Author Topic: Partial retraction of gripe about current setup (Read 493 times)

I've gone into the CT a few times on this setup and it's better than I thought it would be. I still maintain that the setup would be even better without the 262.

Everyone having a chance to fly Spit 14's, F4u4 hogs and Tempests is a good idea.

Anyway, ~~to Andjig for creativity. Keep it coming.~~

I agree. There's usually something in every setup that bugs me and in this case its the jets. Doesn't mean the whole setup is porked though IMO. Not a big "jet" fan myself, but I don't expect everyone to share my bias. Fly what you want and have fun. Had a good time last night flying jabo in a p-51, then switched sides to balance the numbers and flew a spit 14. Had to dodge jets on both sides which was somewhat annoying, but still had fun. Looking forward to flying the f4u4 and tempest this week also.

~~Andijg for an interesting setup and for trying something different.~~

I think so far I have only been killed by one jet, while their around their easy to avoid, at least if your paying atention.

I avoided several jets on my sorties Friday night. One of them got a lucky 30mm hit and my wing fell off. I guess it's bound to happen when 2 of them are taking turns along with a P-51D who's trying to pounce as well.

Ya thats kinda how I got nailed, was over whealmed by several planes and a jet nailed me.

All in all I think its a pretty nice setup...the 262 has pretty limited value...except as a JABO bird

.

Originally didnt think much of the plane set match up: Spit IVX vs the Pony on the mainland....till I ran into Wilbus 7-8 times in a row (in pony) and got beat to death (just great flying). Having the tempest and -4's I think tilt things a bit toward that side...at least so it seemed since all seem to have a significant "top end" over spitty...of course since I tend to switch over to side with lower #'s could be I was just constantly upping into higher cons. But it seemed like even the pony has an edge in "total E".

Anyway I think it's a great change of pace and certainly a big improvement over the MA....only thing that I keep having an issue with is the porking/vulching/hide and seek with the low #'s. Gets annoying at times...but all in all was a blast....

flying as azhacker this time around.

call me a pooperhead, but i still think the setup, and i'm putting this nicely so puhlease, no counter-slams

, leaves much to be desired. i guess i don't get into this "let's simulate a simulator" mindset. dunno quite how to put it, so i'll shut up and leave it with that.

no slam against you personally andimiester. kudos for the effort

, but...

that is all.
