seen the first good use of fluffs last night...
they were a gamey feature that was used to counter another gamey feature.. Bish were spawning their gamey GV's near the airbase in mass... A nit took off with the gamey fluff 3 group he controled and carpet bombed the GV column from about 200'

what's a fluff? You mean a buff?
-
Enjoy the game in what ever way you wish and stop worrying about about what the other kids are doing. Aces High is just a silly game. You may not like it but, short of hacking or cheating, one way to have have fun is no less "gamey" or more valid than any other way, including your own.

wise man once said "in a game all features are gamey"

To game or not to game....That is the Question!

Thats been going on for a while now.

what's truly amusing is when buff dweebs and gv dweebs try and get all smack-y with each other.
:rofl

...rolling thunder or rolling blunder?
:D

buffs are only good for base defence deathstars when the porking dweebs have knocked fuel to 25% then monkeyed on up to B'n'Z people trying to take off.

Where have ya been hiding Lazs, that's a standard method for dealing with GV swarms. Carpet bomb the little stinkers.
Nonetheless, I prefer to take up a 6 gun D-30 Jug, short clip for guns but all the underwing ordnance it'll carry. I can usually get 5 or 6 of them pesky vehicles. When the ord is gone I have a lightweight P-47 to deal with any fighters that show up.
If you haven't furballed in a stripped-down D-30 before, it's a fun and hugely underrated ride.
My regards,
Widewing

Fluff dweebs, Gv dweebs, Furball dweebs, Jabbo dweebs.
They're all the same. Cept for spit dweebs who arethe lowest form of dweebs to even dweebiest of dweebs.:D
We're ALL dweebs or we wouldnt be here.

I've furred a litltle in the 47 but I don't do well in int with a horde of niks, La7's and spits capping the field 5 k above me.
lazs

Which means you have to fight fire with fire again :) 1 P-47 can't make it in the usual spitn00bs which leads to the brave jug pilots are being forced to fly the spits too :(
-
Yak or Fm2 works well. yak if you have to go far and FM2 if the fight is close.

Lazs.. im surprised you fly yaks dude.. They got no ammo! Enough ammo to take down a few zombies, but not enough to stem the river that follows... P38s are where the firepower is at.. 8)

though with 3400 rounds the jug comes close too :)

For mixing it up with turn fighters within the sector, I take a D-30 Jug loaded with 25% fuel, plus the 75 gallon belly tank. Ammo load is 6 guns, but the smaller ammo load of 267 rnds/gun.
That drop tank gets me to the fight, and gets discarded regardless of how much gas remains.
So, in this configuration the D-30 climbs very well, between 3,900 and 4,000 ft/min. from the deck (in auto-climb). That's as good or better than any other American iron. Turn rate is at least as good as the P-51D (unless it is low fuel too), but roll rate is faster than the Mustang. Dive acceleration is very good, and zoom climb is impressive too.
Starting out below the Spits and Nikis is not a good idea, unless you have plenty of E. In which case you can often catch them flatfooted not expecting a P-47 to climb as fast as it will.
Ideally, I prefer to show up Co-alt or slightly higher. However, I will have 350 mph on the dial. Working a horde of turn fighters isn't especially difficult so long as you manage your E carefully and avoid turning more than 180 degrees while engaged.
Ever since the 56th squad fell apart, you rarely see anyone flying the P-47 except in the roll of suicide jabo, where they are common. As a result, many of the newer players have no idea how capable they can be if loaded lightly. How they find out is usually painful. The P-47 will fly nearly two sectors on 25% fuel, and while 8 guns is awesome, 6 is more than adequate.
I like the P-47, it's certainly fun and not just a little bit lethal.
My regards,
Widewing

otoh 8 guns assures you saw thru anything with tiny bursts as soon as you know how to hold aim, and in almost any conditions at close range. It also gives you loose change for the odd GV just begging for it.
Matter of fact I never take anything but full guns and ammo.

