, and not realistic, because you can't manage the trims the way computer do (you can better, or you can worse, but the reason why it was added is because people who can do it better are few). You think something like turning engine off in fight by 0.1%(more or less, but around it) of player is more threat to the "heart of ACM"?
Again, I am fullheartly for a realistic engine management, though lot more things are higher in my list, like better dammage model. (You know that you can sink CV in AH by .303s only?) I also want the ballance between realism and game to be here, or it can be no fun eventually. I do not want to push 7 buttons to start la7 wep, as it was in a real life.
This subjects could be more effective, if put with good arguments to the gameplay forum. It worked before. In contrast going to general not often helps. The more pushy you try to do it, the less are chances HTC will do it. They are people also, as all of us they do not like to be pushed.
