I understand that the ability to climb quickly varies from plane to plane, but yesterday I upped directly behind the identical plane (Hurri 2c) that I was flying. I had 50% fuel loadout and wasn't carrying any ords. The Hurri in front of me Climbed like a jet. I, on the otherhand, didn't. The end result was the "uh oh prayer" followed by a stall. Any tips??

are ou using auto take off?
if not, let your plane accelerate to about 120 before attempting to lift off.....sometimes about 100 works.
once in the air, gear up immediatly, and shallow climb to let her accelerate. around 160 or so, lift your nose a couple degrees, and check your VSI. you should be able to climb about 2k to 2.5k per minute at 160 in the hurri2

The other guy was probably using auto-climb (auto-speed?). By default, that will keep your plane at a constant speed by adjusting the rate of climb. In other words, it will make your plane - any plane - climb at its best climb rate at sea level. In the Hurri2c, if I remember correctly, that means about 2.5 thousand feet per minute at around 150 mph.

really what i do is i hold the plane on the runway until the gears start creaking, then i let off forward presure let it rise some retract gear and fly straight and level until i hit 160-200 mph then i pull up in a shallow climb and when my climb rate is close to what my plane can do i hit auto climb or the x key.
now this is on feils with no obstruction, if your at a feild with mountins around you may need to circle the field gaining alt before leaving depens on what map ur on,
