Someone asked what it looked like from 60K alt... well here it is
-
ummmmmmmmm?????
-
hold on HTC chokin on orginal pic size...
-
here you go a nice and tiny pic
-
that is not adjusted for aspect ratio etc, it really looks that way.
-
Turbot is an alt monkey.
-
Just figuring that out Ely?
Whats your new handle?
huh huh huh???????????
I won't tell
-
^^ what Ely said :D

Here is a pic of my goon at 150,000 feet lol
-
Just wondering... how long does it take for a paratrooper to fall from 150.000 feet? :D

I've heard about this lol... how the hell do you do it?

Troops take so long to fall, they would of been around the world long before they hit the ground.
Now to get that high, what I did was take 100% fuel and take off from the highest base available. I set the autoclimb and wait patiently to get high enough for the turbojets to kick in (27,000 to 30,000 feet). Be warned, it can take upward of at least 45 minutes to get that high with 100% of fuel. Just leave it on autoclimb, and you will know when the turbo kicks in. The climb rate increases to roughly 3,000 to 4,000 feet per MINUTE. ALso fairly easy to maneuver once it kicks in also.
The limit to as high as you can go is only limited to the amound of fuel you bring. I have a film somewhere of dropping troops at 2000,000 feet. Hope this helps!
-
200,000....LOL
Ok, troops dropped guys...they should be arriving in 47 hours.
-
And after the troopers jumped, you ejected out of the plane, too, right? You wouldn't ask your men to do something that you aren't willing to do, now would you?
The map probably reset 3 times while you were hanging in your chute.
-
Na, I got bored following them down and nosed the goon straight down.
Stress....snap...snap.....sna p.....
BOOM! I am in the tower LOL
-
Suprised the cv flak didn't get ya.:D
-
Where did the turbojets come from?

Only us hardcore goon pilots know how to activate the turbojets LOL :D

I've heard that the "air" doesn't exist after a certain altitude and therefore the "air" resistance doesn't exist either. Therefore the results is exceptional climbing and handling.
Just what I've heard.

had to turn it into a gif so it wasnt so big in size.. but this has to go in this thread heheee..
I actually ran out of fuel chasing this b17. we ended up near 42k with him outclimbing my super-light Ta152 :eek:
-
The "bug" is twofold.
First is that air over 60k is like flying at sea level.
The second is that the c47's engines are bugged and instead of losing power, can run at an incredibly high MP. (once over exactly 27000feet, the c47 burns fuel unbelievably fast, as it puts out an incredible amoutn of power) It will rip itself apart at full throttle in level flight even.

Heh, that makes no sense. If there is no air, you're in a vacuum. If there was no air, thus no air pressure and no lift, you'd fall like a rock, quite literally.
-
So you have no drag, some lift, and no oxygen starvation?

It's a shame you can't go higher then 48k online, it sucks actually. Once you reach 48-49k the plane blows up :(

I spotted one of those orbital C-47s last night near A10 on the Island map. When I climbed to intercept it, I closed within d1.0 yards as we both approached 30,000ft and then the Gooney left me in a cloud of dust as it accelerated away and continued to climb like a bat out of hell.
ack-ack

Wilbuz,
You have to pass the physics change altitude very carefully to avoid the damage, most of the time the change is so sudden there's at least one damaged part, but it's not impossible to manage.

idiots.......................

Soooo true.. lmao!
-
HMMM, seem like they should perk the goonie
-
Uhhhmmm, ok Moot thanks :)
That change should be alot higher then 48k though, atleast 55k IMO as it is now I can't cruise around at the altitude I want to in my Tank :D

Anyone remember the early AH bug (easter egg?) which would launch a P-51 vertically like a rocket at about 10,000 fpm? The wings would break off at liftoff and there was a trail of flame behind the plane. In no time, you were at 150,000 feet. I remember doing it, but dont remember how anymore.
It was a hoot....
