Title: 163s that spontaneously explode!
Post by: PanzerIV on August 18, 2007, 09:56:07 PM: They did in real life, why not on a simulator that strives for accuracy?

:D

My only thing is that we have somthing called "You have landed sucsessfully" when your on runway for startup, so we wouldn't lose perks and then we would just go again.

Post by: Saxman on August 19, 2007, 10:50:33 AM: I'd rather see them and 262s gone entirely and radar range at HQ extended so incoming Buffs can be detected a lot sooner. Oh, and rough altitude indicators on Dar as well because, y'know, historical radar COULD get a general altitude fix.

There's nothing more annoying and gamey than guys who field-hop in 163s to get them into front-line combat five sectors away from from their base.

Post by: Bronk on August 19, 2007, 12:42:28 PM: If they (the 163's) took the time to base hop, well I guess they should be there.
Not like they will be up there every flight on the front line.
It's their $15 they want to base hop.

Hardly qualifies for the "Most Annoying" Award of AH II.

In any case certainly not to basehopping frontline Me 163s.

That is actually a squadmate of mine in the Komet. But yes, I do roll film most sorties, as film is probably the single best training aide one can use to better understand and improve on performance.

I am not nearly skilled enough to make a suitable movie, but am collecting film for others to incorporate into a trailer for DGS.
