gonna fly.
When the likes of the chog and the G10 wont be able to make any points. what are the likes of HB and torque gonna fly?
-
I flew the Hog from start even when FM models was porked and never did complained. Why would I change now. I fly for fun so it will be business as usual in this camp.

Probably still the Jug.
Maybe the Mustang....Ice keeps harping on me to get back in the Caddy.

I've been toying with the 109f4 some lately. She aint no bullet, but pretty fun to fly. I also have heard somewhere that it has *class*. <g,d,r>

I dont mind about stinkin' perk points (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif). I will fly my Fw190A5 until the 190D9 comes. Then the D9 will be my standard ride (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).
I love Fw190s, and the D9 is my love since I was a little child. Each time I have points for it I will grab a Ta152 and fly it a bit, but, man, no perk plane can compare with the beauty, class, and charm of the long nosed wuerger (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

RAM, isn't the D9 going to be a perk plane as well?

Don't think so. Recall the poll that Pyro did on the Aircraft/Vehicles forum?...there were a lot of choices and he said that "some of those choices would be perked not to affect gameplay".
The Fw190D9 was one of the "worse" performers in that list, so I am sure that it wont fall into perk list.
In fact a Fw190D9 in the current planeset wont be unbalancing. It turns worse than a Fw190A8, and accelerates and climbs worse than many of the planes in AH right now...IT would be kind of a more radical P51D, faster but worse turner.

The 190's.
I tried the A8 the other day. It opens up Osti's like a can opener, is serious fast on deck, rolls so fast its funny (it would snap your neck as your helmet smashed out the canopy), and how in the hell do you shoot all that ammo off? The .30mm's hit like the "turbo lasers."
It even is a HOing beast if you get in a pickle....jeez. I'll have to try the A5 cuz it supposed to even turn well? Wow.
Good grief, for all the LW tears rusting out their keyboards over the Niki or Chog, do you think they ever stopped to look at the terror machine they already got to counter them?
I hope that the 190 has a low point value, cuz wait till you get some good pilots in it. The LW crybabies and their PR dept. are going to have to do some creative writing to defend this uber ride.

I'll fly the Jug some more (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif), the D model Hawg (anyone says it is hard to get kills in is nuts.......did it last night.......seems to me to be easier than the C model), and of course, the F6F Hellcat.......even if HT feels generous and slips the 4x20mm armament option in for it.
I will no doubt spend some time in the A6M5 also, just for fun.
Am not gonna spend too much time worrying about perk points, since at the rate I accumulate points, I will have all of 3 or 4 hours to fly a perk plane, if I am even able to get any built up........so it's gonna be business as usual for me.
-
No Creamo, I beleive you should stick with the N1K2, its good practice for me when I outturn you in my 190.

Im not kidding. Except for the G10 when I want to test just how fast a prop driven plane can climb without makin a guys ears bleed, or how long you can wep a engine without it melting, I'm driving the 190's.
And dont worry about turning with me Nath, Im going to hide behind 3 or 4 guys like every other LW expert does. 4or 5 190's barreling in on you guns blasing with 1500 rounds...oh man, you going to need goggle wipers for the tears.

LOL!!! then you will be surprised when you fly a Spitfire XIV (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) or a Bearcat (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
And the WEP thing has a name, MW50. Be ready for it, as the Fw190D9 has MW50 too (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Good try to throw the hook again, Creamo (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) I'm still not biting (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
190A8 is the hardest plane to fight in AH, folowed closely by P47
And Fw190A5 is a plane where you will die all day long as is as fast as a spit IX (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
-
Same planes I do now.
109s, Typhoons, A P-47s.
Hans.

Creamo will switch back to the dweeb rides once he realizes that the 190 actually requires train of thought to fly.
Once you lower yourself to planes such as Niki and 1C you can't fly a plane such as 190, your mindset is for planes that already do 75% of the work for you.

Aint gunna make any difference to me. Im still gunna fly my stang. The times i fly there are hardly anyone around so trying to accumulate points will take so long it will be a waste of time for me.

Somehow I feel Creamo will join the dark side (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

"190A8 is the hardest plane to fight in AH, folowed closely by P47"
No way. A6M5 and C202 are much harder.
-
I desagree RAM, I would put P47 hardest then A8, simply because A8 has canons. In the P47, I cannot snap shot as I need a long burst to blow up something, in a A8 I can snapshot. All this meaning that im the P47, if I want a good kill, I need to place myself, usually bleeding E to achieve this firing position and make myself in a lot of trouble if I miss. The A8 doesn't need that, you can B&Z and spray and "wait" for a 2 ping wing ripping.
The part where I agree nethertheless is that both require skills to fly, especially low and turnfighting (anyway, I hate B&Zing... but I'm learning).
Funked, that's true too, 202, zeke are tought plane to fly, but their lack of weapons and speed is largely compensated by their maniability, a good pilot can transform himself as a "soap in a bathtub" and even surprise an underestimating late war pilot.
-
Funked...touche (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) but those are planes EASY to fight, but HARD to survive on them (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

A8 wont rip a wing with 2 pings in a life time. Mausers simply suck, and BIGTIME.
I still put a 190A8 as a harder plane to fight in, Frenchy. The reason is that the 190 stall is particulary nasty, and the P47 has a bit more of turning and stall capability.
BTW email me, I have a thing for you (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

hiya all:
well I fly the p51, the N1K, the spit a little bit, and now and then will grab a chog to hit hangers and acks, once in a while the p47. I am lousy in all them, oh well.
But I dont care what plane I go up against in a fight, because it all comes down to who is the pilot that is shooting at me. what are his skills and how well does he fly his choosen ride. everybody says the chog is just point and shoot, well not if i'm at the controls, I will loose 9 out of 10 fights when I am in a chog, and the one I do win is sheer luck.
Ive seen one pilot fly the 202 and win his fights in it, that is pilot skill, not the guns that he has.
you watch Frenchy in a p47, 1 on 1 he will win most of his fights and it does not matter what the otrher pilot is flying, Frenchy has good skill, god help us all if he ever decides to up in a chog.
Now as I dont have a lot of kills, I dont really care about perk planes, I would just loose it the first 5 mins I was up. then have to start building points again. so if I can transfer my perk points to somebody else I would.
what it all comes down to is pilot skill, not the plane somebody has choosen to fly. ant plane can be beat by any other plane.
