Title: Ok HiTech, lets get serious here...
Post by: streetstang on January 21, 2005, 03:46:07 PM
... about the bribes.

WHAT is it gonna take for you guys to do the Mustang IA? You know the Mustang with 4x20mm hispanios. As rare as they were I need one. Very badly. You can perk it 2x's that of the 262. I've been askin for this baby for a long time now. :)

Now as far as the bribes go. How many bottles? Name your poison.

Where did your bribe link go??? Are you saying you can't be bought??? Nonsence!

I like this request much better than the brewster  =)   Just make sure to give it an identifiable tag unlike the F4U1-C.  This thing would be a HOSS!

No tags.  A mustang is a mustang, a spit is a spit...

Now the 163, 262, 152 and Tempest are tagged by default.

I just don't feel the F4Us, P51s, and Spits should be.  They're just not fast enough to get out of the gangbang!

But what do I care, I rarely fly perkies anyway.... don't know what I'm going to do with all these points.:rofl

The Spitfire Mk XIV doesn't seem to be a SPIT and the F4U-4 doesn't seem to be an F4U.

I am well aware of its performance specifications.

It is basicly a P51 B with slightly less sack, bigger guns and doesnt turn as well. Like I said, basicly.


It is inevitable that someone will come in here and tell me what I need. (not saying you). BUt they're going to do so by comparing the 51D to the Mustang IA. So what?
Exactly so what. Why fly the F4u1 when you've got the Chog? Why fly the P40B when you've got the E?

The point I'm making lies within my questions above.
Title: Ok HiTech, lets get serious here...
Post by: Flyboy on January 21, 2005, 05:14:36 PM
hey morph, why just flying the Chog?

same guns, Chog probably out turns it, and is faster?
Title: Ok HiTech, lets get serious here...
Post by: streetstang on January 21, 2005, 05:45:45 PM
Why not just fly an La7?

I can out turn just about any plane in the game and chase down almost anyone just as easily with it.

Edit: Not trying to be a smart arse. But you see the point yes?

It would just be very cool is all to have the IA in the game. Hell, i know its slower, doesnt turn as well ect ect ect. But we have 3 variations of the Jug too... With each one being better than the other at one thing or another.

As far as I know it wasn't very different from the early stangs but for the quad 20m gun package. The gun package being the rarity of the variant. It would make a very fun little ground attack plane as well as a nasty fighter in the right hands ofcourse.

Isnt the hispano mustang heavier, slower, worse airodynamics and worse engine than the P51B?

And the perk plane icon stuff is bull****. Its ok for a 262 163 and ta152 because there is nothing similar.

But a spit14 should have the same icon as other spits.. f4u should be the same icon for all of em and tempest should have typhoon icon.

Post by: lazs2 on January 23, 2005, 08:37:46 AM
the 1a was lighter and more nimble than the merlin powered mustangs.  It was very fast at low alts (below about 12k) and could chase down or get away from 190's on the deck.

No, the Mustang Mk1a (P-51, with no letter designation for USAAF) weighed less than the P-51B, by about 300 lbs. Typically, the Allison engine installation weighed less than the Merlin. I do not believe that there was any significant difference in drag either.

I would expect the Allison Mustangs to be a bit more maneuverable than the P-51B and have an even greater advantage over the P-51D. However, its middling acceleration and climb offsets that.

What would make the Mustang Mk.Ia a premier ride is the guns. Does anyone think the Tempest would be perked if it was armed like a Hurricane Mk.I? Despite its speed, it would be a hanger queen if it wasn't for the quad Hispanos.

My regards,

Widewing

Yup and look at em -
1) Spit 1 - Hanger queen apart from scenarios.
2) Spit 5 - Best spit in the game.
3) Spit 9 - Be nice with a Merlin 66, as it stands it's a mongrel version of different Spits (fuel tanks etc).
4) Spit 14 - Ridiculously overperked!!!!!!!!

Let us have -
2a) Spit 5 with 4x20mm option.
5) Spit LF MkVIII with clipped wings.

If you check the stats for the spit1 Ka, it's probably one of the single most least used planes in the entire set. You can exclude bombers too if you'd like. It'll see be in the top 10 least used. I'm not saying its a capable plane in the least bit though.

But it is a hanger queen in the MA 99.9% of the time.

Post by: Guppy35 on January 24, 2005, 12:12:07 AM
Enough with the four cannon Spit V requests already :)

I love Spits and then some, but they just weren't  using four cannon Spit Vs outside of one Squadron doing ground attack work in Italy and they also had the large tropical filters on them so they would have been dogs in terms of performance.  They definately weren't dogfighting with them.  Seems to me the Spit V jockey's in AH do quite well with the 2 cannon Vc they have already.

As for Allison Mustangs, wouldn't it make more sense to go with the version the RAF was flying or the one used extensively by the 1st Air Commandos in the CBI?  The A36 saw a fair amount of service as well in Sicily and Italy.  Since everyone's bomb the toolshed's happy, a dive bombing Allison Mustang would fit right in.

That's because some are timid about using it because "it stalls".  A 2-3 second burst on a wing results in a kill.  Sadly, AH2 has evolved into a "Cannon Based" game.

In warbirds we have same spits  1,5,9,14 ( 2 spit5's variants )

In Warbirds we have a rolling plane set.
ie not all planes available at the same time in ww2arena.

spit1 early war : better than the 109e - disadvantage negative G cutout)

spit5 early : better than 109e but with
carburettor ( negative G cutout)

Spit5 late : better turn but worse climb than adversary 109F and slower than 109F

spit5 late vs 190 : outclassed in all but turn.

spit9 vs 190 : close match - turn vs speed and handling ( 190 does handle much better at speed E retention of 190 suck)

spit14 (fm is not up to date and it suck compared with dora (which also suck :) but is better than 109k (which also suck gun-wise 30mm)

I don't think for the time being we'll have a nuke in AH why simple there are many Japanese players here and to this day Japan lives with the horror of having two atomic bombs dropped on them(Played Metal Gear Solid lately?) .

Point being it's very touchy, for us in the "US" side me included are somewhat detached from the prospect or the horror of a nuclear bomb being dropped on us ,well because it hasn't happened, imagine if someone made a a Game where you could be one of the terrorists in 9/11 and fly into the building simulating killing thausends of innocents, I'm pretty sure that would angry every American, and pseudo ones,besides being of bad taste .  

Of course the same can be argued about conventional bombs but they're limited to an area and are of conventional means,sure they were the enemy then but they're not now and have not been for more than half a century.

just IMO