In fairness these planes are dweeby. in a gaming respect. but only when flown in a dweeb like manner
It must be apreciated that nik2s, LA7s and spit9s are the dweeb versions of great aircraft and many pilots should not be catagorised as dweebs just becuase these are their chosen rides.
If on the other hand you fly zeros, LA5s or spit 5 or 1s then there is no way you should be expected to take dweeb orientated insults. The whole world will not just fly Yank planes becuase the majority think they are where its at.
There are some incredible eastern block pilots who have made the LAs their slaves, Euqualy there are some awesome orientals who have made zeros and niks into a legendary plane, not a dweebish one. and finally, you all know that a good spit pilot is not a dweeb.
Should we have to take this rascist behaviour towards our national pride and history? i think not.
IMHO: the ultimate dweeb ride is the P-51. more bullets than a
Lanc, BnZ capabilties unmatched by many others, and enough fuel to fly round the map forever...
.....But!
When i come up against a pony pilot who is not flying in a dweeby way, then the plane ceases to be a dweeb ride, it them becomes a deadly adversary, worthy of my respect.
So next time you issue the 'Spit dweeb' insult, think about how the fight was won. if it was your bad flying that let the 'dweeb' kill you, or if it was simply the 'dweebishness' of the plane.
Dont show yourself to be ignorant in that a dweeb can kill an ace just becuase he is in a dweeb plane. ;)
-
We still enjoy dropping "buff's" out of the sky when their trying to carpet bomb our GV's at 200' off the deck!!
When ya think about it, who's the "dweeb" in this senario?
Oh well, it's still just a game:)
-
Yea, but if you want a 6 gun aircraft that can fight... a P-51 on 25% is a hell of a lot more nimble than a P-47 with 6 guns on 25%. Even a P-40 is more nimble than a P-47.
-
why bother? A p47 or 51 is ded meant if even someone of my limitied skill catches it low and slow... I am not interested in taking off 2 sectors back or keeping my speed at 350... The yak accelerates well enough to take off from a horde attack and drag a few of the horde out far enough to trun around, whack em, and still run like hell from the other 20 bored toolshed fighting horde members who are starved for any con they can chase that is at a 10 to one diwsadvantage or better.
When I fly my FM2, I can drag em out but every one of the 20 can catch me. fight the fastest one and all the slow ones get a chance to catch up.
just the way the game is these days.
lazs
-
lazs stick to the FM2 if it's so much better... you've said it so many times.
Meanwhile some guys will bother with the 8 gun pig and for every two sorties lost to one mistake, survive at least another shallow climbout and land a 10+kill sortie. I do it alone all the time successfully, nevermind with a proper wingman.
ManeTMP to name just one, does some odd kami sorties in A8s and D11s etc, everytime we bag a ****load.

Oh I just LOVE when they come in like that when Im in a tank and they come in at my 12 all low.
Amazing how many planes you can shoot down with the main gun on a tank.
I kill quite a bit that way.
Wish we had a stat on it
-
moot.. if you are slow in a 47 and even someone like me is in a yak or an FM2 you are ded... end of story. The only way you can stay alive in a 47 is to fly it in a way that I find to be extremely boring. I am not concerned so much with how many kills I get per sortie so much as how much fun the fights were and how many kills per hour I had.
The fact that you like to fly one way and I another is the reason the plane get's used by you a lot and very little by me... The plane is a pig for mixing it up.
lazs
-
yes it's a pig.
yes I fly the way you don't, but also the way you do.
yes im dead if someone like you in a top tier plane finds me slow in a 47, but so what, it never happens, how do you think i learned to survive in impossible odds like lone 152 in the middle of n1ks and spits?
this is the limit of politeness, you want me to be honest? You need to get better, because YES there is a way to survive without "boring flying", that is kill everything you see at the first occasion, most efficient way is to arrange it so the biggest threats fall first. Threat total falls exponentially with each kill usually.
Put me in an FM2 and it's the same, you flip the maneuverability/firepower ratio around. I just don't have the patience to do endless acrobatics to dodge bullets, I'd rather take the weight penalty and get enough ammo for ten assured kills, maybe as much as 20 in a perfect sortie.
I'd rather work for a perfect 10-15 kill sortie in an impossible plane than have one where there's always this nice and comfy safety net to always bail me out of what's ultimately inevitable: entropy: low and slow.
-
I need a challenge damnit
Fm2 isn't one.
-
Am I to take it from this thread that the Pony D is a dweeb ride? :eek:
The high speed maneuvering flaps make for a deadly combinations of effective wing loading for different situations.
But as for dweeby, the Pony is no longer an effective "Runstang" as the Dora or LA7 will run you down with little effort on the deck.
I think the Pony is one of the superior rides in the arena, but it takes some effort to get the most out of it, and you certainly don't get 1 ping kills like some of the cannon rides.
I am not sure there are "dweeb rides", but I do think that there are "dweeb pilots"
:D
-
The Pony IMO is one of the best all around aircrafts in the main arena.
It has few real weakness and tons of excellent attributes:
Visability
Superior size of gunnery sight compared to cockpit instrumentation making gunnery easy.
Fuel burn - Loiter time.. The Best....
Average to above average gun package.
6 50's converged under 300 have some hitting power..
Ord. Excellent loadouts..
Speed. At prefered alts the mustang is on par with anything... near untouchable.
supercruise and high speed climbs.. one of the best behind 109 and perk planes..
need i say more...

