Title: Which 'in game' planes can do this
Post by: Greg 'wmutt' Cook on May 16, 2001, 12:15:00 PM

Which planes, currently in the game, can pull over the top cleanly from the takeoff roll?  I have only been able to do it with the N1k2, and almost with the Typhoon.

Please note, This is not a Bash the N11k thing, I'm just wondering.

(I have seen a P-38 do this maneuver in RL but I can't even come close in AH.)

I've done it in the Dora and the Tempest. Both had 25% fuel.

Easily in a Zeke, done it in both Spits too.

Cannot do it in G10, or 190s. Haven't tried other 109's

I can do it in a tank.  You doubt me?  Challenge me and I'll post a pic.

Muttz, I could tell you, but....you know the rest of that line.. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Actually, thats the "Pizza Man"  from  last years "Evil Con Mission", as viewed on my film viewer when I replayed it, pretty weird, huh?

Ever think that maybe, the pilot held the P-38 on the ground long enough for it to build enough speed to do a loop...?

Even so, the gear snaps off ours at about 175 ias or so.  And in RL the P-38 I saw used a lot less runway to roll that ours seems to take.
