Title: c47's
Post by: folkwufe on May 24, 2007, 01:33:12 PM

next time your offline, or have a slow time in the main arena, take the c47 offroading. just lower rpm, keep gear down, and look out for big hills.

It's more fun to do that with an F4F-4, just drive around and try to crash your outer wings off.
The computer thinks the wings are still on, so you can just scid on them without damaging anything.
So basically, you can't tip over :D

F4U does that also.  I was vulch practice for a squad in the TA one night...FIRST thing I did was shed the outer wing panels, THEN I started working on my skids.  Got to where I could do a pretty good imitation of a J-turn, but getting it going backwards in the first place required some heavy rudder and stick input.  Throttle control is important.

You can even make jumps from small hills, the trick is to keep your propeller clear :aok
It's really fun to just cross around, as long as your propeller is still running, you can do almost anything :D (be sure not to crash into anything)

Ar234 has the strongest gear and can take little hills 120mph.

Why don't you just fly to your own HQ and bail out. then walk to the Rook HQ, the Bish one and back home.
After you are done, write a book: "Hiking the Uterus"  :D

yak is the best, 25% fule +2 flaps you can keep the nose up more at only 90mph.

Its also small so you dont hit as much stuff.

Easy to hit props on the ground in hard turns

And you'll crash your props as soon as the outer wings are gone with the P-38.
The F4F just keeps on rolling :)
