Title: change FM2 to a 35eny ac
Post by: surfinn on August 07, 2013, 02:34:47 PM
FM2 doesn't justify the current 25eny it carries

Its underpowered
Its undergunned with only 4, 50 cals
It can be out turned by Latrobes P47d25
It has holes in the floor on either side of the seat so one shot will pilot kill ya from those angles
Just about any Aircraft in AH can out run it or out turn it
It has little to no chance of downing bombers with only 4 50 cals
Over all performance should put this ac way lower than any 109 in the game all of which are armed with 20mms at the very least.

Basically no one should ever fly this piece of junk it doesn't even have a stick in the cockpit.

It is one of the best turning fighters in the game and is very tough.

That you got out flown by a P-47 in one *guessing based on the P-47 quip) has little to do with the airplane and lots to do with you.

Agreed.  You'll like it better if you spend more time in it.

There can be a lot said about most of you points but this

... is a vast exaggeration :P

I for one use the P-51B with the same 4x50cals quite a lot for buff hunting. Sawing off wings, setting fuel tanks ablaze and killing the pilot... it works!  :old:

Agreed.  It is all about using the 4/.50's in the "zone", being at or near the convergence setting and not wasting ammo otherwise.

The FM2 has exactly the same 4 0.50cals as the P-51B.

FM-2 is a fun little bird. Very forgiving to fly, can take a HELL of a beating, (assuming you even get hit. The FM-2 is a DAMN small target) good maneuverability, solid if not spectacular gun package, and a TON of ammo. About its only real vices are top speed and rate of climb.

 If you are getting out turned by a jug in an FM2 then you have other issues

I notice that you "Sunfinn" land a lot of kills in the FM2.

(For tank-Ace I changed from blue to green.)

I'm not seeing any color, which is they way it should be :P


To the OP, you seem to have a lot of issues with planes and vehicles in the game. First the M4(76) isn't that great, second the FM2 sux....

surfinn you just want to perk farm we all know how you are in the FM2 the only time you die fair and square is when you screw up bad which happens very rarely :D

Honestly erick the FM2 is such a crappy AC I wouldn't advise anyone to fly it for the original reasons posted and hell no 109 with 20mms should have a lower eny value than the easy to kill FM2 :t

You seem to have taken your own advice & park it in locations that do nothing but flash bases.

I took one look at the fuselage code and LOL'ed. With the placement of the roundel it looks like it reads "S.O.B."
