Post by: alpini13 on January 03, 2017, 09:58:54 PM

You sound like a skipping record.  Let them work out the bugs first in AH3, which is at this point far more important than adding any new planes or vehicles.

No point in making new planes when all people fly these days is 190Ds and P51Ds so they can escape the hoard of P51Ds and 190Ds.

Also what AKAK said.

You dont need to run away, when you can climb away (109k)  :D

I can outclimb anything but a jet or another Pony (unless it is an LA-7 below 7K') when escape is the only option.  K-4 next best after that.  It can climb better than the LA as you go higher, but it runs out of gas quick.

I'd rather more people fly in the K honestly. Would make for much better turn fights and create more fun furballs because you really have to get in there and actually aim. It's a not a BnZ style plane and it cant dive faster than 500, so it's not necessarily a BnZ, run, easy aim plane like the 190D or P51, which makes a big difference in the fight actually.

HTC can't answer now. They are too busy making new Beaufighters and Whirlwinds for us.

On rare occasions I take out some uber planes for a ride just to remember what they are like. Damn the K4 felt totally invincible. Sure, I can escape easier in a P51 or 190D, but with the K4 I could stay in the fight, make nearly every possible mistake and still recover the advantage. Shot all my 60 taters into empty air though and ended up with 3 kills using the cowl guns... 109K4s really do encourage you to play aggressively. All 109s do for that matter.

Mossy is a great plane.  Wish I could do it more justice with my non-uber skills....   :(

And this is a bad thing?  I am at like 6.7 K/D against p-51...  Like clubbing seals...

Well. That's because 90% really don't know how to fly it to the full envelope. I was referring to alt monkey tactics used by players who fly BnZ only planes in order to prevent getting ganged. This game style play increases as more and more people run into gangs of alt monkey BnZers. " I have to fly a P51D or 190D to get away from the hoard, or to catch the runners" this creates more and more alt monkey timid flyers in easier planes. That's IMO sort of why the fights have died down and there has been a lack of enthusiasm in fighter combat (besides my gripes about maps). No one likes to constantly fight 190Ds at 15K when all they do is run and BnZ and pick. Thats why the fights aren't as fun as they use to be. Too many people flying timid in easy planes at 15K to avoid easy planes at 15K ganging and picking them. It's a vicious cycle. IMO, shorter base distances and less mountains will keep the fights lower, and make the fights quicker, which will make players not need to fly these alt monkey BnZers bore fest tactics all the time

Dealing with LW fast rides is easy.  Come in high, look mean at Pee-51's and Run-90's, they dive from 20K to the deck towards their base, resume play...  Them I don't worry about.  They only have one defensive tactic, how fast can I get to 500 mph in a dive.  The ones that don't do that, are the ones I worry about. 

Ya, they come back in a little bit, but by then, I am on the deck trying to turn my M-Jug with spitsteens and LALA's.  <shrug>

Alpini you gave me the idea to create another aircraft poll.  Please take a look at it here:
