Title: Two strange things about f6f
Post by: baine1 on September 16, 2006, 07:32:24 PM

1. Everytime I try to launch one for the first time from a carrier the damn thing bounces upon spawn, killing the engine.
2. The f6f can fly and fight with both wingtips shot off. First time I did this to someone, I thought there was something fishy. Then a flackpanzer relieved my plane of both wingtips and I was still able to outfly a p47 and kill a flack. I'd think this isn't right

Deploy from the tower, not the hanger, and you won't dropped onto the deck.

with one wing tip shot off you have to lean pretty hard o one side :lol

with two shot off it would be much more balanced...

I know for a fact that with one side gone you can fly as long as your airspeed is high enough to create enough lift... slow down too much and you drop to the short side

it all makes sense to me.. the guy in the 47 should probabl have his pilots license yanked

The hard part is after loosing one, getting yourself lined up properly in someone's gunsight to loose the other.
