"and J_A_B the la7 is the 3rd most widely used plane "

That's my point. If it was really as uber as the "perk it" crowd claims, it'd be #1 by a large margin (remember the days of the C-hog?). It's a good plane, but it has its limitations. Again, I call it a hot-rod.

The "LA7 problem", if such a problem really exists, can easily be solved without having to perk anything. Just introduce a terrain with more areas where the deck is at 7-10K.

I still wish the LA7 had correct fuel duration though.

Hey Vort, tell me what AirWarrior's 1980's tech could do that AH's modern tech can't

Not to mention games like Unreal, UT, CS, NFS, AoK, War2/War3, DS, Q2, Q3A, XvT and Homeworld all managed to have _'s available, to name but a few

It's not a tech problem, considering that the vast majority of games DO allow such characters. I suppose it could possibly be related to how the AH host works.

In any case, since we're on the subject, use of special characters in handles would be a GREAT feature for "AH2".

Hmmm, I can write programs that can display them. It's just a database entry, isn't very tough to add.

Heh... I don't bore 'n zoom, so I really couldn't care less how well it does that. The G2 is better.

Don't forget the pound sign (£)

And its not 'Bore & Zoom', its 'Zoom, Bore, do a 180 & shoot him in the arse when he's not looking'

Did someone say GoFaster?

I've flown both and actually had more success in the C.205, but that was back when I was a rookie and flying everything just to see what they could do. I liked the way the C.205 handled overall - good blend of speed and turn - and both planes had horrible bullet ballistics. The LA-7 was faster, climbed better, and had better visibility, but the C.205 was a perk-building machine! Of course, that only matters if there are perk planes I want to fly (and there aren't).

The LA-7 is a good interceptor and the better dogfighter, but if you're sweeping an enemy airbase and have support for egress, the C.205 is the plane to have.

Vorticon, what are you smokin?

The 205 is (generally speaking) a better fighter than the G-2. During a 1 vs 1, co-E co-Alt fight, the G-2 can be *very* dangerous, tho.

Sorry dood but the underscore are just stupit lookin. Thats why HTC wont permit them. They look stupit.

JB73, I know where you're comming from, but the funny thing is--Those who wish to make silly, juvenile names can (and do) already figure out ways to do so. I've played enough different games to know that the morons will be morons regardless of what restrictions you place upon names.

That said, this was supposed to be an LA7 thread so lets try to stay on-topic. I can always start a new "J_A_B's handle thread" if y'all like