This is true. I fly the P-51B fairly often too. However, the fact remains that most players take far too much fuel in their Mustangs and that greatly effects its agility. While a light P-51 turns a bit better than the P-47, it also suffers more from G induced snap rolls. Mustangs depart with little warning, but the Jug will mush a bit before snapping onto its back, giving you time to ease off a tad. I never take more than 50% gas in a P-51 and rarely that much in a Jug unless the fight is more than a sector away (as they commonly are on some of the bigger maps), in which case I'll load 50% and the belly tank.
Over the past several tours I've been flying aircraft that are not stellar dogfighters, especially on the deck. To be successful in these, you have to be more aware, you have to be more disciplined and you have to use what strengths it has and avoid the weaknesses.
Yesterday, I took up a P-40 for a sortie. I managed a single kill and a pair of assists. It was simply too slow to chase down the runners. One guy in a Spitfire was kind enough to fight, but not good enough to survive. I like the P-40, but it needs some altitude to chase down the La-7s and P-51s.
I like the challenge of flying planes perceived as "clunkers". Sure I could take a better fighter, but it's not as much fun for me.
My regards,
Widewing

DoctorYo
PS: Graduate to the p47..... evolve...
Could you elaborate a bit? It would seem that the Jug with 6 guns is better than most people appear to fly it. Does it have high speed maneuvering flaps,
Do you climb turn in a pinch like the 109s?
Talk to me :)
-
"I like the P-40, but it needs some altitude to chase down the La-7s and P-51s."
Which is pretty much why anything slower than a Spit 9 or Nik2 is useless, unless it has hizookas. The Hurri 2c is pretty useless, but the 200mm cannon make up for it with the spray and pray kills. Anything that isn't that well armed doesn't have the firepower to kill the runners before they can get away, and of course doesn't have the speed to catch them.
-
moot... you missed the point. I think that I could do as well as you in any plane you choose. I am not that good but I find that surviving in a fast plane is simple in the extreme.... you will not survive any better or worse in an FM2 is you fly into the fights that I do.
Let me be honest with you... anyone who can't survive in the planes you fly if they pck their fights is not very good... you should try flying against the odds. It is very easy to keep your SA in a fast plane with very little traffic... swoop down and nail planes that are engaged or assleep... I really don't need to practice that.
one tour I took every fighter we have and flew it till I got a kill and landed.. I said I would not go over 5k but never went over 3 or 4k. It was a good way to get my views set but... the fun planes were fun and the unfun planes were a lot less fun.
If you fight me you will either catch me assleep, catch me when my SA is overwhelmed, realize I see you and run away..or... you will get killed. And I'm not that good but when you fur a lot you learn how to fur... simply saying it is easy and beneath you doesn't mean you are so good that you ignore the skill and concentrate on flying the fastest planes in the safest manner and call that the real skillset of the game.
I don't care what you think... you don't fly like me... If you did then it would be so fun you wouldn't even care if a 152 was in the game except to annoy you.

widewing and urchin have it.. you can fly the slow early planes and get kills but you can't chase anyone down and if you run into a bunchj of baddies far from home you are toast cause you can't play king of the sky 152 weenie. You have to fight your way out of a group of planes that most can turn with you, all can outclimb you and all can outrun you.
Yak has been a good comprimise for me lately... cuts down on the frustration... can drag out the ack huggers and not be meat or can furball in a large fur pretty well and still have the speed to get that 1 sector boring flight home with a bunch of cons chasing... if you are in a slow plane they chase a lot further cause they know they will catch you before they are in any danger or... they simply get fixated... If you are in the yak... the little wusses start to realize they will be far from their own ack and the safety of 20 buddies by the time they catch you... if at all.. I sometimes run till they are far enough away from safety and then turn around and whack em and still get turned around in time to discorage his lagging team mates from pursuing.
That is what the game has come to.

Fodder what im saying is the p47 is a natrual step in the non dweeby without a complete change of Flying styles battle \ tactics..
I guess I gave a bit of a chastisement but when i see people poddy mouth the p51 as substandard I try to set them straight..
P51 imo should be perked along with all other late war planes with exceptional performance.. This includes LA7, P51, g10 (I love the bird but it should be perked too..) Extreme small perk on nik, spit, and the typhoon.. They have weaknesses but are still pretty beefy...
Aircraft from 1941-late 1943 should be fair game.. I see few problems with those aircraft...
IMO the P51 is damn near the best aircraft in the game.. and while the JUG can try to hang, p47's are meat to a well flown 51..... Hence flying the p47 and evolving will improvve your game.. Fly the D11 for a tour.. (dont dweeb it; fly it with the 8 guns low ammo) and then jump into a stang the following tour.. I got 3 to 1 odds your k/d will improve 1.0-2.0 per death...
try it you'll see.. p51 feels like a sports car, as where the p47 feels like your moms hoopty crown vic... with Battlestar Gallatica mush and all included...
DoctorYo
PS : Glad Lazs is enjoying the yak.. Yaks a great bird and is underated.. if it had the fuel to do some of the deep ops I like to do I would fly it more often..

don't know what you expect to fish except sword rattle with a stupid post like that.
I'm as good as Urchin (I ran into WW and fact is (regardless his RL credentials, they mean nothing in a game) he's not much better than average fighter:fighter) at least, hell, Urchin is who I spent maybe most of my time with practicing. I kick your ACM bellybutton anytime I want, furball or not.
What you can't see is that I learned this game in H2H rooms, on tiny maps, with airspawns 5 seconds from the 8 player furball, and spit5s dominated the planeset, no way to "win" the furball with anything less than another spit5, near constant stall horn and view hat and trigger time in short; that is without doing some extremely long egress passes.
I do say it is easy but beneath me is your words, not mine.
" sometimes run till they are far enough away from safety and then turn around and whack em and still get turned around in time to discorage his lagging team mates from pursuing. "
And you tell me I'm slanted towards running/lwdweebery/etc??? If you can't win the fight you die in it, period.
My best sorties of 20+ in one ammo load I always lost just like that, not running back and forth in the no-man's-land safety cushion.
"king of the sky 152 weenie"... too funny, it's slow as molasses to accelerate and stalls as bad as any other stallbrick anywhere in average furball speeds, and that's how I use it 75% of the time, but you can't hear that because it just doesn't fit with the stupid LW/BnZ/whatever caricature you cherish so much.
**** all, we're off the subject I'm on about: you think there is some kind of slant that puts one (or either) side of the firepower/maneuverability spectrum at an advantage, and the other not, therefore you must have balls flying one and not the other, and that in any situation, but like you said:
"You have to fight your way out of a group of planes that most can turn with you, all can outclimb you and all can outrun you. " You can deny the 152 is just that once <275 and twisting and turning, without a safety margin of altitude under you? wtf do you think I take up some wallowy pigs like an A20 or 110C4 or D11 or B5N or 202 into any furball for?
The plane is as useful as the dogfight conditions make it, and I only have fun flying against the odds, like you said; only you mean something not quite so generic and therefore not so true since it biases on one type of plane,particularily, for every condition .

Moot, I checked stats because I had been letting my brother fly on my account while he stayed with us last month (he's a cop, and was in between houses because his new house wasn't ready in time).
He never ran into you and the last time we met air to air was August of 2002... You won a rather longish duel in Doras. I had been playing about 6 months at that time. Now, nearly two years later, I promise you that you would have a very hard time repeating that. I too have practiced with Urchin, and I had a blast. He is a very good stick, as I'm sure you are. However, don't base your opinion on ancient events. Besides, the average player has a K/D something less than 0.5/1, or even worse... :)
Lazs is also a very good stick. So guys, let's not get into a weenie measuring contest here. On any given day in the MA anyone can kill anyone, because in the MA it's 70% circumstances and 30% skill. If skills are equal, circumstances will decide the winner and loser. Even if one should have greater skills, circumstances will often prevail.
Furballing takes skill. Prospering in the Ta 152 takes skill. Flying and fighting, and more importantly, surviving on the deck in the P-47 takes some skill too.
Who is better? Who cares? Are you enjoying yourself? If the answer is yes, then that should be enough.
My regards,
Widewing

