Title: Perk the P-38J in the Mid-War Arena
Post by: ISpyWithMyLittleEye on January 05, 2009, 08:39:01 PM
Okay, something needs to be done about the P-38J in the Mid-War Arena.  Unperked, the plane is a extremely unbalancing, just look at last tour.  It was the #1 killer in the Mid-War Arena by a good margin.  No other plane is so dominating, especially in the right hands (more on this later) in Mid-War.  It's come to the point that if I log into the arena and see a couple of certain individuals logged on, I'll just log back off.  No reason I should waste my time trying to up and fight these particular guys because it's impossible, sure they get shot down from time to time but it's always by having to gang them, 1v1 or even 2v1, they are a match for pretty much anything that flies at them.  Get them out of the uber over modeled P-38 they fly and they're just fodder and can't fly, which brings me to my next conclusion.

The P-38J in the Mid-War arena last tour had 4060 kills, the most kills of any fighter.  While looking at those stats, I found something pretty interesting and eye opening.  It seems that the majority of the kills in the P-38J belong to a handful of players and all of them are members of "SAPP", the *cough* self-proclaimed experts in the P-38.  Two of the SAPP players account for a combined 25% of the total kills (one has 12%, the other 13%) and yet both of them only account for 4% of the deaths.  The other SAPP players have similiar stats but if you look at the non-SAPP players, you'll see the opposite in their stats (i.e. their deaths outnumber their kills).  I find it strange that the only ones that are successful and can do those 'impossible' things you see a P-38 do are only flown by those SAPP guys, strange stuff like being able to pick someone off with a single 20mm round in a vertical zoom climb from D1.2 away, out turn planes like Spitfires, Zekes and Hurricanes and any other stuff us non-SAPP flyers can only wish we can do in the P-38J.  Why is it these players can do almost God-like stuff in the P-38 while the rest of us can't, even though we have tons more skill and ability than any of those SAPP guys have?

After doing some more research, I think I found the answer.  It is clear that these players are getting a boost somehow and from the time some of these players have been playing (one of them professes to have been playing and flying the P-38 for almost 15 years, since AW!  Yeah, I call B.S.!) they must have someone above looking after them.  It turns out that there is someone named Pyro who is a long time P-38 fan (from the rumors I've heard, he too use to play AW and was a hard core P-38 driver) and has some ties to HTC.  Then someone sends me a gunsight that all the SAPP players use that was supposedly made for them by someone close to HTC (see below for image of the gunsight) and it is supposedly this gunsight that is the key to their success and uncanny aim.

So, while I ask that the P-38J be perked in the Mid-War arena, I also ask that something be done about those SAPP players that are obviously getting preferential treatment, like this gunsight shows.

Hi AKAK

Hi Messiah.

Oh, and I agree, perk the P-38J.  As for the gunsight, the OP forgot to mention that all SAPPers also have glass cockpits that give us an unrestricted and unobstructed 360 degree views.

I'd like to know who those SAPP guys that make up 25% of the kills, because they promised me they'd let me vulch their 2nd accounts too, the lying bastiges!

Pyro still knows what a P-38 looks like, let alone how to start one up?

Maby instead of crying on the BBS, you should ask if u could wing with one of the said P38 drivers. If the first thing you think when you get shot down is,"that guy must be cheating", you might as well cancel your subscription now.
     HTC has ways of detecting changes to there code, and even if they were using aim bot (highly unlikely) the simple solution is not to get in front of there guns.  :aok

  a p-38 is the best killer in mid, sounds to me like someone does not understand S.A.
 granted a 38 is high over your projected target, you should use caution, but to say the p-38 is an uber killer is almost as insane as saying the a-20 should have single handily won the war :noid :noid :noid
( something i related to quite some time back)
 think about what you posted, they travel in pairs, they will kill you if you don't do the same!!
 go against a piar of hurri's that work together as well as the sapp guy's and see what happens :aok

This thread should be stickied and re-named "Perspective of a 'gamer.'"

What makes you think a guy wouldn't want to spend 15 years with the great fun and people of AH?

