yes you can it happened to me many years ago as well as I've taken out a 17lbs manned gun with a .45 and I had a pilot walk up to my m3 and kill me from point blank range

The O' Club / Re: Just changed their minds..

I have a feeling that most of the parents who homeschool would agree with the O' Club crowd you are referring to on most topics.  Here are the results of that ...

Academic and college performance

Standardized tests: Homeschooled students have scored, on average, 15 to 25 percentile points higher on standardized assessments than their public school peers.

SAT/ACT scores: They have higher average SAT scores (1190) vs. (1060) and ACT scores (26.5) vs. (21).

College readiness: Homeschoolers show a higher college acceptance rate (87%) vs. (68%) and a higher 4-year college graduation rate (66.7) vs. (57.5%).

College GPA: They tend to have higher average college GPAs (3.41) vs. (3.12).

Contributing factors

Personalized learning: Homeschooling allows for a curriculum tailored to a student's individual learning style, strengths, and weaknesses.

Focused environment: A home environment with fewer distractions can lead to more effective learning.

Parental involvement: Greater parental involvement can contribute to the success of homeschooled students.

Don't waste your time.. this is a guy that goes by the books and the "system"... which has been failing this country for quite some time now.

He also thinks how people interact on a video game forum has any relation to how they are raising their children.   If you give enough free stuff to people like that, they will believe whatever MSNBC throws down their pipe.

Next time you're in a fast food drive-thru, pay with cash.  It's painful to watch how many of the kids/young adults who take your money struggle to count out your change.

Another one I find humorous is I'll ask them if hey can give me change for a 20. If they say yes I'll ask them for a 10 and 3 fives. You'd be surprised how many times I've had to hand them the extra five back....

Has anyone ever encountered a random pw wound before? Is this even possible?

The A5 is the best turn fighter of the group, probably the best midwar fighter other than the P38J. Acceleration, dive speed, roll rate, and 500 cannons make it very good, but cant out turn a 109, p38, F4u, Ki84, nik, or spit given equal pilots. Its almost a good turn fighter but not quite. Its a moderately hard plane to fly in the MA if your team isnt winning the fight since you can't outrun as many planes like you can in a D9. Forcing you to turn fight.

The A8 is horrible for dog fighting. Id only use for HO rampage and to attack low bombers. Best for shooting tanks, shooting buildings, and destroying manned guns and radar.

The F8 is practically worthless. I consider one of the worse planes in the game. Very tough to be consistently successful in it.

The D9 is practically one of the best fighter interceptors in the game. Fast acceleration, amazing climb, amazing dive, amazing roll rate, with high powered cannons and 50 cals. Its one of the best planes for noobs to learn E management. Extremely tough plane to shoot down with its speed and flappy roll rate.


The 109s have to be flown much differently than a 190. Its not the same fighter style. 109s arent BnZers really. They are more like sharks weaving in and out of a large fish hoard making quick unpredictable strikes. The G6 imo is the second worst 109 behind the E. Id recommend either the G2 or G14 if you dont like the 1 30mm k4. The G2 turns better, is lighter, and much easier to handle and aim than a G6. Its slower but generally speaking you are gonna have to turn with it regardless if in a G2 or G6, so youre better off in a G2 that turns better. The G2 if flown with correct vertical ACM can outurn most unsuspecting fighters with flaps out. The G14 is a great plane but still just a little slow. One of my favorite planes in the game. It can out turn some Spitfire pilots if you know what youre doing but has to be flown with vertical ACM. I always recommend gondolas because hitting a plane with 3 20mms is way more effective than 1 and can mean you may not have to chase as long and get picked following. 109s cant dive well. And that presents the largest issue for BnZ pilots who arent practiced in spiral dives.

The 190A5 is certainly more of your style, and im glad you are switching to that, but just realize you'll probably get ganged more and youll need to practice reversal ACM and 1v1 ACM to be able to get away from more fights. This makes the game more fun for others though instead of just hitting X and "extending" away because your plane is a super late war speedster.  :aok
Good info thanks vio

Yeah, I have been advised of that by several other players as well, including my own squadies. I'll get Hitech to send me the files again and see about that. Also been thinking about making the Small airfields on the center island, uncapturable for the gv guys, and that would deal with the issue as well. :salute

Thank you Jimmy.    The last couple of times the map was up during prime time the island was owned by one country.  The country with the V$ island had a hard time getting back on the island.

Please consider as well a third base for each country.  A GV base set close to the center for three way tank battles with a short spawn back to the small airfield to help protect that base.

NDIsles has a lot of potential if a better balance can be established on the map layout.

I think if you make those center bases uncapturable you extend the life cycle of the current worst map in the game by a lot. The time investment required when on the offensive is on the high end side. Time is precious after all… and nobody wants isles up all week.

Here's my counterpoint: Fewer people will complain about the map being up if there's always a fight going on the center island. There's plenty of other bases elsewhere for you to capture without ruining the center island fight.
