For all those who've complained about the way AH works, here's something to think about. And if the shoe fits.....  :lol

I don't see anything wrong with "Breastica".

I, like most others are represented by the guy on the far right of the foursome!

Add science to the AH equation and there is no way some of the maneuvers we see here could ever have been actually preformed without  knocking your head off the canopy repeatedly, sometimes with enough force to disable you, eye popping negative G's or long term blackout ending in confusion and death.

Remember that most pilots needed to have loose enough restraints to position their bodies in a way that the head could turn easily for a look behind them constantly while in a fight.

Ah yes, the always popular "I paid $15 to watch this?" guy.

Watching a movie in a theater WILL cost $14.95 in your lifetime.

P.S. There's a live eel in that guys tub of popcorn.

That comic brings home a point for those gamers that just came from Quake or Team Fortress.  However, when someone makes a point about something legit in AH2 it shouldnt be received on the same level.

Doing rolls in a fully loaded B24 should rip its wings off and pulling up sharply in a fully loaded Lancaster with 12k of ord should rips its wings off, too.    ;)

Yes, he does appear to be performing the popcorn trick to the Breastica buff.   :uhoh

i agree. those people you see pulling 7G's for 30 seconds, 5 times a fight...wouldnt that send the average human back to bed...or at least close? then, dont forget when your inverted for a minute pushin your nose up and red-outting...shouldnt the eyes pop out? somethin to add to the wishlist...

Its their fault you have to take out half the engine to change one part when on 80's model trucks you could just reach in there and grab it

Ive never flown a niki, or a 190d in real life, so I can't comment on how they should perform?. :O