What makes you think the guy has to be cheating just because he beat you? Ever think that if you tried learning how he does it you could do it too?

Players that are getting preferential treatment like the gunsight shows? And how is that? Did you know you can use that gunsight for yourself right from that picture? Go to C:/Program files/HTC/Aces High II/sights and just put it in there. Then you can select that sight from the preferences menu in game.



There's just one last point I'd like to make:

Can't tell if this a joke or not.
If its a joke then well its not funny.

Ifs it not then your just trying to fight the 38 on its terms.
get co-alt with it and take away the alt advantage.

Those 38 drivers you are talking about must laugh thier heads off watching guys try to climb to them just to stall and flop over.

This is funny :rofl.  The p-38J is far from uber, there's just a lot of good 38 sticks in midwar.  That's the simple fact.  I know most of them and most know me, I've won some I lost some against them.  Do I fear them, no, do I respect them, yes.  Perking the 38j seems silly, it's got it's weak spots like any plane in midwar.  It fights great in the verticle, but it turns mediocre, climbs well, good accleraton and top speed, but also a big target.  I'll stick to my F4u-1's and my 109 G2's in midwar, yea they have their flaws too but I try to avoid others taking advantage of them.

The P-38 fails to lead the pack in any single performance category, even in mid-war. It is a Swiss army knife and there are simply many skilled pilots who can seamlessly switch between the corkscrew and the nail-file when needed...

I did a few quick chart comparisons. It turns out the only plane that potentially needs perking in MW is the La-5FN, being as about as fast or faster than the nearest unperked British, American, and German birds in speed (Mosquito, P-51B, 109G2) at the typical low-levels and having a smaller turn radius than all of these rivals to boot. More lethality than everything except the Mossie as well. The La-5fn badly out-does the P-38J in every category until nose-bleed alts.

So if one is looking for an MW uber-plane to pick on, it is not the 38J. Heck, you should perk the 109G2 before you perk the P-38J.

Only real thing it has is speed as its main advantage over the P-38, it won't beat it in the vertical and when speeds get low, the P-38 will out turn it.

Yeah, Shuffler and I were having a discussion along this sort of line with some guy on the Knights side that didn't seem to like P-38s and took exception with us flying exclusively.  IIRC, he even made the comment about us SAPP members being able to make consistant one shot kills in a vertical zoom climb from d1.2 out.  Guess after he found the gun sight, he's probably using it too.  Hope he figures out to raise the gunsight so his view isn't obstructed by "Shoot Here".

Just in the p38's defence:
It is somewhat difficult to fly (only in AH 3 months now so most stuff is difficult)
I have flown 1 v 1 against akak and it was a good fight against my spit V lasted quite some time till I made a fatal error and akak nailed me. Its his experience not the p38. Just Imagine a squad of la5 pilots with that experience :O

Where did I mention I have three sorties or any kills?

It's sad that you guys don't realize how much the P-38J makes the game play unbalanced in the Mid-War arena but then I'm pretty sure most of you players fly in the Late-War arena with all your fast late war planes and couldn't hack it in the Mid-War arena.  If you did then you would see first hand how much the P-38J makes the game unfair for everyone else.  Even though this tour is fresh the P-38J is still the top killer and with these SAPP players flying them it's really no fair for us honest players that can't compete because we don't have a special plane given to us like they do.  If we all flew the same P-38J then I wouldn't be demanding it be perked but as you can see from a comment from one of them about glass cockpits, it's obvious they have some favoritism going their way.

I think the perks should be based on the individual instead of the plane.  It would be extremely easy to code something into the perk system that would base the perks not on the airplane but on the player itself.  This system would check the player's stats and if the system sees that the player has gained a lot of kills in a certain plane then the system would place a perk price on that plane.  This way guys like those SAPP players that make up a large significant of kills in one plane would be forced to fly another plane that they aren't skilled in and then we'll see who has the last laugh.

I just find it strange that it's only those in SAPP that are able to make shots in a vertical zoom climb from d1.2 out and kill with just a single 20mm round.  Or why is it only that SAPP players are able to out turn planes that are well known to be better maneuvering planes like the Hurricane IIc, A6M5, Seafire, Spitfire 9, Spitfire 8 and the P-51B (which hands down in real life was far better than the P-38 ever was, which was recently shown on that Great Planes on the Military Channel).  Not to mention that any of the Luftwaffe aircraft were far superior with the exception of the Stuka and maybe the Bf 110C-4.  The others blow the P-38 out of the water but that's not the case here for certain players, which proves that SAPP players get specially 'tuned' P-38Js and the Luftwaffe fighters are extremely under modeled.  I just watched last week on my Wings of the Luftwaffe DVD how easily a Bf109 could out maneuver in both the vertical and horizontal against a P-38 and basically thought they were nothing more than flying targets.  But that's not how it is in here.  Need any more facts or proof?

P38J in mid-war give me the creeps !

Ak-Ak, Shufller, Twin-Boom, VonHoltz and few others in P38J make me sweat before the fight begins :furious :cry :mad:

I fly Spitfires all the time and when I get shot down, I go back up trying to have the edge(alt/speed) before the fight begins. Right there and then I see a different approach from the same pilot. They have the power and speed to extend and sometimes they fly away never to return :mad: But that's the game !

Sometimes I win but get shot down more often :(
That's for me to learn and get better !

Salute P38J drivers.
Win or lose, I'll try to give ya a good fight !

Maybe learning the P38J better and fight/learn their style you might be able to win the dogfights instead of perking the plane  :aok

 :rofl I go to the MW only when I know these "SAPP" guys are in there because I know it'll be alot of fun. They can be beat by just about any plane in there. You just have to not play their game. Don't take off from the same field you got shot down at. Don't go into the vertical with them, get some alt. And most important, fly with a wingman to help cover your mistakes.

These "uber" fellers are a complete blast to fight and when you get the the on one you'll know you earned it. I'm just glad they don't fly spitfires :lol

Let me know when you're in MW, and I'll wing with you and we'll see if we can't send these boys to the tower a few times. :t I'm not saying we'll beat em', but we'll sure as hell shake em' up a bit  :lol :salute

ISPY,

This whole notion is nonsense.  Do you have tangible proof that SAPP has any of these "special mods"?  Sure, we have a vast library of training films, guides, and resources.  And SAPP's Consortium of 12 meets regularly with certain people involved with the game to give their input.  But as far as I know the Blenders are the only upgrade we have.

After having come back to the game after a few tours in hiatus I have to wonder what htc have done to the FM on the P38s......I used to hate the way the nose bounced all over the place and the plane always seemed weaker in the vertical compared to other planes, like the later 109s.

Now the 109 seems weaker in the vetical compared to the 38, and the 38 seems superior in the vertical to all other FMs...at least in mid war, where I play.

Dont get me wrong...Im loving the 38 for the first time in ten years.  I just wonder if its my memory playing tricks on me or if the FMs have been altered.

And yes, the A-20 needs another 2000 pounds dead weight added to it.  Still too zeke like.  I think htc did a cut paste from the zeke FM template when creating the A-20 FM and simply forgot to change the weights.

Up a P47D11.  Force the P38 to fight your fight.  Keep your advantage.

Don't be duped into fighting your opponents fight...fight yours.  the D11 turns well

but in the vertical it is lousy to say the least.  Give yourself enough room so that the vertical

is of no consequence.  You can break combat at your leisure.

Don't whine....get smart instead.

Like lazy says the guys that are getting all the 38 kills in MW have been flying it for years. In the hand s of an inexperianced 38 pilot it's an easy kill. If you don't like being bounced by the 38 guys then fly a pony and run, except try and get kills flying a pony isnt as easy as everyone thinks.. I rather like fighting the likes of akak and shuffler. I doubt that I will ever be able to be on the end of killing them more than they kill me but it's a ton of fun. I have now able to dupe Von Holtz most of the time but it took a ton of engagments agaiinst him to do so. I have come to know his fighting style and counter it most of the time 1vs1.

 Being able to hold your E against a 38 is paramount . If I can't stay behind a 38 then I'm dead. If they are able to out climb me I'm dead. Non of these really good 38 guys miss their shot either so screw up once and your back in the tower. Perking the plane is not nessisary imo.

I just find it strange that it's only those in SAPP that are able to make shots in a vertical zoom climb from d1.2 out and kill with just a single 20mm round.  Or why is it only that SAPP players are able to out turn planes that are well known to be better maneuvering planes like the Hurricane IIc, A6M5, Seafire, Spitfire 9, Spitfire 8 and the P-51B (which hands down in real life was far better than the P-38 ever was, which was recently shown on that Great Planes on the Military Channel).  Not to mention that any of the Luftwaffe aircraft were far superior with the exception of the Stuka and maybe the Bf 110C-4.  The others blow the P-38 out of the water but that's not the case here for certain players, which proves that SAPP players get specially 'tuned' P-38Js and the Luftwaffe fighters are extremely under modeled.  I just watched last week on my Wings of the Luftwaffe DVD how easily a Bf109 could out maneuver in both the vertical and horizontal against a P-38 and basically thought they were nothing more than flying targets.  But that's not how it is in here.  Need any more facts or proof?


HAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHA!!!!!!!
Omg, Im sorry but this just soooo funny here. Ive got my fair share of kills on a P38. And Although I fly in a the LW, I fly the A6M, therefore makes the match up equal of the MW, ya? The plane is not uber. The pilots are.

Just give me a second to run through your complaint here. Your saying that guys that have flown for nearly 10 years almost exclusivly in the one plane, should LOSE to your fight?  :huh CONFUSED.COM! Then you say that paople you take the time to become proficiant in a plane should be penalised for it, and be perked? What happens when the become proficient in almost all of the planes? Heck, Ive got a squaddie (Snaphook aka Humble-Look him up, he'll teach ya a few things) who is deadly in a SBD! SO PERK IT? You then go on to say that HTC has a spy and a cheater in their midst, Pyro, who helps the SAPP, those guys I mentioned who have flown for nearly 10 Years, tweak their planes and gives them an amazing FM with apparantly 0G? Dude, you got problems

How about instead of whining on the boards and yelling cheater when you get owned by one of these 'GODS', you simply PM them a <SALUTE> And ask for advice. Clearly these gods should be willing to give out help, something about the 'AH TRAINER CORPS' tells me they might. Got no idea what gives me that idea. If I get owned by an uber player (I generally know who they are) I ask them how they did that. I generally get the reply 'meet me in the TA in 5 mins and I'll show you'. I met Snailman a few weeks ago whilst on a big buff run. He got one of my drones from about 800 out. I just groaned when I saw that name and almost bailed. I never got the chance ot ask him for advice, but I may well look him up sometime. His Buff hunting skills were amazing, I never once got my guns on him on the 6-8 passes on the 3 sets of buffs around me. ASKING people generally gets a good reply. Try it sometime  :aok

ISPY,

This whole notion is nonsense.  Do you have tangible proof that SAPP has any of these "special mods"?  Sure, we have a vast library of training films, guides, and resources.  And SAPP's Consortium of 12 meets regularly with certain people involved with the game to give their input.  But as far as I know the Blenders are the only upgrade we have.


Do I have to repost the gunsight that was created specially for them to use?  Why is it they are the only ones that are able to use a gunsight that tells them exactly where to lead and shoot?  Is that not concrete proof enough?  Or the deal with torpedos.  Last night in the Mid-War arena I overheard two SAPP players on the radio talking about bombing a town with torpedos, why can they do that and us normal players cannot?  Again, need anymore proof there is a bias going on here?

Sure, you can deny it all you want but I think I've layed out a pretty good argument full of proof and facts, which you have not produced yourself to counter any of mine.  This just goes to show that you guys have something to hide.

Only real thing it has is speed as its main advantage over the P-38, it won't beat it in the vertical and when speeds get low, the P-38 will out turn it.

ack-ack

The La5 also out-accelerates and out-climbs the P-38J badly below 7K or so. Dokgonzo's site lists the La5's no-flaps turn radius as being nearly as small as the P-38's *full* flaps radius.

As to zoom climb...

http://www.mediafire.com/?x15zgxx8sym (http://www.mediafire.com/?x15zgxx8sym)

Test is done as standard, dive to ~sea level, decelerate to 400mph, pull up vertical and use shift+X to hold the attitude until the plane falls off. The P-38's weight and torque-less operation does benefit it here, it regains ~6.1K as compared to the ~La5's 6K. It should be noted however that I leveled off from the dive slightly higher in the 38. So while a P-38 should rope be able to rope an La5 with any sort of energy advantage at all, its vertical potential is unlikely to save it from a co-e state, especially considering the advantage in energy building the La5 possesses.

Could work. I should point out, although both La-Las are equipped with massive radials attached to a very small amount of airplane, they do not seem to suffer from torque to the extent that 109-Ks, Spit14s, Tempests or other high-powered monsters do. For whatever reason.  :rolleyes:

Rather hard for me to believe in the context of this thread that P-38J fliers would want to flame me for pointing out that it is mostly a high-quality pilot base that leads to the success the stats are showing, rather than inherent superiority of the plane itself. :devil

I am not denying that as a Member of SAPP we are privvy to things others are not.  There are some amazing minds in that group with a passion for this game and the aircraft they love.  The residue of this (again) is a vast library of tried and true tactics along with some custom downloads which are used to enhance the abilities to which the P-38 can be utilized, all within the acceptable limits of "fair play" in the game.

Sounds like people just dont know how to fight the 38 because they've never fought in the 38. I'm not saying its an easy plane to kill givin the fact there is a good stick driving it. I'm just saying there's a way to get the better of every plane and every pilot flying that place. Screaming perk it... May make them a little less likely to be seen in numbers but the guys who know how to fly em, are still going to fly em, and you're still going to die... not knowing how to beat them.

What it really sounds like is you got your butt handed to you multiple times by someone in a 38 and you think it's the plane not the pilot. While the 38 is a sweet ride, its not invicible especially against some of the other planes in the MWA.

If you find your rear getting handed to you over and over again you should do one of two things. Watch and learn... Or grab a ride that's comparable in flight characteristics and work them... While you're watching and learning.

At the end of the day crying does no good to better your ability. In this game or anything else for that matter.


Edit: Oh and if its a troll so be it... But what was written goes for anyone who has a problem with a different plane they think should be perked or what have you.

The 38j does not need a perk in the MWP arena, if you know its weakness use it to your advantage. i know 2 of em, not sayin though since we all do "God-like things" in them.

The 38j does not need a perk in the MWP arena, if you know its weakness use it to your advantage. i know 2 of em, not sayin though since we all do "God-like things" in them.

perking the 38  would do nothing .your talking about guys thats been playing this game for years and flying the 38 so there not using them . they dont even care about landing there kills .they run out of ammo or gas they auger there plane and reup.but what would happen the newer guys that would like to learn the plane .they would be limited.and the funny thing is they fly low side country's and when they fly knights everyone's there best buddy .and what are we talking about here a couple guys throwing a wrench in there undefended base taking. :noid

I just find it strange that it's only those in SAPP that are able to make shots in a vertical zoom climb from d1.2 out and kill with just a single 20mm round.  Or why is it only that SAPP players are able to out turn planes that are well known to be better maneuvering planes like the Hurricane IIc, A6M5, Seafire, Spitfire 9, Spitfire 8 and the P-51B (which hands down in real life was far better than the P-38 ever was, which was recently shown on that Great Planes on the Military Channel).  Not to mention that any of the Luftwaffe aircraft were far superior with the exception of the Stuka and maybe the Bf 110C-4.  The others blow the P-38 out of the water but that's not the case here for certain players, which proves that SAPP players get specially 'tuned' P-38Js and the Luftwaffe fighters are extremely under modeled.  I just watched last week on my Wings of the Luftwaffe DVD how easily a Bf109 could out maneuver in both the vertical and horizontal against a P-38 and basically thought they were nothing more than flying targets.  But that's not how it is in here.  Need any more facts or proof?




