Simple request to HTC

This wasn't for LW planes specifically.

[AKS\/\/ulfe]

Obviously..

"Will you look into the 190a5's modeling or the ta152s modeling? (are the plans for changes to any 190s?)"

(Yes, it was only about LW planes)

[moot]

No, it means it was about whichever planes the particular user flies, not Lwhine theory again.

[AKS\/\/ulfe]

It's quite evident the reason this thread was started.

Planes that were not of the LW denomination were not part of the reason for this thread.

You can try and twist it, but it's clear as day in the first post of this thread.

I permit myself to take out my keyboard to type my miscontentment:
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHH"
Voila, c'est tout. T'as rien compris comme d'habitude. ad nauseum quiproquo of internet bulletin board alter egos.

[Angus]

I think I am starting to comprehend the word "Luftwhiner".
hmm. Interesting.

As far as I know, that is matter of Pyro. And take note, some of us are older than 10 years old. LOL, we are able to crah an entire formation of 12 Lancasters just to take off ASAP with goons and jabos against enemy bases, but we cant drop launch tubes because realism concerns ... ... well, yersterday a lot of lancs were crashed, and three bases were conquered by rooks just crashing planes and taking off with jabos and goons. Surely 10 Lancs are cheaper than some pairs of launch tubes.

[AKS\/\/ulfe]

Sometimes don't act older than 10 years old....

Pyro... HiTech.. doesn't matter, they both have a lot of stuff they have to get done to satisfy more people than solely the LW contingent.

What's the reliability rate for jettisoning the launch tubes? I don't imagine you'd be too happy be able to jettison your launch tubes, when one stays on and creates helluva lot more drag on one wing and you can barely make a coordinated turn...

And geezus... they are launch tubes, the Wgr21s are pretty much useless, only 2 and they only go so far.

A squadie of mine swears to that also. I havn't tried it much lately as carrying the tubes after launch seems...unclean:)

Regarding the tubes...I don't see much difference in between them and bombs/drop tanks.

Any fighter saddled with bombs or drop tanks will drop them when engaged with enemy fighters. That goes for the game as well as for real life. Allied rockets as well get jettisoned during a fighter/fighter engagement. The only difference between Allied rockets and LW rockets is that the LW rockets tubes were designed to be jettisonable where as the Allied rocket rails were not.

I fail to see the logic.

btw HT, did ya look at that damage model on the B26 yet

How about that extra manifold pressure needle on engine 2 for the Bf110?

I know...I'll be quite now:p

[OntosMk1]

Squeek?  .....

I don't squeek.  I tend to chirp maybe even bleep.....but im sure i dont squeek.


  Hrmmm...lets see, positive things about LW planes....

The 109 series of A/C in game are absolutly wonderful to fly. Each having its own unique personality traits.

The 190 Series: 190A-5= cannons with wings strapped on.
                          190A-8= Bigger Cannons with wings strapped on
                          190F-8= Cannons with wings and now BOMBs
                          190D-9= Luv at first sight. Mustang/La-7 killer

The Ta-152: Awesome...absolutly AWESOME....wonderful to fly.  Big cannons and wonderful performance and doesnt drop like a rock when engine goes kapoot and one more thing
Zoom Zoom....

The 110 series: Aint nothing better to kill things with...Bombers go poof and ground objects go boom when they're around  

Ar-234: Zoom zoom...BOOM BANG dar dead troops porked...zoom...RTB

Ju-88s :    it can do anything allies can do but better and faster.
             Need a ship sunk? No problem. Need a field hit? No problem.  How about some dive bombing? Can do says the Junkers

Me-262: Two turbines, and 4x30mm guns all traveling at 400+ mph.   Zoooooom Zoooooooom;)

when we get the Me-163...heheheh all i got say is, UP UP AND AWAAYYYYY!!!!!

If we get the Stuka...all you'll hear is the sirens of doom diving from above to drop happy eggs on you. Or the slow methodical Boom boom boom of two 37mm guns hammering at your armour.
Cant wait...this game keeps getting better and better, Thanks HTC

Try this, takes up a fighter (109 works best) with the wg21, get some speed, then brake and you plane should start to nose over

fire your rockets

I remember watchign as 50+ users left FA 2.5 because of the way the luftwaffe rides were modeled.  It wasn't fixed until the very last patch, but many left and went on to other online sims.  AH WW2online and such.  I watched as whole LW squds vanished from there.  Data was shown and proven, it has been shown here, and I am not saying things won't be fixed.  BUt a nice response of we are looking into it would suffice.  

Things that should be addressed.

21 cm rockets explode on impact, and tubes jettisonable.
FW190 F8 loadout options.  I am sorry but 4 50kg bombs are not reason enough to drop its perk value to 25.  When a fully loaded A8 which is better in every respect and higher eny value.
MW-50/Gm-1 switch.  This would just kick ass.  Oh and please dont forget to include the performance that it gave.  (Please see Ta-152 for this)

[Urchin]

AG... the 21 cm rockets DO explode on impact.  I'll have to grab 4-5 of you guys and bring you to the DA to try em out.  

While I would like the tubes to be jettisonable, I'll accept Hitechs reason that they can't be because of gameplay reasons.  After all, what would be the negative effect of taking the rockets if you could just fire the rockets and jettison the tubes?  There wouldn't be one.  If you take ordinance in any other plane, the 'rails' or whatever are still modeled even after you get rid of the ordinance, so there is a penalty for taking rockets and bombs even if you jettison the ordinance early.  By the way, you'll never know how hard it was to type this as drunk as I am, without any spelling errors.  I had to concentrate really really hard, and erase a lot of stuff and go back .
