Sounds like a very nicely balanced setup!

BTW BOB has been a blast this week. Would love to see it again soon

I'm worried because the Yak9U and La7 will be untouchable. Unless the Emily is a death star. But we'll try it and see.

I predict 2 hours before the whines explode about not being able to catch any of the Russian fighters.

From the looks of this thread i guess the Niki isn't so "uber" after all, Or the Russian planes are more 'Uber" than the japanese planeset. But once in the MA Yaks are rarely seen and Niki UFO whines are abuntant, must be a rock/paper/scissors thing.

You are exactly right, it isnt the uber monster that some make it out to be. It will be hard pressed against either of the russian rides.

Yak 9U is almost as fast as a 109 G10 at the deck, the Yak has no wep and when both planes fly no WEP the YAK is faster. The Yak turns better and is proabrly THE best plane to scissor in, it's only drawback is ammunition and guns although it's only slightly less ammo then in the 109 it's a bit more powerfull. La7 is faster then YAK but turns worse and climbs better, accelereates a bit better and holds E a bit better.

IMO there might be a need for restricting these 2 planes some kind of way, the Niki IS Uber but not fast enough to catch any of those two.

We'll see though

Thx for great setup. Really had fun tonight. Good furballing and...

it was like a big big H2H ( ~~to all H2H players)~~

Be interesting to check out the kill stats when this is (sic) over.

My bet: Jap(anese) planeset will prevail by a respectable margin.

ergRTC · « **Reply #27 on:** May 17, 2002, 10:47:20 PM »

just upped a zero in the new ct. Not bad at all. In the end numbers always rule a fight (most of the time) and I think this will be an even set. If a yak gets slow with a zero it is wasted. If 2 yaks get slow with 1 zero the zero has a good chance. If 2 yaks stay fast, a zero can still avoid. If 3 yaks doing whatever they please end up fighting a zero and a niki, they are up shist creek.
