Title: Poll: 1.03 or 1.05?
Post by: Effdub on March 01, 2001, 11:17:00 AM

Some say they liked 1.03 better than 1.05
Why?

(would be interesting to know what the majority of subscribers want)

I am having a lot of fun with 1.05
however I use to do better with 1.03, I was constantly in the top 10. I enjoyed it more.

But if HTC switched to this FM its because its more realistic, so I prefer 1.05

Please dont bring this argument back again, I dont know why the hell are you trying to do that. You wont achieve anything only a flame war, wich is probably what you are trying to do.

I prefer 1.04+.

I like being able to turn aproximately as well as the real deal.

1.03 gave the entire cake to the energy, boom & zoom, fighters.  Any sloppy bellybutton flown energy fighter would easily defeat an A6M5b.  

Now in 1.04+ the energy fighter has to be flown reasonably well.  Energy fighters still have the upper hand if flown with a reasonable amount of skill, but a well flown turn fighter now has a chance.

I think some guys miss the nearly free kills of turn fighters in 1.03 and earlier versions.  A lot of them seem to me to have been,under the skin, of this kind of mind:
"I fly the <insert e-fighter type> so I'm l33t.  Look at how easily I destroy those cheating dweebs who fly Zekes, Nikis and Spits.  They think they can make up for their lack of 5k11L by flying those easy dweeb mobiles."

In actuality the e-fighters had such a huge advantage in 1.03 that anybody who flew turn fighters, especially pure turn fighters like the A6M5b and Spitfire MkVb, was placing themselves at a disadvatage.  Now in 1.04+ ifyou grab a Zero or Spit V you are still at a disadvantage, but have a fighting chance to survive,which is as it should be.

1.04+ still has known issues, such as the N1K2-J retaining too much energy and the Typhoon rolling too fast, but over all I think it is a much better flight model.
