Whats more boring than a Kenny G album??
« on: December 22, 2002, 02:37:56 AM »
Trying to fight a 262 in any other plane but a 262 :eek:

The entire fight is nothing but break turns until you run em out of gas or ammo.  And when you do get them to screw up you've got about a 2 second window to kill  them before they dive for the deck and run away. BOOOOOOOORING!!!!!!!! Maybe I'll go play Boogle with the inlaws.
 
Consider this an offical whine :D

Not exactly, but I understand your point.

Hellcats are only about 30 mph faster than Zekes, whereas the Me 262 is 100 mph faster than anything the Allies have. I can kill Hellcats with a Zeke much more readily than killing 262s flying a P-51 or Spitfire XIV.

My thinking is that even in the CT the 262 needs a small perk.  

And, of course, our perk totals in the CT should be reset each week.

I am seeing what I can do about the perk issue on 262.  Can't guarantee anything this week; but I am aware of the issue and am working it.

All I saw of Allied players in my visits to the CT this week were Spit XIVs and Tempests.  They didnt hesitate to extend or BnZ my 109F..... where is Funkeds complaint form when I need it?

I feel their pain
had to go Allied (yuk) last night as the lufts outnumb the limeys by at least 2 to 1
pretty boring as 95% of the lw were jets
like the early scenerios much better in CT than this 1945 speed fest

what's the next setup gonna be?

The Stuka wouldn't stand a chance. Of the three dive bombers, the best air to air is the SBD. Largely due to effective guns.

yup your right about the SBD  that thing hurts.

  Actually I got into a good fight in my Val vs a P47 ,once I got him slowed down(mistake on his part) closed to 97yds and let him have it,still took alot of ammo almost half to down him but was a good fight never the less.
