BTW, I have had also few A-A encounters against P38s, based on them I would say any P38 in MA will came from 25k, dive, spray and flee again to 25k far far away. Does that mean this is the way to use this plane, does that means that all P38 drivers use it that way? Your misconception about MA 190s is absolute. But, if you really think that killing in a 190 is just as easy as killing with a Spit, then your misconception about any plane in MA is total.

Better than talking so much, pick up a 190 for a tour and then came here with results.



Well I wanna sling some mud around too :D

Been flyin with and around akak for 6 or 7 years now?
Same squad for better than 3 years and he can fly any dam thing in here.

He is also right in saying that tactics and pilot make the plane.

I say he could prolly whump you in a duel same plane and fighting instead of using *tactics*. :p :D  :D

On the FW in here. I have only seen a handful of folks willing to turn fight them.  They aint half bad if you are in a downwards fight. They split arse like no other. They roll like the tide.

I dont fly them much, when I have I can usally get 2 or 3 kills before they get me. there easy to kill in and much more survivable than a spit
If you want to survive.


I usally just fight to the dirt.   :)


another thing. bringing home 13 kills in a niki is harder than bring 13 in a fw.
*Speed is the cushion of sloppiness*
 Anyone can use SA and survive in a fast plane. Fly a slow plane and see what you are made of. That goes for any "ace"  
Fly something slow. then you done something a little more remarkable with 13 kills.



btw akak I can hit at over 800 with those 50s in the 38

I save cannons for closeups ;->


on spits niks and other planes.
every plane has a weakness, its our job to exploit it.

38 will hang longer than a spit or a nik.
I rope them lots.

What are all you dorks talking about? It's never the plane I hate, is the dweeb flying it that I hate...

Certain names come to mind.  How about a topic "What dwees do you absolutely hate?"  Besides it's the man, not the machine you got to worry about. :D

If you mean the automatic "butterfly"(?) flaps I have seen HTC say they are modelled in the performance, just not in the graphics.

To the others posting in this thread:

It is always the pilot, not the plane, that makes the crucial difference.

I like the P-40E. Why? Its like the Yak from AW. If someone shoots you down in it, they haven't accomplished much. On the other hand, if you're that Niki driver I blew up Friday night with my P-40, you probably still haven't lived it down :D

Bue Mako--

The N1K2's flaps are not automatic in AH.  You can verify this simply by selecting the plane offline and seeing for yourself.  Since the N1K2 did not have 2 separate sets of flaps, one must conclude that the N1K2 we have in AH has strictly manually-controlled flaps.

HT said exactly what you say he said, but IIRC it was referring to the wing slats on the Me-109's.

Speaking of things which are modeled but not graphically represented, do any of the naval planes have visible tailhooks?

Was in H2h the other night for some quality baby-sea clubbing, took some n00b in a spit14 to school with a Ju-88.

You can beat a veteran pilot in a Val or Stuka if you're good enough.  There's nothing as funny as watching a couple of FW 190s run from a Ju-87D-3.

My bad, I thought they said they had modelled the automatic combat flaps...
