Sorry to see ya go zyg.
For those of u thinking spit is a poor diver, stop the blah blah blah, go offline with a stopwatch and test it against whatever you want. Check initial acceleration in the dive, the control at 400 and more mph and stop telling us this is a slow plane. This plane is simply one of the fastest divers and one of the fastest vertical zoomers.  Now pick up any kind of spit and climb to hi alt, check max speed and tell me how many planes are faster. Is it wrong modeled? Dont know, but its performance is a fact.... If you say most of the spits are badly flown by newbies you'll be 100% right, if you say the spit is a poor plane you are simple blinded. Even more (and you will think I'm nuts), IMO, our spitV is better plane than SpitIX.

The main problem with the planes you listed, IMO, is not their performances but their numbers in the arena. Almost 1 of every four planes in the MA is a Spit (IX or V).
In any case Zyg, AH is still far away from being an arcadish sim.

Of course, I'll be cursed by these comments just because I dont fly allied planes regulary.

I realize I'm a moron, but that aside. Not to distract from what your saying ... but to me it's like this.

Basicly any person who has a specific advantage with a certain plane is a mute arguement. Because anyone could use these same planes.

Maybe I'm just simple (steady out there!) but it really wouldn't matter to me if they strapped us all to geese and gave us water balloons. We all have the same advantage or disadvantage depending on the planes we pick. Since this basicly levels the field, then it comes down to skill. Isn't that what it's really all about? Matching ones skill with another?

No flight sim is ever going to be "real". I certainly don't want to see real guns attached to my monitor that's going to blast me up when I get shot. So from that point on it's just a matter of trade off between realism, fun, playabilty, etc. It would seem impossible for any online game to eliminate all the variables. Hate to see anyone leave, hope you find something better or reconsider :) Just some thoughts ... LP

Know a lot of 'typical' Aussies Seeker? If you do, and you say that kind of thing around them, you are a far braver man than most, I salute you, you must be one hard bastard.
Or your a Kiwi ;)

I know a LOT of 'typical' Australians, and not a one of them would let a remark generalising our entire country's population as quitters go by unchallenged, and nor will I.

Beer swilling , obnoxious, loud bastards we may be, but quitters?...I think not, at least not typically, thats for sure.

guys, guys... Let's not get off track here!   Let's get back to the important issue of pyegotes pouty and humorous (for us) exit.  

I don't think you can lump all aussies together as a bunch of wussies turning in their firearms like meek little girls either!  or, ah, well..   maybe you CAN do that but.... well....  you know what I mean.

Super E-Spits... I hear about 'em. Never seen 'em. It's a mythical phenonema mostly concentrated within the LostWaffle group.

No No No, you got it all wrong. It's "N1K pilos ar studmuffins"

I have never heard anyone, other than in this  thread, seriously complain about spitfires.

Frankly, I don't understand Y the NIK, LA7, 190D, and 190G10 do not cost 5 or 10 perk points a piece. At least they would not be flown like "throw away planes" if they were.

Well, i just wanted to say what i see when reading these forums once in a while.

Pilots who fly luftwaffe planes, even if they have good arguments. Are regularly insulted and called luftwussies, luftwobbles...and so on. Is this some unconcious patriotism? I fly wb at russian FH, there is axis vs allies arena but no axis versus allies attitude among players . Damn they are your fellow pilots. You should be thankful.

Everyone whines sometimes. It doesnt matter if he flies axis or allies.

you miss the point of the perk system.   It is to stigmatize and humiliate wussies that would fly uber planes in an anything goes arena.   It paints a big target on them that says "look at me I'm a wimp who can't compete"...   The nik is no big deal to defeat.   The D9 is simply anoying and the lag is borderline but.... newguys need some advantage.

Now... can we get back to making fun of pyegote?