You should probably stay away from quoting the Military Channel. No way do they give all the planes the right credit. The P-51B was not "hands down" better than the P-38 at anything. Its all about the pilot. 25% Plane - 75% Pilot

Do I have to repost the gunsight that was created specially for them to use?  Why is it they are the only ones that are able to use a gunsight that tells them exactly where to lead and shoot?  Is that not concrete proof enough?  Or the deal with torpedos.  Last night in the Mid-War arena I overheard two SAPP players on the radio talking about bombing a town with torpedos, why can they do that and us normal players cannot?  Again, need anymore proof there is a bias going on here?

Sure, you can deny it all you want but I think I've layed out a pretty good argument full of proof and facts, which you have not produced yourself to counter any of mine.  This just goes to show that you guys have something to hide.

I'm not going to read all these posts.  Dude the 38 is a good plane in the right hands.  I've tried several times and I can't fly the damn thing.  I've almost, repeat almost asked for help on how to fly them.  My simple solution is that I don't.  Please don't bash the SAPP guys for knowing how to fly there plane and with good wingman tactics.  I've run into them and even gotten some good advice on how I could have fight them better in the future.  Don't flame them. Just go up there and beat em.  Learn from your mistakes.  I knew in LW I was going to get picked or shot down, but if you give up you'll never learn.  Plus they won't respect you.  Pawz and one of his buddies which I think is still learning the P38, were flying high alt cap.  Pawz shot me down when I got on his buddy and I immediately reupped and went back.  I came co alt and co e with Pawz. I had very close firing solutions on him and after a good tussle he got me.  He offered me advice that so far has worked for me.  I after i got pwned he respected the fight.  I respected his skills and he paid me off with good advice.  I still may not be able to shoot him down but i'll be a little bit more experienced thanks to a SAPP pilot who likes a good fight.  <S> to all SAPP pilots.

It's more like it's hard to find a fight in EW since most that play in there do nothing but milk run undefended bases.  Other day I saw 15 in EW, figured I'd drop in and up a G and have some fun.  Turns out I was the only player in a fighter, everyone else was in a GV or buff hitting undefended bases.

 :rofl no..... not the mighty Kuhn T. You should have upped a D3A. I flew against 6 of them there without receiving as much as a ping, got 2 of them and pinged the heck outta the rest. I tried to rtb when outta ammo and they chased me all the way back while blasting me on the all channel. One guy augered diving on me when his 109 comressed right at my base. I was laughing so hard I screwed up the landing and didn't land the kills. That was sometime ago and I haven't been back. It could and was a fun place to fight about a year ago. Heck Lusche was playing alot in the arena back then. Now the place is like taking a handful of Benedryl.  It would be fun to have a EW night once a week.

It's more like it's hard to find a fight in EW since most that play in there do nothing but milk run undefended bases.  Other day I saw 15 in EW, figured I'd drop in and up a G and have some fun.  Turns out I was the only player in a fighter, everyone else was in a GV or buff hitting undefended bases.


ack-ack

I've been spending alot of time in the EW lately.

My mission? To ruin the fun.

Most of my time is spent in the tower waiting for a dar bar or a base to flash.

It usually doesn't take too long.

Most of the times the bases I find flashing are the ones with NO players on that side!

I change to that side and the fun begins.

There were 5 or 6 guys in a squad that were attacking rooks (i think) the other nite.

Of course there were no rooks on!

So I switched and proceeded to thwart their evil plans.

I actually received a PM from one of them asking me to "please leave us alone" !!

I love the EW now.



Theres actually some pretty nice guys in there, but most are somewhat misguided.

That actually sounds like a lot of fun when the other arenas suck.  I would only be satisfied if I got some angry PMs though.  <cross fingers>

As far as players who play EW just to capture bases with no resistance.... it's their $15 dolllars and HTC is laughing all the way to the bank.  :rofl

I honestly don't really care that they are doing it, it just gives me great pleasure to foil their plans.

I think I'm starting to lean toward the "Dark Side"!!

Does that make me a bad person??

P-38J is still the top killer in the MW so far this tour.  What's really funny is that the panzer and whirblewind are the only two that are close to the P-38J in the kills department.

Scroll down to "Planes" and select Mid-War arena and it will show a breakdown of kills by planes.