Ok I got a bit pissed off, by what I still think is a narrow pov on, like you say WW (i agree with you), what it takes to have fun.
My point wasn't which type of plane, or which type of dogfight or pilot is more fun or better, but that it's an false premise in the first place.
I mean, if HTC were to add Gloster Glad's or some other biplane etc, what would the FM2 be to those?
I don't have a bias to the 152 in terms of what's "fun", and yes I agree anything can be fun.
Matter of fact I usually let good duels stretch on and on to keep it fun rather than just end it at the first occasion.
Once I'm out of this ****ing semester at Uni, I'll grab a stick and derust and we can try out your theory WW :D

moot... you say I need more skill to fly like you. I say I don't care to develop that particular "skill". If I get behind you and can catch you... you are simply ded. And.... I am not very good.
Truth is... I never see you either. You will never be in the same fight I am. there are a lot of guys that I will never see in this game. I really don't care if they are in the game or not. I don't really care what your opinion is since it has nothing to do with what I do. I am not interested in H2H as it has nothing to do with what I am talking about. Furballs are not H2h. If you can't get away in a 152 then you are pitifull or just having a good time and not caring. I rarely see 152's but I ignore them if I do.. They have nothing to do with the game I am in.
dryo... I have never taken more than 3/4 of a tank in the yak and it is mostly 1/2... I have run out with half a tank on occassion but mostly... if it looks like I will have to go more than a half a yak tank will take me... I don't bother. I also normally fly the yak at about 4-5k. I like to furball it with the spits.

I can have fun doing almost anything. Last night I did a little of everything one can do with fighters. I took part in base captures, I porked V bases that were being problematic, I defended against buff attacks, I defended against CV attacks and I manned a 5" turret and clobbered some PTs.
On such a night I will fly many different fighters. Last evening I flew these:
F4U-1C
FM-2
Hurricane IIC
P-47D-30
F6F-5
P-51D
Bf 109G-2
P-40E
Landed 55 kills for no losses or damage. Add about a dozen assists for finishing off or damaging other enemies. Killed roughly 6 hangers and two VHs. Killed two shore batteries, sank a Cruiser and destroyed about a dozen supply barges.
All in all, a little of everything. This is the kind of diversity I enjoy, every sortie had different elements. I get bored with one dimensional game play and need to do different things. Some players enjoy flying but one type of sortie. I don't. That doesn't mean what they do is not fun, they obviously enjoy that type of fighting. More power to them. Others prefer to loiter over furballs and cherrypick. Kind of lame, but whatever floats their boats... Still others like to work alone, tearing up incoming missions and attacking hordes while they assemble. That can be great fun too (ideal for the Ta 152 and Jug).
The thing is, one can be very successful at one particular aspect of the game and be perfectly content to do that exclusively. I prefer to engage in all aspects.
Anyway, I look forward to flying with you in the DA or TA. I prefer the TA because you can paint the other guy and continue the fight. No waiting for the guy to re-plane, the fight goes on until guns are empty and then both auger and re-up. You get a lot more fighting for your time expenditure.
My regards,
Widewing

I'd put my money on Moot, actually.
I've fought you before, and he is a better dogfighter than I am, at least in the 190/Ta-152. I'm pretty much a one trick pony in those.

k WW, we'll do the TA then.
Lazs, Zzzz.
You enjoy your MA/FM2/whatever bubble and I won't interfere, but if you're up for any challenge, you'll see I beat any attempt you make 1:1, FM2 or whatever.

widewing said it pretty well... the ma is about 70% circumstance and 30% skill. I would go along with that. I wont be fighting moot because he doesn't fight in the same game as I do... even if he goes to an area I am at I will probly be too low for him to take a chance on and... if he does... I will dodge him and he will move on. I have NEVER seen a 152 in a furball or, what I consider a furball.
There are teirs in this game... they are seperated by alt and plane type with very little interaction except under the most lopsided circumstances... Hordes and vultching.
I am not saying I am any good at all... never have. I am just pointing out that the tiers exist. Moot is right... I have no skill but.. even my little bit of skill is enough to know that surviving in the fastest planes in the game is childs play compared to a good furball. It is also preference... I don't find a high alt fight in 152's say to be much fun.
